Through the Opera Glasses - 3 - My Top Ten Female Film Characters From The Past Ten Years


My fellow missmakeamovie blogger, Ramona Barckert just posted a challenge to name our favorite female film characters from the past ten years.

This is a response to a Top 100 Movie Characters list she found at Empire Magazine online. There were only 12 women on the entire list.


My favorite character is actually The Bride (Uma Thurman) - Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, 2003/2004. But she was already named on Empire's list. She placed at #66.

Here is my response to Empire's list.


1 - Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) - Lord of the Rings, 2001



2 - Fox (Angelina Jolie) - Wanted, 2008



3 - Gail (Rosario Dawson) - Sin City, 2005













4 - Svetlana (Mariya Poroshina) - Night Watch and Day Watch, 2004















5 - Georgina Woodhouse (Helen Mirren) - Greenfingers, 2000


6 - Alice (Natalie Portman) - Closer, 2004





7 - Sabine (Nicole Kidman) - Moulin Rouge, 2001






8 - Griet (Scarlett Johansson) - Girl With a Pearl Earring, 2003













9 - Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) - Election, 1999













10 - Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) - Bridget Jones' Diary, 2001

Thursday Thirteen - 54 - 13 of My Favorite Fictional Couples

I'm taking a one-week break from my book review Thursday Thirteens. I had to get a writing submission ready for a competition which I passed in on Monday, on my lunch hour. That didn't give me enough time to read the book I won from Amanda Ashby - You Had Me at Halo.

I'll be reviewing that next week, however, so make sure to stop by and find out why it's been nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award.

This week I'm featuring 13 of my favorite fictional romantic couples.


1 - King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo from 300
