Where is the Hillary Swank option?

Dude, this is a HABSY thread; that means the actress has to meet one of three requirements for consideration:
1) it has to be a European film, where there are only subtitles
2) it has to be a period piece, where we can go OMFG over costume design
3) it has to be Nicole Kidman in Birth

So, despite Hillary Swank's success as a convincing actress, her colonial horseface just doesn't cut it in the world of the HABSYS.  Now, if she were in The Age of Innocence or something, maybe.

It's a joke. I am well aware of Habs loathing of horseyface.

It's surprising that he is so keen on the botox-induced petrified-wood face of Nicole Kidman.

Is the chick from Downfall Eva Braun or the secretary?
One of his secretaries, yeah.  The one who was in the bizarre scene at the end with the kid on the bicycle.

I find it hard to watch Der Untergang. I know it's coming but Himmler's betrayal always leaves me in tears.

Actually, I found the scene in which Magda Goebbels forces cyanide pills in the jaw of each of her children grueling to watch.

Far and Away is the best movie, way over Eyes Wide Shut.

Discuss.

I agree. Don't remember Days of Thunder well enough to say whether it's better than Eyes Wide Shut or not.

You mean the one not ending gang-raped by the Russians and never to be seen again?

Played by Corinna Harfouch, and my supporting actress winner 2004 for that role. :contract:
