Ah yes it is a great film and she's fine- maybe too often overlooked?

Great list. How about Anna Magnani in Mamma Roma? Sharmila Tagore in Devi (among others)?

Such a great list and I completely agree with placing The Spirit of the Beehive in your top eight. I can't believe I hadn't heard of that film until this year. Now I'm telling everyone about it. I keep hearing good things about Sansho the Bailiff. Think I'll be adding that to my watch list.

Suggestions: Giulietta Masina in "Nights of Cabiria", Meryl Streep in "Sophie's Choice", Setsuko Hara in "Late Spring" and "Tokyo Story", Catherine Deneuve in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", Marisa Paredes in "All About My Mother" and "The Devil's Backbone".

once you see Matter of Dignity and Maria Candelaria,you'll see if that "little wonder" is mighty enough to surpass their legendary performances (especially Watts' neurotic psychosis but as a film,Mulholland was stellar)

Zhang Ziyi flies through the air with the greatest of ease, she is agile, pretty, perky, feisty, bursting with life and irrepressible.. little wonder British critic Gilbert Adair packed in his column at the Independent as he'd fallen for her. And then add Michelle Yeoh's wise integrity. Zhang Ziyi is fantastic, i could add her for 2046 and...

alright,i take back the Tanaka remark,it's because i love her too much that i want to see Sansho's performance higher Kenji ;) also,i understand your Kidman appraisal in Dogville but you surely can't be serious that the ladies of Crouching Tiger and Naomi Watts,all of them surpass the performances of del Rio,Lambeti and Hara in those aforementioned films??? (except Michelle Yeoh,but she has played better)

Dolores del Rio in Maria Candelaria Ellie Lambeti in A Matter of Dignity Setsuko Hara in The Idiot if your Top 8 is definite,all 3 performances above are a 1000 times better than Zhang Ziyi,Naomi Watts and Kinyo Tanaka,trust me on that ;)

For your consideration: Isabelle Huppert in Gabrielle (an actress who at times seems to get more out a moment of silence then many can hope to achieve in a lifetime of work.) Virginie Ledoyen in A Single Girl (The camera never wavers from following her about her job has she contemplates her future) Maggie Cheung in Centre Stage (Biopic based on the life of Ruan Ling-yu, Chinese silent actress, Maggie brought the character to life in what I believe to be one of her finest performances.)
