1. D'oh!! No images in the poll options!

I vote for...all of the above. I haven't seen enough of any of them to have a valid opinion. :)

[jobycom]

2. If by favorite you mean most talented in the films I've seen

I go with Juliette Binoche. I'll avoid the puerile option of favorite being the one I'd most like to schtupe. Though I'm not so serious-minded that I'm not thinking of the answer. :)

[GOPisEvil]

3. ooooh...Austin only in this thread.

:bounce:

Juliette is quite gorgeous. :)

[jobycom]

7. We should do one on

hottest judges in Austin, though I could only come up with two right off the bat.

[GOPisEvil]

8. Heh...I was just thinking about EE earlier this week for some reason.

Who's the other you have in mind? My brain must not be engaged this afternoon.

[jobycom]

10. .

Gisele Trianna. Don't tell her I said that, though, I'm supposed to be mad at her.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Nice choice.

How could I forget her? D'oh!

[jobycom]

16. Dunno.

She's hard to forget. Great personality, fun to talk to, engaging and intelligent. Great flirt. Like Double E, maybe even better at casual conversation. Litle less intellectual than E, IMO.

Yeah, it's Jobycom Rates Judicial Babes day, I guess. :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

17. I haven't spoken to Gisela at length.

Just what I needed, another gorgeous, smart, liberal woman who's a great flirt. ;)

I still see E at the gym every now and then, although I've changed schedules, I don't see her as much.

We do have an embarassment of riches with our judges here in Travis County for sure. :D

[jobycom]

18. I think she's mostly a political flirt

You know the type, schmoozing with light contact and tinkly laughter? Back before she pissed of the club, she hung around it a lot, so I spoke to her a bit. Really cool person.

We do have a lot of good judges, some of whom could make great candidates for the Lege or other offices. Not just women. Stephen Yelanowski, for instance.

[GOPisEvil]

19. Ahh...I know the type.

Whatever, though, it's still pleasant.

You are very correct about our judges though. I'd like to see one of them eventually make a large enough name for him or herself to make a run at AG.

[jobycom]

23. Either of the two females we mentioned could do it.

E has the name and the right stuff, and G has the charisma. Yelanowski needs to age a bit more first, but he's sharp and energetic enough. A friend of mine ran against him for his judgeship (in the primaries) and was thoroughly and impressively shredded in debate. He's good. Just looks too young, so far. Kind of like Mark Strama.

[GOPisEvil]

24. That's another good thing. We've got plenty of young liberals, too.

Strama, Eddie Rodriguez, Dawnna Dukes (although I have my issues with her at times, I can't argue with her voting record), etc... The future is bright. B-)

[jobycom]

11. And what do you mean "For some reason?"

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

13. I can't remember why she popped into my mind.

:shrug: Those were pleasant thoughts though...

4. Genevieve Bujold

[CBHagman]

15. A great actress, but I believe she's Canadian.

Let me go check IMDB.

On edit: Okay, I've been to IMDB. Ms. Bujold was indeed born in Canada.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000991/

So she gets to go head-to-head with Kate Nelligan and Molly Parker for favorite CANADIAN actress, once we get around to them. ;-)

[Rhiannon12866]

20. I think you're right, LOL!

And I checked IMDb, as well. But she was born in Quebec, which explains the French accent. I always liked her. I first saw her, a a kid, in "Anne of the Thousand Days," with Richard Burton, at a movie theatre in London. She impressed me back then, and I've liked her ever since...:-)

[arwalden]

5. Oh! Brigitte Bardot, Definitely...

... will NOT get my vote. What a horrid wretched homophobic HAG! -- Does this cold bigoted hateful woman even OWN a hair brush?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Brigitte Bardot is homophobic? That's news to me.

(Goggles a little) YIKES! She's with LE FUCKING PEN!

[arwalden]

26. Apparently Bardot Says That Gays Are "Fairground Freaks"....

http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/2004june/1001.htm

Brigitte Bardot, the former French sex symbol, was handed out a €5,000 (£3,300 or$6,000) fine in a Paris court today for remarks made in her book “A Scream in the Silence”, published last year.

Now 69, Bardot made homophobic and racist remarks in the book. She wrote that gays were “fairground freaks who jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and, with their little castrato voices, moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through”

[NNadir]

28. This photo is evidence that one should not marry for looks. n/t.

[JI7]

41. it's like she never updated her style as she aged

still trying to pull off the same hair and makeup as when she was younger. and it just doesn't look right on her now.

it's disappointing to see she has right wing views. i always thought she was a liberal because she is big on animal rights.

[chaska]

6. OMG!!! That settles it, I'm movin'.

[terrya]

9. Catherine Deneuve

She's transcendent in everything she's in...from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" to "The Hunger". She's one of the most beautiful women to ever grace a movie screen.

[arwalden]

14. I'll Always Remember Her Role In "The Hunger"...

... that was such a hot movie.

[Misunderestimator]

46. Oh yes!!

Very very hot between her and Susan Sarandon. Hummmmahhhnahhhh Hummmmahhhnahh.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

27. And she has class and grace

I remember reading an interview with her -such intellect, such depth and such a wonderful personality.

"She's one of the most beautiful women to ever grace a movie screen"

I agree

[Flaxbee]

30. I know she's beautiful, but I really don't understand

how she can be seen as one of the most beautiful to have been on screen. I just don't see it.

I see her and think she's pretty, but enough to go ga-ga over? Nah. I'm a woman, and definitely appreciate beauty in other women, but I just don't see it in her.

But certainly, to each his own.

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. Agreed. I loved "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg".

And she has aged gracefully in movies like Indochine. Still beautiful.

Juliette Binoche runs a close second.

[Aristus]

21. Got to go with Sophie Marceau.

Her French-accented English is just stunningly sexy!

[nuxvomica]

22. You left out Jeanne Moreau

So I voted for Juliette Binoche, probably cuz I just saw "Cache" and all I kept thinking about during the movie was that I wanted to marry her. :D

[deucemagnet]

29. Anne Parillaud

I've only seen two of her movies, but she made one hell of an impression.

[speedoo]

31. Isabelle Huppert belongs on the list....

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800019676/photo/478728

but I'm giving my vote to Leslie Caron because she deserves at least one vote.

Hard to pass up Catherine D. tho.

[CBHagman]

34. Leslie Caron deserves the mention.

What other woman mentioned on this thread has appeared in films with Gene Kelly, Cary Grant, AND Johnny Depp?

[kskiska]

47. Absolutely – and Nathalie Baye, and what about Jeanne Moreau?

I also like Sandrine Bonnaire. She and Isabelle Huppert were fantastic in La Ceremonie.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

33. Thread related film recommendation ---- '8 Women'

It's a very playful murder mystery musical with a kick-ass cast:

Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Emmanuelle Béart, Fanny Ardant, Virginie Ledoyen, Ludivine Sagnier, Firmine Richard & Danielle Darrieux.

35. Topo Gigio.

[dajoki]

36. Anne Parillaud

:wow:

[mitchum]

37. Isabelle Adjani!

luscious

[Bucky]

38. That cat that Pepe LePew thinks is a skunk whenever paint spills on her

HI-larious!!

[Homer Wells]

39. Anouk Aimee

from the 60's movie "Un Homme et Un Femme" (A man and a Woman)

[blonndee]

40. Ooh, Sophie Marceau.

Yummy. One of my first girl crushes when I saw her in Braveheart. She was ethereal.

[6000eliot]

42. Bardot got fucking nuts in her dotage

Give me Amelie any day.

[Radical Activist]

43. Ludivine Sagnier

[StellaBlue]

44. She looks very British in that second photo

nt

[Radical Activist]

45. Oh, please don't insult her

;) She is very much French.
