The best thing about Amy Adams is that she is sneaky hot.  Your wife/girlfriend doesn't feel threatened by her.  But if you're watching "Desperado" your wife/girlfriend will be convinced you are watching it just to see Salma Hayek in a tight dress (which probably is true, of course).

Amy Adams is a 7 on her best day.  yuck.

[MUBurrow]

Two of my personal favorites that haven't been mentioned are (1) Children of Men and (2) Blow. I know Blow is a bit cheesy, but its still a fun way to spend a couple hours. Also some great Pee-Wee Herman.

I respectfully disagree. Shes (exactly) 19 years older than me and I think she is one attractive lady.

Amy Adams is definitely has a girl next door look.  Man..... she is drop dead sexy when she is done up.  In American Hustle, she's a bombshell.  Sssssssssssizzzzzzzzzzzle on my wizzle .

If you don't think she's hot, you hate America.

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

On that chain, around her neck, is the key to heaven.

Uh...she's a Brit

[Spotcheck Billy]

Uh...she's a Brit

that's a relief because the previous post had me believing I hate America

Hate to say it, Keefe, but you are in error here.  Per IMDB:

Amy Lou Adams was born in Italy, to American parents Kathryn (Hicken) and Richard Kent Adams, while her father was a U.S. serviceman. She was raised in a Mormon family of seven children in Castle Rock, Colorado

Perhaps it was that fake accent in "American Hustle" that threw you off.

Uh, no.  She is not a Brit.

Dad was in U.S. military and she grew up a Mormon.  Sorry...........

Whoops, the Chick beat me to it.

Well done. I love me some Hitchcock. And Cool Hand Luke is one of my faves as well.

Not sure if you intentionally put Vertigo on there twice but it deserves to be listed twice.

Rear Window is also fantastic.

Just watched 12 angry men a couple weeks ago (the original). What a great movie.

Watched it in Sociology class my senior year in high school 3 years ago. Surprisingly loved it. Usually not a fan of old time films, but really loved that one.

Some great old time films your generation should check out.   Yes, I sound like an old codger saying that, but these predate my time, but they are great.

I stand corrected. Not sure why I thought she was a Brit but in any event I loved her work in Doubt.

IMO, one of Meryl's finest performances.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was also fantastic. Just a great, great, thought-provoking movie.

[Hards Alumni]

Uh...she's a Brit

actually born in Italy.

Still do not want.

[keefe]

Yea, born at Vicenza. I've spent time at Aviano. That's where those Jarhead Prowler guys clipped the Cavalese Gondola line and killed 20.

The Dolomite region is one of the most stunning places on God's earth. Amy Adams may be a 7 but the Dolomites are stunning.

[keefe]

IMO, one of Meryl's finest performances.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was also fantastic. Just a great, great, thought-provoking movie.

Every time I watch Doubt I come away with a different conclusion. As fantastic was Seymour Hoffman the most compelling character is Streep's. An incredible story.

either way, my point was that if you don't enjoy a fine ass honey like this, then you hate America.  Red meat, fast cars, hot women.  America.

I just don't find her to be hot.  Slightly above average, sure.

[Skatastrophy]

The most enjoyable movie I've seen recently is "Let the Right One In"

Lena Dunham is more your style,  aina?
