Jennifer Connelly
 

Just wanted to make mention that its her birthday today (saw it on IMDB), as I'm a big fan of her. I've liked some of the roles she has done, but its more of just having a thing for her... in a non-stalker sort of way ;). She has had my vote for one of the best "girl next door" looks. :D :love: :randy:

If you haven't seen it, here's Jennifer on Inside the Actor's Studio:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5

She's smart, witty, sexy and frankly I'm considering stalking her :D

Seriously, I always love her performances even when she's not trying (Hulk) and I think she's developed some real acting chops over the years.

I finally saw Dark Water a few weeks back, which mostly sucked, but her performance in it was haunting.

Love me some Jen. I just recently watched Labyrinth, the first film I remember seeing her in...

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

I can't even count the number of times I've fallen in love with her...from Phenomena, Labyrinth, and The Rocketeer to Dark City, Mulholland Falls, A Beautiful Mind, and Requiem For A Dream...she's just such a natural beauty

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

As much as I love her as an actress, a part of me will never forgive her for getting a breast-reduction.

I'm just sayin'.


:(

Besides being incredibly beautiful and almost impossibly sexy, the girl can act and made the transition seamlessly from kid actor to teen starlet to serious actress. I fell for her when I saw her in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America and Jim Henson's Labyrinth back when I was fifteen or so. And it wasn't too weird to be ga-ga for a teenaged girl at the time because I was a teenaged boy at the time, in fact we're the same age. But when I saw her a few years later all grow'd up (and in all the right places) and nekkid in The Hot Spot, it quickly grew from a crush to out-and-out lust (luckily I wasn't wearing too-tight pants for this sudden growth). Career Opportunities is John Hughes lite, but since Jennifer parades around in a white tank top for 82 minutes it's difficult to find fault with it. And in The Rocketeer, though a Disney family-friendly comic book Serial romp, she's awfully sexy in those '30s period clothes. The mid '90s was a pretty fallow time in her career, but by the time the new century rolled around she had emerged as a very fine actress, as well as still being a stunning beauty. I found her fetching as the lost lover of Waking the Dead, and heartbreaking as a junky in Requiem for a Dream. So of course she was snubbed by the Academy for both of those and rewarded the following year for a competent but not terribly thrilling performance in a competent and not terribly thrilling movie which also managed to win Best Picture, A Beautiful Mind. And then two years later when she's fan-frippin'-tastic in House of Sand and Fog, she doesn't even get a nomination. Grumble.

So, yeah. I'm crazy about her. If she ever wants to cut that Paul Bettany dude loose, I do a lot of work with unwed mothers. You know, just helping them get their start.

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

Holden, you are The man. I was gonna mention Once Upon a Time in America as well as the first time I ever had the pleasure of seeing her as well. She has long been one of my absolute favorites and I will watch anything she's in simply to look at her. My wife hates her because I was stupid enough to tell her that she is the only Hollywood starlet that I would ever leave her for. And I agree, her not at least being nominated for House of Sand and Fog was pretty lame. Booooo! Hisssss!

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

**sigh** :) nice to know I'm not the only nut with a thing for her!
She really does bring something extra to every movie she's in. Beyond her hotness and all, she is quite the actress too.

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

She's pretty but I haven't seen any of her movies..

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

She was in the film!!!!! I downloaded Once Upon a Time in America a couple of days ago,but haven't yet got the time to see it.I would squeeze some time for the movie had I knew she was in it.
She's incrediblely beautiful,I love her performance in A beautiful Mind.

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

Just read this thread... I feel slightly dirty.


Ho Ho Gunslinger can have Jennifer and I'll console the heartbroken hubby when he does. Men who are crushed are so e-a-s-y.

Re: Jennifer Connelly
 

I think I have seen every movie she has been in, and I have several on DVD. My favorite Jennifer Connelly film is "Some Girls", but sadly, it isn't yet on DVD.
