  • 48 - Maggie Smith Tribute
    Nov 18 2024

    Send us a text

    Last month, the film industry lost one of the most prolific actresses in history, Dame Maggie Smith.


    With a stage and screen career that spanned seven decades, it was nearly impossible to pick only three films to highlight Maggie Smith's outstanding career, but we did our best.


    • We start with Maggie Smith's Academy Award Winning performance as the enigmatic school teacher in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
    • We switch gears with one of the most revered comedies of the 1990s, where Smith dons a habit in Sister Act.
    • Finally, we discuss how tremendous she is in an ensemble piece in her Academy Award-nominated performance in Robert Altman's Gosford Park.


    Obviously, these three films are just scratching the surface of Dame Maggie Smith's career, so please let us know your favorite performance.

    With her breathtaking performance in The Substance taking the cinephile world by storm, there’s no better time to revisit some of the fantastic highlights of Demi Moore’s career.


    • We start with the supernatural romance classic Ghost, the film that helped make Moore one of the highest-paid actors of the 90s.
    • *AUDIENCE PICK*—Our wonderful audience selected the sensual thriller Indecent Proposal, in which Moore co-stars in a steamy love triangle with Robert Redford and Woody Harrelson.
    • Finally, Moore goes an extra mile (or a hundred) with a physical and emotional transformation in Ridley Scott’s G.I. Jane.


    Let us know what you think of these Demi Moore classics and what your favorite Moore performance is!
