    Critics Club II: 10 - Julia Roberts

    "Sir, yesterday you refused to vote in my thread. Big mistake... huge!"


    Julia Roberts



    Running concurrently with the Tom Cruise poll, this will also close on 07 August. Roberts represents the second of what will be a proportionately small amount of women in this series of threads, such is the scale that white male actors have dominated the industry. Roberts has long been one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses though despite being a relatively quiet presence.

    Vote for the movie you feel is their best whilst also discussing their other work, your reasons for voting and thoughts on what is their weakest.

    Some will have very long lists so some trimming will be required to focus on the key entries but broadly the main selection will be available each time.

    As always, there are a bunch of movies in here I haven't seen. And a bunch of movies I don't particularly care for either. But a few I really like. In the end, it was between Closer and Flatliners. Everyone knows Flatliners but Closer was one of those movies I genuinely didn't expect to like but really did. It's a little gem of a movie. But I went for Flatliners because it's the movie where Julia Roberts had such a strong presence that she really stood out to me in that. I haven't seen it in quite some time. Would love to go for a rewatch.

      Erin Brockovich hands down. The story was a big factor in the film's success but she nailed that role. I feel she enjoyed doing that role and wholly deserved that Oscar.

      Strange how the following year she was in one of the worst films I have paid to see (America's Sweethearts).

      Anyways, I can't think about her without thinking about that clip from Family guy

        I honestly don't know with this one. It's an mostly uninteresting list and she's mostly heavily uninteresting in the ones I've seen.
