Best Anjelica Huston Role

[bertha katzenengel]

I vote for Lily in "The Grifters." Oh. My. God.

"Get off the grift, Roy. You haven't got the stomach for it."

1. Morticia Addams

She was great in both of the Addams Family movies, and the casting of her in that role was brilliant! Her best role ever, IMHO. :)

On edit: I feel like we're continuing this conversation from another thread! ;)

2. Perfect delivery of all those great lines

I re-watched "Addams Family Values" last weekend, and she was amazing in that role.

"I want what every woman wants: a loving husband, children. But sometimes, I do wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join them on their hellish crusade."

"You've taken Fester away from his family, the people who love him, and I can forgive that. But Debbie, PASTELS?"

8. "Don't torture yourself, Gomez.

That's my job."

She was terrific in that film!

5. I'm not overly familiar with her work, but I love it when she works with Wes Anderson.

She was great in The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

6. Got my vote, too.

Though its one of those movies that is almost too painful to watch, for me.

7. Yes, I agree.

Although she was also very good in Prizzi's Honor.

10. My dear bertha...

Oh, how I agree!

"The Grifters" was amazing and extremely painful to watch...

14. Daughter of HUSTON? Lover of NICHOLSON? n/t

[bertha katzenengel]

15. Lover of Nicholson? God, I hope that's not true. I'd'a thunk my

idols would have better taste than that.

Yes, daughter of Huston.

16. Wha? You didn't know she & Jack got it on for a few years?

(We don't know if the sister was the mother or the mother was the sister.)
