She's in Out of Sight?

― Alex in SF, Friday, 13 March 2009 16:29 (sixteen years ago)

Probably between Being John Malkovich and 40 Year Old Virgin although she's almost always good.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 13 March 2009 16:30 (sixteen years ago)

she's in about last night???

She's Clooney's ex-girlfriend who was a magician's assistant. Has a great scene w/Luis Guzman.

I totally don't recall this scene at all.

― Alex in SF, Friday, 13 March 2009 16:32 (sixteen years ago)

I first saw her in Walking and Talking, and she amazed me then so that's the one I voted for.

― The Screaming Lobster of Challops (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 13 March 2009 16:34 (sixteen years ago)

besides seinfeld i first saw her in 'living in oblivion'. all i remember is that she had mad armpit hair.

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Friday, 13 March 2009 16:35 (sixteen years ago)

Love Catherine Keener, so many good roles, it's going to be a tough one!

I think I'm going with Being John Malkovich, but 40-year Old Virgin was a close second for me.

― Moodles, Friday, 13 March 2009 16:36 (sixteen years ago)

would not watch 'your friends & neighbors' again but i remember her being good in it.

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Friday, 13 March 2009 16:38 (sixteen years ago)

shes great

Lovely & Amazing (2001) .... Michelle Marks

looking at this list i realized i totally loved this movie

― °° × Þ°))·ΞЊ (Lamp), Friday, 13 March 2009 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

<3 <3 <3 her

i voted virgin just because i was glad she got a break from all the hard-edged sexy bitch roles (even though she's really good at those). i do love her in malkovich.

# An American Crime (2007) .... Gertrude Baniszewski

she is very good at being an unwatchable horrible human being in this

― bnw, Friday, 13 March 2009 16:44 (sixteen years ago)

An American Crime, Synecdoche or Malkovich.

― Someone Still Loves You Evan and Jaron (Tape Store), Friday, 13 March 2009 17:16 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, it's weird how Virgin feels like it's among the ones where she's doing the most challenging acting -- it's kind of a complicated character to pull off, and she does it wonderfully!

I'll probably be voting for a Holofcener movie, though -- those are great, and Keener's a huge part of it. (Like a Holofcener BFF/co-creative too, I think)

― nabisco, Friday, 13 March 2009 17:25 (sixteen years ago)

something really appealing about her in johnny suede. i like lisps

― cathlamet wa (jergins), Friday, 13 March 2009 17:28 (sixteen years ago)

Catherine Keener is one of the few women in the world that make me think, "Damn, she and I should be married."

― f f murray abraham (G00blar), Friday, 13 March 2009 17:43 (sixteen years ago)

Both Mr. Que and I ws.

― quincie, Friday, 13 March 2009 18:49 (sixteen years ago)

"Damn, she and I should be married."

you want to be married to a frosty bitch goddess?

seems like that's her forte anyway, and she's really great at it. gotta go with BJM here (agree 40YOV is the exception role)

― One of the Most High Profile Comedy Directors of the 90s (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 13 March 2009 18:58 (sixteen years ago)

I voted Virgin because I love that film and she's great in it. I lurve the scene with her and Jonah Hill.

― Say what you like Professor Words (Ned Trifle II), Friday, 13 March 2009 19:02 (sixteen years ago)

I love the scene in Lovely & Amazing with her and the old classmate she bumps into when trying to sell her twig chairs in that shop. In fact I love the whole twig chair thing.

― Alba, Friday, 13 March 2009 20:07 (sixteen years ago)

This thread has just inspired me to check out whatever happened to Tom DiCillo (Living in Oblivion, Box of Moon Light, The Real Blonde). Apparently he made a film called Delirious in 2006 that was never released over here. No Catherine Keener though. Anyone see it?

― Alba, Friday, 13 March 2009 20:11 (sixteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Thursday, 19 March 2009 00:01 (sixteen years ago)

Just saw and loved Hamlet 2, in which she was great as usual. But the character I remember most was in Into the Wild, where she tells the kid, "You've grown up very loved," or something.

― Pete Scholtes, Thursday, 19 March 2009 06:23 (sixteen years ago)

Love her. Voted "Living in Oblivion".

― Sacco, Vanzetti, Passantino... (Tom D.), Thursday, 19 March 2009 10:26 (sixteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
