Although, we did get to see Nicole Kidman completely naked, multiple times, in Eyes Wide Shut, so it wasn't a total loss (even if that movie sucked).

The Others is a good movie! A good, old-fashioned ghost story.

Everything else on subby's list is right, though. And you can even throw in The Golden Compass.

One only looks to look at the careers of el Nutjob's ex's.

Mimi Rogers
Nicole Kidman
Katie Holmes

I don't know... I liked Moulin Rouge.

Hasn't just being Tom Cruise ruined his career? How would marrying him help?

anyone who thinks that Eyes Wide Shut is anything less than a masterpiece is demonstrably retarded.

maybe she shouldnt have wrecked that face of hers, Meg Ryan style. I never understand that. You are massively hot and then you have a Kidman mask permanently etched over your cranium. Odd.

brigid_fitch: The Others is a good movie! A good, old-fashioned ghost story.

Yep. I had the good fortune of going to see it in a theater without having the slightest idea what it was about ahead of time. I loved it.

Beats the hell out of me, too. She was aging quite nicely, as was Meg Ryan. Then... wrong.

I farking love that movie. Also, it's a highly underrated experience to watch that movie on a plane or train or other form of long distance transportation on a laptop

She hasn't done much I've liked, but "To Die For" was an awesome movie.

I don't even consider myself that adroit at figuring out mysteries (I didn't work out the Sixth Sense until a couple of minutes before the reveal), but they telegraphed the punch so early in The Others that I really got bored waiting for it.

Eyes Wide Shut is possibly the worst movie ever made by a "respected" director and if you like it you are a film snob retard. The pacing, the story, the dialogue are insipid. and this is a movie with wall to wall bush.

I have yet to see EWS in its entirety in a single sitting, but I hardly think it is an awful movie.

However, as a human being, I think she has been permanently corrupted by the evil little tadger that is Tom Cruise's trouser badger.

Nicole Kidman was 1/2 of the awesomeness of Moulin Rouge. I forgive her for her faults because Moulin Rouge is just that awesome.

/Ewan is hot, so Nicole is probably like 40% of the awesomeness of Moulin Rouge.

Eyes Wide Shut is possibly the worst movie ever made by a "respected" director and if you like it you are a film snob retard. The pacing, the story, the dialogue are insipid. and this is a movie with wall to wall bush.

First: Spielberg made 1941, Coppola made The Godfather: Part III, Cimino made Heaven's Gate, and Lucas made prequels.

Second: Spartacus is easily Kubrick's worst movie. It's unwatchable.

Third: If you consider yourself a fan of Kubrick, you need to give EWS another viewing. The pacing is a little slower than A Clockwork Orange, but the two movies are pretty similar. If you liked Barry Lyndon, EWS should sate you just fine.

Eyes Wide Shut is a wonderful film.

Gamer Grrrl: Nicole Kidman was 1/2 of the awesomeness of Moulin Rouge. I forgive her for her faults because Moulin Rouge is just that awesome.

I'm sorry, but this is incorrect. Moulin Rouge was the worst piece of pretentious crap I've seen in the last 15 years. I wanted to go kick a small furry animal in the ribs after sitting through that abortion.

But, to reiterate the main point of this thread, Nicole Kidman is hot, I'd hit it, and Eyes Wide Shut was saved solely by her constant nakedness.

Talon: I don't know... I liked Moulin Rouge.

The Others was quite a good movie, and Kidman was good in it.

When are we supposed to believe anything you say?

brigid_fitch: The Others is a good movie! A good, old-fashioned ghost story.

Agreed

1) Eyes Wide Shut is pretty damn good - You have to think of it more as a piece of art - It is pretty amazing.

2) The Others - Is AWESOME. Not many people have seen it, but if you haven't you should.

3) Far and Away - Is actually a really good, epic movie, they dont really make that many movies on this scale anymore. And when they do - they bomb.

What exactly were the blockbust movies she did before Tom Cruise? Holy shiat! Did I just defend Tom???

/agree that The Others was pretty good.

I thought she was just fine in Moulin Rouge, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut, and The Hours. I also enjoyed Cold Mountain and The Golden Compass. However, she does seem to have a knack for picking really horrible movies like The Stepford Wives, Bewitched, and The Invasion.

I liked all of those movies. Could have done without Sean Penn in the Interpreter.

She made some great flicks:

The Golden Compass (2007) .... Mrs. Coulter (Scary Biatch)
The Interpreter (2005) .... Silvia Broome
Cold Mountain (2003) .... Ada Monroe (Very Good)
The Human Stain (2003) .... Faunia Farley
The Hours (2002) .... Virginia Woolf
The Others (2001) .... Grace Stewart
Moulin Rouge! (2001) .... Satine
Practical Magic (1998) .... Gillian Owens (I Loved her in it)
The Peacemaker (1997) .... Dr. Julia Kelly (EXCELLENT)
To Die For (1995) .... Suzanne Stone Maretto
My Life (1993/I) .... Gail Jones
Malice (1993) .... Tracy Kennsinger
Far and Away (1992) .... Shannon Christie
Days of Thunder (1990) .... Dr. Claire Lewicki (I liked it!)
