HAVE YOU SEEN ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, SNOWPIERCER, OR A BIGGER SPLASH?!
Nope, but I am not like you and Knox and spend all my time watching movies (not saying that it's a bad thing). I will say this about her, she looks the part of everything I've seen her in. |

OLLA - Yes
Snowpiercer was never released in cinemas over here (but I will be buying it on bluray soon). But I know Tilda and Captain America are in it, along with quite a few other great character actors.
I bypassed A Bigger Splash, but may give it a go on your recommendation
SNOWPIERCER is super, super good. She's barely recognizable, and Chris Evans is utilized extremely well. Octavia Spencer (another one of my faves) is also in it.  A BIGGER SPLASH is a genuinely great adult drama. Swinton plays what's probably our closest thing to her being Bowie yet, and Ralph Fiennes is magnificent in it. It has some striking imagery too, such as this shot of our queen:  |

No, but your mention has given it much more prominence on my Netflix list! |

Great book too. I enjoyed the movie so much it made me go and read the book (and as we all know, black people have been banned from reading books ever since the introduction of a Parliamentary ruling in 1892) |

I'm actually blanking on what ruling you're referring to. Is that something in British history? |

It's a joke (I must remember that my absurd Monty Python style humour does not always work in written form on a forum  ) |

Don't worry. Even people in the UK don't know what I'm talking about (unless they're very very geeky and get my SOH). That's what makes me special And we all love ya for it! |

Points for Maureen Knox, I think it would have been more merciful (NTM Practical) on your part to have split actors/actresses into at least 3 groups apiece: American, British, Other (as American and British cinema preoccupies my viewing) or perhaps just split the lists as domestic and foreign. This would have made things interesting because not everyone has the same definition of 'domestic'.  |

This would have made things interesting because not everyone has the same definition of 'domestic'. I believe that's called "segregation" and we don't practice such things anymore!  And when have you ever known me to be merciful with these lists? |

And even you have to admit that the vast majority of actors/actresses on your lists come from one of our great nations. And a slight taste of mercy keeps the peons coming back. |

Hmm. You may have something there (we always need canon-fodder!) I also said it would have been practical. And even you have to admit that the vast majority of actors/actresses on your lists come from one of our great nations.
I may give this proposal some deeper thought... |
