My A-list Actresses

On deciding which movie to watch, I usually check first who the actor is and the character he'd play in the movie.

I get more excited if it is an adaptation from a book, comics, anime or inspired by certain cultural themes.

I usually like actors whom I have seen in their "still a nobody" phase then you kinda loved them as you follow their movies one after another, whether it is a box-office hit or not; whether they won an award for it or not.

I would like to share this time the list of movies that made the following actresses a favorite. I will try to limit them to five of the most remarkable flicks they've made which again I don't mind watching a million times.
