Here it is, guys, the next big Interference Movie thread. In this one, you rank your 10 favorite (I cannot stress this enough) actors/actresses/directors in order. Like the last competition, a point value will be assigned to each spot (#1 gets 10 points, #2 gets 9, etc...). Also, next to each name, please put your favorite movie/role they've done.

With the last contest I was very lenient on the submission format, but please, to make this easier on me when I have to tally this all up, submit your list like this:

Top 10 Directors:
1. Steven Spielberg - Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Quentin Tarantino - Pulp Fiction
3. Wes Anderson - The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
4. Stanley Kubrick - A Clockwork Orange
5. James Cameron - Aliens
6. Joel and Ethan Coen - The Big Lebowski
7. Tim Burton - Ed Wood
8. Alfonso Cuarón - Children of Men
9. John Carpenter - Big Trouble in Little China
10. Christopher Guest - Waiting for Guffman

Top 10 Actors:
1. Bill Murray - Lost in Translation
2. Harrison Ford - Raiders of the Lost Ark

4. Christopher Walken - Pulp Fiction
5. Bruce Willis - Die Hard
6. Jack Nicholson - The Shining
7. Steve Martin - The Jerk
8. Samuel L. Jackson - Pulp Fiction
9. Clive Owen - Children of Men

Top 10 Actresses:
1. Natalie Portman - Garden State

3. Julianne Moore - Boogie Nights
4. Kate Winslet - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5. Charlize Theron - The Italian Job
6. Zooey Deschanel - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
7. Meryl Streep - Kramer vs. Kramer
8. Parker Posey - Best in Show
9. Winona Ryder - Edward Scissorhands
10. Rachel Weisz - The Constant Gardener

Remember, this is all for fun, and it's more fun with more lists and fun discussion. Like last time, you can re-submit your list if you're dissatisfied with your last one, just let me know which one you want to use beforehand.

The submission period will last until July 16th, 11:59 PM (ET). Mods, can you sticky this thread until then, please? Thank you.

Have fun everyone :wave:

No spoken words said:
I do it quickly then kick myself for forgetting films or actors.

I'm already kicking myself for forgetting Christopher Nolan. I'm switching Christopher Guest - Waiting... with Nolan - The Prestige.
 
I honestly don't think there are 10 acresses I like enough to make a reasonable list for them.
 
Are you seriously gonna get all feminazi on me just because women are generaly unspectacular actors?

Aw come on, man, there are great actresses out there, especially the ones already listed.
 
I'm just breaking balls. There just aren't that many actresses that really get my attention because of their skills. :shrug:
 
That being said, I do find the comment amusing, and wonder just what sort of films you watch that you can't name 10 actresses whose work you admire.

I had a harder time with my actresses list than actors list, too, but there are enough great actresses out there to make a 10 list.
 
Does it matter if we put the name of one film next to each person, or can you list multiple films next to each actor/director?

The idea is to find the one movie/role they're most known for, but you can put multiple movies if you like. I'll still only count the first one.

You guys can post more than 10 if you like, I'll just only count the Top 10.
 
But you'd have to deal with those wacky Wampa monsters fucking up your shit all of the time.
 
You don't know too much about Geidi Prime, apparently. House Harkonnen lives there. Not a good place to live. How to put things into perspective for you.....

Unicron once sauntered up to Geidi Prime, ready for a snack, took one good look at the place and decided he was not hungry.
