Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I agree with you on that one

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

In my opinion the best movie she appeared in was Blue velvet and her best performances for me were in Wild at heart and Rambling Rose.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I am with you it is the best profomace of all time for any one, that is just what I think

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Yes, the best movie she has starred in is definitely Blue Velvet. BUT, if the real question is, what is her best performance, my absolute answer is Rambling Rose. If you've never seen it, you'll be a fan for life after you do (even if you're not a teenage boy)

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

My favorite Laura Dern movie? Smooth TalkProbably the best first leading performance from any actress

The Best Laura De5b4rn movie/performance? Tie between Rambling Rose and Citizen RuthWho knew that Laura could deliver in the comedy category

I always thought it was a shame that Laura was never cast in at least one romantic comedy (a la When Harry Met Sally) or a musicalI think she probably has a great voiceI read somewhere that she sang at her mother's wedding a few years back

Love LauraCan't wait until INLAND EMPIRE

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Best movie is Rambling Rose, but Citizen Ruth, Afterburn & Smooth Talk are very close seconds:)

As much as I love the smaller, independent films she's been in, its gotta be Jurassic Park!! Freakin' dinosaurs!can't beat 'em.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I've seen only four, but Citizen Ruth is the best by far. Something about the way she played this was so real, and every person showed a human side. Swoozies facial expressions at Ruth's uncaring attitude were priceless. Since this post, I have seen five more, "Afterburn" I call 2nd best, and "Damaged Care" as No. 3. The others was "We Don't Live Here Anymore", which I would place at the very bottom along with "Daddy and Them" but "Focus" was ok. I'm still hitting video places for "Rambling Rose", "Baby Dance", and "Smooth Talk". No luck so far.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

i haven't seen all of them, but i think "October Sky" could be the best.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Jurassic Park

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Rambling Rose. Her orgasm did it for me (even though who she was doing it with was illegal).

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

i don't see how you people can saying jurassic park. she was absolutely horrible in it. thats the only thing i'd change about the movieremove Laura Dern from it. Not saying i don't like her. her performance was just really bad in it.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Jurassic Park

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I loved her in Smooth Talk but I HATED the way that movie ended. I loved her in Citizen Ruth and I am Sam also.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Definitely "Rambling Rose."

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Yeah I agree "Rambling Rose" although "Citizen Ruth" is close.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I haven't seen many of her movies unfortunately but I loved 'I am Sam' and 'Happy Endings'.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

About the ending.do we know for sure that she was raped? I could never figure out when Arnold said "you came for a ride today and that's what happened" if the "that's" was sex or a ride, meaning she was worried for nothing. Also, wouldn't she be more upset if she had been raped? "I don't want to see you here ever again, understand?" seemed kind of unemotional, unless she was in shock.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Inland Empire or Blue Velvet.

I am absolutely shocked that nobody here has mentioned A PERFECT WORLD.



How do you like that piece of satire?

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

"Welcome to Jurassic Park!"

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Jurassic Park!!!!

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

If David Lynch gets to direct Dern she is briliant.But she's good in every movie, i like Rambling Rose and Mask alot. She has to do more commedy tough.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I really disliked her because of Jurassic Park role but after I saw Wild at Heart.boom!

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

I would have given her best actress for wild at heartor at least nominated her. I think that's her best so far but she's awesome in everything she does (blue velvet, rambling rose, we don't live here anymore, etc) I hear she's absolutely incredible in INLAND EMPIRE. Lynch seems to know how to work with her and even said that he thinks she is the greatest actress working, or at least his favorite. So, yay

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Ramblin' Rose was a great part and working with Robert Duvall was a bonus but I'll give my vote to Lynch's *Blue Velvet*.
As with most Lynch films we have a decent into madness that starts off so sweetly innocent and in the case of casting Laura she made the character work.

The quintessential American "girl next door" she was perfect for the part.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

She is amazing in Happy Endings such a sweet, subtle performance a 5b4truly supporting role in a great ensemble.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

It simply has to be Jurassic Park.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Thanks to her in Jurassic Park, i only carry by bookbag on one shoulder. Its odd since she was seen carrying that red bookbag in about two shots, but it was so cool to me then.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Jurassic Park.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

Jurassic Park is great fun but in terms of performance it doesn't even begin to show the depth, range and power Laura Dern is capable of as an actress.

Smooth Talk, Rambling Rose, Afterburn, Citizen Ruth and We Don't Live Here Anymore are all truly bravura performances. Inland Empire sounds great too. Dern is a real gem among trash in today's cinematic climate.

Re: Best Laura Dern-All American Girl

Yes, in "Blue Velvet", she really got down that American 'girl-next-door' archetype. The fact that the actress and her character in this movie are intelligent he5b4lps even more. Her character presents a cinematic counterpoint to the madness of Isabella Rossellini's character.

Re: Best Laura Dern-movie?

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think Smooth Talk may actually be my favourite Laura Dern movie too. The chemistry she had with the equally excellent and underrated Treat Williams there was sublime. It's possibly the best performance she's ever given, and that's saying a lot.
