[QUOTE="DharmaMember77"]Basically which actor and actress do you feel has starred in more memorable movies in the past 12 years than any other?
Actor- Philip Seymour Hoffman
Actress- A tie between Juliette Binoche and Laura Linney
[/QUOTE] I happened to watch [i]Mystic River[/i] this morning, and I didn't see anything noteworthy in Laura Linney's performance. Am I missing something? Now, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Marcia Gay Hardin were all excellent, however. And I'm curious: Why Juliette Binoche?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

he really did though - one great film/perfromance (Bad Lieutenant), two very good ones (The Weather Man, Adaptation), a bunch of entertaining stuff, and some of the most hilariously bad films of all time (Next!)

I don't think they really gave Linney much to do in Mystic River compared to all of the other actors in it so while it was a notable film in her career its not really the best showcase for her talent.
But if you look at the rest of her filmography from the 2000's: You Can Count on Me, The Squid and the Whale, The House of Mirth, Kinsey, The Savages etc. You can see why I put her up there.
As for Binoche she has worked with some of the greatest modern directors such as Haneke, Assayas, Hsiao-Hsien, and Kiarostami how could you not put her up there?

I ask because I'm not a film buff.
I took a look at her filmography and saw Chocolat and a bunch of movies I've never heard of before. You make a good point about Linney's role in Mystic River. The most I had heard of Linney came from an interview for a USA Today article when her TV Show The Big C first aired, and then forgot about her. I'm not a TV buff, either . . .Intel Core i7-940 (2.93GHz, 8MB cache) | x2 Nvidia GeForce GTX460 in SLI | 6GB TriChannel DDR3 at 1066 MHZ (3x2GB DIMM) | 640GB - SATA-11 3GB/S, 7200RPM, 16MB of Cache | Windows 8 64-bit Pro | 1920 x 1080 Screen Resolution

Binoche is mostly an international actress (English Patient is probably the most notable american film she was in) so if you're not a film buff the chances of you hearing about her are slim.
