Greatest Actresses Of All Time?

[lemonade]

Who do you think are amongst the greatest actresses of all time?

I'm kind of fishing for reccomendations in this topic, as when people ask me who are my favourite actors (meaning both male and female), I usually only respond with males. If possible, could you also include their best film(s), so I can check it out.

Thanks

Well call me cliche but I look no furthur than Judy Dench.
Film?- IMDB her and start your way down the list. She does have some stinkers in their film wise, but I garentee you she did her part well regardless. Captivating.


I know many on here are big Hilary Swank performance whores (myself incl)
'Boys Dont Cry' is the obvious, 'Million Dollar Baby' etc

Julie Walters and Bette Davis are both superb.

Meryl Streep without a doubt.

kathy burke - nil by mouth, kevin and perry go large. i know kevin an perry is silly but, as woman playing an idiot teenage boy she was simply brilliant. her performance in nil by mouth was so real, she reminded me of my mother back in the 70s.

Some of my faves (besides the aforementioned Meryl Streep):

Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth; I'm Not There)
Kate Winslet (Sense & Sensibility; Finding Neverland)
Helen Mirren (Gosford Park; The Queen)
Patricia Clarkson (The Station Agent; Pieces Of April)
Julianne Moore (Boogie Nights; Far From Heaven)
