My favourite female performances

This is something that is in constant, constant change - I'm watching movies all the time, and I do have a tendency towards watching stuff from my favourite actors or the so-called great ones in general.

But, for now, a top 10 for each sex - ladies first.

1. Elizabeth Taylor, Suddenly, Last Summer"Is that what love is? Using people? And maybe that's what hate is - not being able to use people."

2. Elizabeth Taylor, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
"I swear to God, George, if you even existed I'd divorce you."

3. Anne Bancroft, The Graduate
"The room number, Benjamin. I think you ought to tell me that."

4. Vivien Leigh, Gone with the Wind
"I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again. "

5. Ingrid Bergman, Gaslight"If I were not mad, I could have helped you. Whatever you had done, I could have pitied and protected you. But because I am mad, I hate you. Because I am mad, I have betrayed you. And because I'm mad, I'm rejoicing in my heart, without a shred of pity, without a shred of regret, watching you go with glory in my heart!"

6. Bibi Andersson, Persona“I wonder whether your madness isn't the worst kind. You act healthy, act it so well that everyone believes you - everyone except me, because I know how rotten you are.”

7. Jodie Foster, Taxi Driver"God, you're square"

8. Kate Winslet, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

"I'm lost! I'm scared! I feel like I'm disappearing! My skin is coming off, I’m getting old! Nothing makes any sense to me! Nothing makes any sense!”

9. Natalie Wood, Splendor in the Grass"I'm not spoiled! I'm not spoiled mom! I'm just as fresh and virginal like the day I was born, mom!"

10. Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s"The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of."
