Happy 24th Birthday To Saoirse Ronan.
It’s good to see Ronan becoming really famous now. She was very good in Atonement, which was my March Blind Spot film (although I didn’t love the movie itself). And, of course, Lady Bird. It’s very impressive to have already been nominated for three Oscars at her age!
Well, I’m sure this is a top ten I’ll have to keep adding to as she makes more movies. So, for now & ranked by favorite film instead of performance, these are My Top Ten Saoirse Ronan Movies: (FYI – I’m including animated films she’s voiced, which is slightly cheating but allows me to include my beloved Studio Ghibli even though I prefer those without the English language dub) 😉
12. Justin And The Knights Of Valour
11. The Grand Budapest Hotel (amended to add this as I saw it after posting – it deserves to be in the top ten, I suppose, but I hated it)
TOP TEN:
10. Byzantium
9. City Of Ember (I don’t remember a damn thing about this but kind of hated Byzantium, so……)
8. I Could Never Be Your Woman
6. Atonement
5. Hanna
4. The Lovely Bones
3. Brooklyn
2. Lady Bird
1. Arrietty
Movies I’ve Not Seen:
The Christmas Miracle Of Jonathan Toomey, Death Defying Acts, The Way Back, Violet & Daisy, The Host, Lost River, Stockholm Pennsylvania, Weepah Way For Now, Loving Vincent, On Chesil Beach
I love Saoirse! I haven’t seen Arritty from your list. From what you haven’t seen, I loved her in Violet and Daisy and The Way Back. Of course she’s good in a few others too, but the movies themselves weren’t 😦
I think she’s a better actress than her movies. I mean, I haven’t loved many she’s been in. She’ll probably get more roles after Lady Bird, though. 🙂
She has been good in everything I’ve seen, especially Brooklyn and Lovely Bones. I totally approve of your Ghibli cheat as well. The Way Back is excellent and well worth a watch too.
Gotta cheat for Ghibli! 😉 Hmm – I’d not heard of The Way Back. Sounds interesting!
How is she only 24… and how have you not seen The Grand Budapest Hotel???
Well, I hate Wes Anderson….. 😉 😉
