Happy Birthday to Helena Bonham Carter, who turns 50 today. 🙂
I’ll be honest – I’ve never paid that much attention to her work & I’ve not even seen her old period-drama-type films. So this Top Ten list will feel pretty incomplete (I’ve listed some big movies of hers that I’ve not seen at the end). I do respect her as an actress and like her zany style offscreen. I actually really liked her quite a lot in a very recent film (Suffragette) so I really should make an attempt to watch the remainder of her big films that I’ve not seen.
So, here are My Top Ten Helena Bonham Carter Movies (that I’ve seen so far) counting down to my favorite movie:
10. Planet Of The Apes
(Not saying this is good – I just liked the remainder even less)
9. Terminator Salvation
(Wow, I don’t remember this one)
8. Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events
(Apparently she had an uncredited cameo that I don’t recall but I thought this was a pretty decent movie)
7. Cinderella
(She was fun in this one)
6. Suffragette
(Loved her in this & liked the film far more than I was expecting)
5. The Harry Potter Movies
(I should really watch the final film one of these days)
4. Fight Club
(A defining role)
3. Corpse Bride
(Underrated)
2. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
(Love it)
1. Big Fish
(Athough, I badly need to re-watch this again sometime)
The Remainder That I’ve Seen:
Les Misérables (boring)
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (yuck)
Alice In Wonderland (hated it, so really not bothered about the sequel coming out tomorrow)
Some Of The Many That I’ve Not Seen:
A Room With A View
Hamlet
Howards End
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
Mighty Aphrodite
The King’s Speech
Dark Shadows
The Lone Ranger
Cinema Parrot Disco
