She's always been one of my favorites and probably has had as much of an effect on me getting into movies as much as I am as any actor. She's outstanding and always highly watchable. JA (love the nod to Dead Again) and Joe list their 5 favorite Thompson performances. I don't think I could get my list down to 5. Her work in Howards End, Angels in America, and as Sybil Trelawney (I love her in comedy) would make my list. But beyond that I don't know how to choose between Remains of the Day, Sense and Sensibility, Dead Again, The Tall Guy, Cheers, In the Name of the Father, Much Ado About Nothing, Peter's Friends, Impromptu, Primary Colors ... Well, I guess I'd go with Sense and Sensibility and In the Name of the Father. But I really appreciate so much of her work, even if it's a tiny point in a small role. She is a great actress - and I can't wait to see what she does with Lady Marchmain.
