The Master (2012)
Peggy: And this is where we are at. At the lowest level. To have to explain ourselves, for what? For what we do, we have to grovel? The only way to defend ourselves is to attack. If we don't do that we will lose every battle that we are engaged in. We will *never* dominate our environment the way we should unless we attack! And the city, city's just noise. I know the city. I know its rotten secrets, its filthy lies and secrets. They... invited us here and welcomed us. Only to throw us down. And kick us out. It's a grim joke.
A happy 50 to the great Amy Adams today! I very much hope that Nightbitch, her upcoming movie with the magnificent Marielle Heller, is Marielle Heller's fourth straight masterpiece. And if it gets Amy her long overdue Oscar that'd be even sweller, although I feel as if the whole "female werewolf movie called Nightbitch" thing might limit its Oscar chances. But crazier things have happened! And we'll know how it's being received in just a couple weeks since it's premiering at TIFF on September 7th. (And then it hits theaters on December 6th.) Tell me in the comments -- What's your favorite Amy Adams performance? (Just don't say Hillbilly Elegy. We're pretending that doesn't exist.)

Junebug will always be my fave performance of hers. That hospital scene brings me to tears every time. Drop Dead Gorgeous was a hilarious intro to her magic. Runners up for me would be Enchanted and American Hustle
Junebug,The Fighter,Arrival and Nocturnal Animals
singing the Happy Working Song at the Oscars...with no production value--just her with a spot in the middle of the stage, while all the other performances were insanely over the top. balls of steel.
junebug, enchanted, arrival
Sharp Objects
That one episode of Buffy. J/k
She's magic in Junebug. Enchanted as well.
Then she's been consistent though never that impressive again? I like her in Doubt, a role that suits her, and The Master, a role that doesn't.
And yes, shawnp, I remember when the Academy did her dirty with that Happy Working Song. She wasn't even that famous, they just threw her there to sing a silly song. Mad respect.
Arrival
Enchanted
The Master
Her
American Hustle
Man of Steel
On The Road
Catch Me If You Can
