Tien comicfilms en -series met onvergetelijke acteurs

Soms heb je van die films waarin een acteur of actrice zo sterk aanwezig is, dat als je jaren later er aan terugdenkt je alleen nog maar dat speciale karakter kan herinneren. De website Mania.com heeft een prachtige lijst gemaakt, waarvan de nummer tien mijn favoriet is. Al is het alleen maar omdat mijn meesteres ook gek is van latex pakjes.

10. Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman, Batman Returns

No disrespect to Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar or Lee Meriweather, but Pfeiffer's turn as the Feline Fatale is extremely memorable because it was one that wasn't supposed to be convincing in any way to moviegoers. The general feeling on Pfeiffer at that time was that, although she was a talented actress as seen in Dangerous Liaisons and The Witches of Eastwyck, she's a blonde and not quite right for the role. (Ask Sean Young.) However, when Tim Burton's highly anticipated sequel to the '89 Batman was released to theaters, fans came away thinking most about Pfeiffer's work.

She turned many heads not only with the whip and leather (which became the toast of the of the convention communities at the time) but with her attitude and energy, going from mousy Selina to psychotic Catwoman. Even with the strange storyline of Selina's near dead body being bitten and resurrected by numerous felines, many women wanted to emulate her presence afterward. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Burton's second Bat-film stands up a bit better than the first.
