Who Are Your Favorite Female Actors???

Question

I know not everyone is going to share my views on this subject. I am also looking for actresses I may have over looked. I will revise my list if I get some great actresses brought to my attention that I forgot about. Being as how there are tons of awesome actresses I did my top 10 and then continued with another 10 for a top 20. Who are your favorites and what movies made you feel that way?

1. Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich)

2. Michelle Pfeiffer (Stardust)

3. Shirley MacLaine (Terms of Endearment)

4. Whoopi Goldberg (The Color Purple)

5. Halle Berry (Things We Lost in the Fire)

6. Diane Lane (Under the Tuscan Sun)

7. Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line)

8. Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor)

9. Keira Knightley (Pride and Prejudice)

10. Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd)

The next ten

11. Drew Barrymore (Riding in Cars with Boys)

12. Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada)

13. Angelina Jolie (Original Sin)

14. Queen Latifah (Last Holiday)

15. Kathy Bates (Fried Green Tomatoes)

16. Winona Ryder (Bram Stoker’s Dracula)

17. Ashley Judd (Double Jeopardy)

18. Sadra Bullock (The Lake House)

19. Julianne Moore (The Forgotten)

20. Kate Hudson (Raising Helen)

I know there are many missing. My mind is working slow and I know there are lot of actresses that probably don't deserve to be on this list. So no getting mad at me.
