The film blogosphere has another meme going around, this time started by Nathaniel R. of Film Experience<\/a>, who has called for bloggers to celebrate twenty of their favorite actresses. No one’s tagged me, but that never stopped me before! So many actresses are worthy to be on a list like this, but in the end, I went with the actresses that can sell me on a film – the ones I’ll see in anything, just because they’re in it. Oh, and the level of my girl-crush on them is factored in as well. ;)<\/p>\n

I originally wrote a paragraph about each actress (like Arbogast<\/a> did in his very informative take on the meme), but opted instead for a more minimalist approach. If you want more info on the actresses or why I love them, let me know.<\/p>\n
