michelle's best acting

[Catwoman]

 

[The Dark Knight]

The finale with Bruce and Max gets my vote.

Love her transformation scene, though.

I voted for the ball scene. It's not my favorite but I think it has the best acting. My favorite is the transformation scene.

I voted for the ball scene. It's not my favorite but I think it has the best acting. My favorite is the transformation scene.

I voted for the ball scene too.  I think the way she cracks up during her dance with Bruce is pretty powerful (i.e. "Who do you think you are?" "I don't know Bruce").

Still, my favourite overall aspects of Michelle's performance is when she's playing the nerdy, down-trodden Selina at the start of the film.  I'd happily watch an entire movie focusing on the pre-transformation Selina attempting to navigate a hostile Gotham City.

[The Dark Knight]

I think the way she cracks up during her dance with Bruce is pretty powerful (i.e. "Who do you think you are?" "I don't know Bruce").

Completely selling how far gone Selina really is.

I like the finale because how powerful it is. Bruce calming Selina down, before her lashing out and declaring this is no happy ending. That has always resonated with me, along with the corresponding Elfman cue. The way Selina begins shouting afterwards nailed there's no going back here. It's full steam ahead into oblivion. Top stuff.

My other favourite Michelle scene is where Max is bullying her prior to pushing her out of the window ("how can you be so mean to someone so meaningless?")

Like I said, I'd happily watch a whole film revolved around that version of Selina with everyone else, Max, Chip, the mayor, the Ice Princess, the mayor's cronies, and Max's image consultants treating her like crap.

I vote for the scene where she's being threatened with the electro-shock by the Penguin's thug. Shocked me as a kid and still quite alarming now in it's implied violence. It's incredible that we're watching "Catwoman" being assaulted here and Pfeiffer utterly sells the performance of her being just another meek, helpless victim. Thus making her later transformation all the more remarkable to watch.

Voted for the finale, though the other scenes are great too. I love Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman!

I do think she also played pre-transformation Selina really well and thus made her Catwoman persona all the more amazing to watch.

yessssss. so much of her sex appeal comes from what she was before. lol

On the topic, happy birthday, Michelle!
