- Tiffany from Silver Linings Playbook. - Jovian Oct 3, 10:18 5
  - I'm sure if you asked 20 of your extended family, they'd say "never heard of that movie, but she was really good in Hunger Games." - nm - JaxSean Oct 3, 10:39 1
    - heh. I could ask them and 20 rando's off the street and they would all say that! - Jovian Oct 3, 10:40

  - To be fair, she was tremendous in this -- nm - rollo Oct 3, 10:12
- Katniss -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 10:08 1
  - Yep - but I think there's a very strong chance that'll change later in her career. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 3, 10:10
- my first thought was "room" which is bad for her. it's totally winter's bone. -- nm - amanda Oct 3, 10:07 1
  - Word. -- nm - budice Oct 3, 10:09

This "signature role" discussion reminds me of a recent Twitter question: How do you define an old movie. Or, what makes a movie old. - TWuG Oct 3, 09:57 2

  - But they're both roguish adventurers who have a big mouth and shoot from the hip. - Roger More Oct 3, 11:30
  - This is such a good point -- nm - zork Oct 3, 10:06

I truly don’t like that BP2 trailer. Spoils - Will Hunting Oct 3, 09:40 11

  - No. (spoilers) - oblique Oct 3, 10:53

    - See above. None of which are a physical threat. - Will Hunting Oct 3, 10:37

- I think Forrest Gump -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 09:37 1
  - True. That might edge out Big, even. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 09:40
- He's a tough one. IMDB has his shortlist as Castaway, Big, Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 3, 09:37 3
  - I think it's castaway. -- nm - Kellyanne Scrabblestats Oct 3, 09:56 1
    - tie goes to the one that came with gold hardware -- nm - rollo Oct 3, 09:57
  - I can't argue with that list - but you've had a career when one of your Oscars doesn't even make the shortlist. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 3, 09:54
An interesting subplot of the signature role debate is what IMDB says. There is one role when you search for their name and then 4 for "Known for". - Volnelk Oct 3, 09:29

- The Marauder's Map would have made Die Hard a much shorter movie. -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 09:31 1
  - "Mischief Managed, Motherfucker." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 3, 10:05
- Die Hard. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 09:25

Meryl Streep -- nm - zork Oct 3, 09:20 8
- My 1st thought is Mamma Mia!!!! -- nm - zunk takes things literally Oct 3, 09:51
- My mind said Devil Wears Prada. IMDB says Out of Africa. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 3, 09:33
- My mind went to Sophie's Choice, but, she may be the hardest one to do. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 09:31
- Oldman hasn't played Streep yet. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 09:24 2
  - (that we know of) -- nm - Spawn Oct 3, 09:30

        I am sick and tired of these m9therfvcking zorks on my motherfvcking plane -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 3, 11:51
        
        I am Spartacus! -- nm - zork Oct 3, 09:55 2
        
        I am Groot! -- nm - Groot Oct 3, 09:58 1
        
        *whispers* We replaced ST's Spawn with TWuG crystals. Let's see if they notice. -- nm - zork Oct 3, 10:08
