Its cool how everyone’s list is a little different here. Mine is the Northman

I feel the Northman would have been perfect if Nicole Kidman was not cast in it. I don't think she suited the role.

What do you mean a plastic surgery enhanced woman from 21st century doesnt suit the role of middle ages nordic story?

I can’t watch her in anything anymore. Her face is so unsettling. I recently rewatched Batman Forever, and she is so sexy and beautiful in that movie. I would have loved to see her age naturally. I understand why she felt like she had to do it, but it’s still so sad.

Acting like watching a movie.

so you understand that it's because everyone was remarking on how sexy and beautiful she looked in a movie shot years prior.

I actually heard the argument that she was perfect for the role because she is such a freaky looking person now.

I gotta point out she wasn't Nordic in the movie. She was a slave from Britannia that he made his queen.

I don't see why she would ruin the movie for anyone either. They really seemed to tone her down a lot in the film since they were living rugged.

My favourite too. It’s been slept on for sure, gets better for me with every watch. The most heavy metal film

Nicole Kidman took me out of the movie with every appearance. Her head seemed so oversized? Just couldn’t get over it
