Elisabeth Shue: movie crush!


Did anyone else find her CRAZY attractive in this role? I already think she is very sexy anyway but her vulnerability while playing this role just took it to a whole other level. Anyone else agree?

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room!

Fell in love with Elisabeth in this film. I personally believe her portrayal of Sera is the single greatest performance by a female in film... and I've seen every single winner of the Oscar for Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress. The best single moment where she was most beautiful was the one where she's at home wearing that black blouse and watching Ben wake up. I've rarely "gasped" at anything in movies... but she left me unable to breathe, even move, in that moment.

Yeah, I was in middle school when this came out. So she blew my mind.
