And that weird, tacked-on ending to Out of Sight, but it’d be okay if that was forgotten.

Another cool thing about this list is the women on it.

Ann-Margret
Maureen O’Sullivan
Rene Russo
Candice Bergen
Leigh Taylor-Young
Lee Grant
Pam Grier
Jennifer Lopez
Diane Lane

And a few more, but what really strikes me is the amount of great roles for women over thirty, over forty.

I’m looking forward to seeing Diane Lane in Killshot - even if it isn’t much like the book.

Harry Dean’s still going strong, currently steaming it up with many wives in HBO’s Big Love.
