  1. Pam Grier -- Roger Corman
    Film critic Roger Ebert, in his Movie Home Companion, referred to Pam Grier as "one of the most intriguing action stars of the 1970s." Though she continued to work in the ensuing decades, Grier established herself as a box-office draw in the "blaxploitation" genre, generally playing tough, sexy crimefighters. Vibe's Darius James--an expert on the genre--rhapsodized, "Grier reigned over the altars of adolescent onanism in a dangerous double-D cup like a black-skinned [Hindu religion deity of destruction] goddess Kali."
  2. Roger Vadim -- Brigitte Bardot
    Roger Vadim directs his ex-wife Brigitte Bardot once again in this conventional film about an innocent young woman, Genevieve (Bardot), who ends up on the losing side of a relationship with an alcoholic -- at least for awhile. Genevieve is a typical, introverted, middle-class woman who would like to be a homemaker and live relatively well. Instead, she goes to a small town to receive an inheritance, and by accident she walks into the wrong room in her hotel. And just in time. The alcoholic Renaud (Robert Hossein) who occupies the room has tried to kill himself with an overdose of sleeping pills. Genevieve saves his life, and the two soon strike up a dysfunctional relationship.

  4. Wet Hot American Summer -- Films
    A critical and commercial blockbuster Wet Hot American Summer was the highest grossing film of 2001, and received a coveted 108% on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert said that it was his favourite movie of all time and attempted suicide after realising there was no point going on, as he'd likely never see a better film. "Wet Hot", as it's come to be known by an unspecified group of people, is ... notable of being the only film ever to be nominated for Best Picture twice in the same year. Russell Crowe was not happy, but A Beautiful Mind sucked balls, anyway, so screw him.
  5. Crash (Movie) -- Movies
    Near the end, "Crash" feels a bit forced, a bit preachy. But it's never glib or self-important. And there's a wonderful moment of capricious grace that ends the movie on a note of optimism.
  6. Oprah Winfrey -- Stedman Graham
    Oprah has lived for as long as twenty years with her partner Stedman Graham, who is such a public non-entity rumors began to swirl about his sexual orientation. In the summer of 2006, that focus shifted to Oprah herself and her relationship with longtime close friend Gayle King. Oprah deflected it by claiming that if she were a lesbian, she would have been thrilled to tell her fans about it, but raised a few eyebrows by ... claiming she and Gayle were “closer” than lovers. Unbelievably, she once dated movie critic Roger Ebert. She also had a son at age 14, but he died in infancy.
  7. Field of Dreams -- Movie

  10. Roberto Benigni -- Buster Keaton
