dilipchandra12, terrific and informative hub. I had the pleasure of meeting three of the actresses on the list (I will not mention which ones) and each of them was very gracious, and they were even more lovely in person than they are on screen.

This is my top 10 list & in my top 10 list if you look with care and attention that NUMBER 9 & 10 have many movies, I picked all of these movies with very care , i picked top 10 movies of each year and I compared them with each other,

The top 10 movies movies list which I presented is better according to my opinion, because this list has every kind of movie , romantic, art and social drama, old historic, epic, science fiction, action, suspense, adventure, war, court room drama, comedy etc.

Please tell your comment about my top movies list from 1991 to 2000.

all of the actresses mentioned in the list are very very outstanding actress, but according to me, "Julia Roberts" and "Meryl Streep" are better actresses than the other actresses. These are the all time top calss acresses with some other old era actresses, catherine zeta jones and cate blanchet are missing from the list.

Cate blanchet,natalie portman,kate winslet,Marion cotillard, all those are top 10 actress, there's no way that drew barrymore and kate hudson are top 10 actress.
