Madonna Movies!

[The_Unknown]

I dig Madonna's music with the exception of her latest turd of an album. I think she's a talented singer/performer but I and the rest of the world knows..... she can't act.

I've seen some of her films and I can confirm that yes, she can not act. I feel bad saying that but its true. She never emotes and delivers lines in a british accent on and off.

So yeah, they should add a few of her films like Swept Away or Body of Evidence on this site. Both movies I think are camp classics since I've seen them both!

So what do you guys think? Will she ever be in a really good movie and act well in it? Have any of you seen any of her movies?

The only acting Madonna has ever done that I've liked was her short roll in the commercial/movie called "Star." It was made by BMW films, part of a series of commercial/movies called "The Hire." I believe you can still buy the entire set on DVD from BMW's website. The DVD is fantastic, and it only costs $4 or $5.

I like "Who's That Girl".



Don't ask me why, I just do.

i love maddona, i go to every concert she does whenever she comes to my country and she is amazing,as a singe she is not great , she its not the best one, she is not even the best dancer, she is not the most beauty but she has something that makes her unic. anyway.................... as actress..........she is horrible, i dont know why does she keeps trying it, maybe if she would decide to go to acting classes, it would be a different story,but ,no, i dont think she will ever get it, a pity

[Kory]

She did alright in "A League of their Own"... but it's because she played a dirty slut-  didn't have to act much!

I only enjoy her earlier films because back then nobody was expected to act in films like that. ("desperately seeking susan" was better than "Who's that girl" even because her animated character was a little over the top in the latter..altho it had its funny moments) Popcorn flicks she shoulda stuck to, I can't stand watching her trying to be legit

[The_Unknown]

I liked her in Who's That Girl?, The movie wasn't good or great. But it was in a campy way. :p


I think she even publicly admitted she hated that movie.

[ED]

Ditto,
I am not sure why but its a fun movie.

Nurse: "What's your husbands name?"
madonna: "Louden"
Nurse: "louden what?"
Madonna: "clear"

I thought she was okay in DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN and A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN.  But she will never be what I would call a "good actor."  I like a few of her songs, but most of her music is teeny-bopper, bubble-gum stuff.

[Susan]

Well burgo i wouldn't ever say she's a good actor..she's an 80's bubble gum actor. Fun to watch in a brainless movie.  Didn't she have a bit appearance in "Vision quest" or something singing? Would be interesting if there was a list of singers who appeared in movies before they were famous or known for their music

One song that stuck with me over the years she did for a movie is ..'tale to tell" - you don't hear it on the radio but it always makes me remember the chilling "At Close Range" movie.

[The Burgomaster]

Susan:

Yes . . . she was in VISION QUEST.  I believe she sang "Gambler" and "Crazy for You."

When I read the title of this thread I immediately thought of "Who's that Girl"  

I can't explain why I like this movie, but I just do.  But I am happy to see that I am not alone.

One might also try Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy." I remember her as being fairly good in that one. Maybe, because it is a bit of typecasting, as she plays a nightclub singer and gets to sing a song or two.
