  • Femme Fatale  (1991)  (Colin Firth, Lisa Zane)
  • Lawrence of Arabia  (1962) (Peter O’Toole, Omar Shariff)
  • The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) (Jeff Daniels,Mia Farrow)

  • White Palace (1990)  (James Spader,Susan Sarandon)

Favourite filmstars: Gary Cooper,Clint Eastwood,Robert Redford,John Cusack,Johnny Depp,John Travolta,Tom Cruise,James Spader,Kevin Costner and Irene Dunne.Ah another potential list and not sure why few actresses feature as opposed to actors but Irene Dunne I’d rate as top of this top ten..above the actors!
