Britain's Fiennest Export
The first time I saw Ralph Fiennes on screen was in Schindler's List. Because his performance was so excellent, I took note of him, but didn't go all girly crush on him because he was playing a disgusting, violent Nazi. Â However, when Quiz Show was being promoted, I definitely sat up. Â I remember saying to my boyfriend, "Hmmm, that guy looks familiar. Â He's cute."
After Quiz Show came Strange Days, a movie I also loved (and still love a LOT), but it wasn't until The English Patient that I fell completely head over heels for Mr. Fiennes. Â Such a beautiful and tragic movie, I saw it twelve times in the movie theater after seeing it for the first time at its official premiere in Los Angeles.
While he has had a few fits, starts and false turns over the years (Maid in Manhattan, anyone?), overall, Ralph Fiennes delivers one amazing performance after another -- both on screen and on stage.

My Favorite Ralph Fiennes Movies on DVD
These are just a few of my top favorite Ralph Fiennes' movies, but there's at least half a dozen others I really love as well.
Spider on DVD
I love Cronenberg and I love Ralph Fiennes and this is an nice off-putting movie. Well worth a rental. Miranda Richardson was really terrific in it and there was something just creepy about the whole thing. Ralph does crazy well. He doesn't overplay the character.

The extras are worth a watch too since Cronenberg is a very entertaining guy and the background to how they got this movie off the ground is pretty interesting. All of them -- Cronenberg, Ralph, Miranda -- deferred their salaries for this movie in order to make it for approximately 8 million dollars.
