Complete Top 10: Most Magnificent Man-Eaters
Columbia Pictures/ZUMApress.com
Let's hear it for my commentators, those helping me finish this latest Incomplete Top 10. Angela Murray has a damn great point. What about Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female? Well, here's why I didn't pick her: There's that whole backstory about the dead twin. I prefer the man-eaters who are more about four-inch heels than four-inch files of DSM-IV analysis.
Now, everyone who vied for Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions, come get some respect. She's awesome and vicious and horny as can be in Intentions. But she fails to seduce her own stepbrother, and when her whole little cocaine-in-the-cross trick is exposed, she doesn't even try to bat her eyelashes at the principal. She just takes the heat. A real hellcat goes down clawing for more.
Which bring us to Linda Fiorentino, who is hands down (and perhaps tied together) the zestiest onscreen man-eater of all, thanks to her unforgettable work in The Last Seduction. Raenn, you win. Gregor, you are right. She does "make everyone else on the list look like Girl Scouts." I don't know how I left her off the list. Maybe I am just jealous of her skills. Yeah, that's it.
P.S.: J.J., you're funny. Anne Hathaway in Brokeback Mountain. Love it.
