Inspired by the following MSN article, I thought I would be interesting to see who CC considers the "most explosive female performances":

I agree with the author of the article on most of her picks. Particularly:

Angelina Jolie as Lisa in "Girl, Interrupted"
Kathy Bates as Anne Wilkes in "Misery"
Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in "Mommie Dearest"

Gosh, I found Million Dollar Baby incredibly boring and way to long. :(

Halle Berry in Loosing Isiah
Jodie Foster in The Accused
Oprah Winfrey in The Color Purple
Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry

Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry

She was amazing in that film. She was great in Million Dollar Baby, but more so in BDC.
