But what caught my eye here was the actress playing the tyrannical proprietress of one of the eateries: the great Helen Mirren.
For decades, Helen Mirren has been very, VERY visible in films across all genres and qualities. Some of her roles are mainstream, some rather more daring, and some quite controversial. But whether she's wearing a crown, holding a gun, or both, she is always awesome, effortlessly switching from smoldering to icy within a second, if need be.
So once again I'm going to use ten close-ups of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images and guess which ten movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun. Try to see how far you get without using IMDb.
I'll post the answers next Thursday (or earlier if someone gets all ten of them right).
And here she is, as Madame Mallory, in The Hundred-Foot Journey.
