  1. I didn't take into account cameos and movies where she's less than a secondary character (Bloodhounds of Broadway/Four Rooms).

    What's your ranking ?

    1. Desperately Seeking Susan

    She's just not only good in it but the movie itself is a classic.
    On top of it all it was directed by a woman, written by a woman, produced by two women and the two leads are women.
    2. Truth or dare in bed with Madonna
    The reason why i did not put it at #1 it's because she's not acting in it. Cult classic.
    3. Who's that girl ?
    She's good in it in retrospect. She's playful, she's witty and her lines are not delivered flatly.
    The editing is bad, the screenplay is poor, too much screen time given to secondary characters we don't care about (the Worthingtons, Wendy and the wedding). I love her clothes, very American Apparel especially the polka dots legging with the tutu and black vinyl bodice.
    4. A league of their own
    This one i a cult classic in the US but not around the world (the Janet Jackson of movies ^^) it's a good one though and she's pretty in it as a brunette.
    5. Dick Tracy
    An action movie without action. It's pretty beautiful though. She's good in it but does not have much to play anyway.
    She lights up the screen and the songs are nice.
    6. Evita
    Madonna is very good in it but the movie is boring especially if like me you don't like musicals, Llyod Webber & Rice and dictators.
    7. Snake Eyes
    Super boring and dragging for too long but she's very very good in it.
    8. Shangaï Surprise
    Nice to see her being so pretty but the movie goes nowhere.
    9. Body of evidence
    I don't like it. I don't like her in it, the movie looks made for tv. It damaged her more than SEX.
    10. Swept away
    She looks awful in it. Boring movie too
    11. The next best thing
    Shoud have gone on tour instead. She looks awful in it and the movie is borderline homophobic.
    Save the scene with her tits in the mirror.
  2. About people not dancing, i know that each time i attended a Madonna show i was paralyzed by all that was happening on stage and fearing to miss something if i moved a toe. Because there's always 2 or 5 things happenning at the same time. That's why i always go twice (at least). One night i dance and sing, one night i watch mesmerized.

  3. i'm glad there's less dancing and more singing because that's what i want. I'm so over choreos, it's ok, she did them many many times and over and now i'm more than fine she's focusing on her voice and the emotion rather than some "Show off" choreos because that's what they felt to me on MDNA "look what i can do".

  4. It's my favourite M live experience. She was right in front of me for Sorry& Like a virgin & Lucky star. I remember the sound of the horses hooves being beating the ground being very loud. Her energy does not translate right on the dvd. Let it will be was incredible. The cross was really impressive live because it was taller and bigger than i expected it to be.

    But i enjoyed Sticky and sweet 2009. I hated it in 2008 when i saw it in Nice but absolutely loved it the next year in Bercy (where i saw all her tours since blond ambition).

    I truly believe Madonna is best enjoyed in an arena. Stadiums in general are a nightmare. I'm a bit off topic sorry.

  5. My bet is Bercy too since they remade it and the new arena is set to open this month with a (controversial) new name "AccordHotels Aren POPB", ugly isn't it ? (Bercy came from the name of the village it's built on and no longer exists, it's part of Paris now).

    The new arena exteriors
