Clooney was great as a hillbilly intellectual in 'Brother where are thou" Great music by Union Station in that movie also, Allison Krauss, Emmy Lou Harris, Gillian Welch, were fantastic in the songs they sang, Also Ry Cooder did a great job as Robert Johnson, but only on soundtrack.
Did you see Buena Vista Social Club?
Think you may have loved that?

Cooder has tapped into a lot of different styles, remember Talking Timbuktu ?
With the late great Ali Farka Toure?

Judi Dench is amazing. Others in this category include Maggie Smith (81 also) and Helen Mirren (70). Meryl Streep (66), too.
and I reckon Streep (66) just nicks it. She was amazing in the Iron Lady.
