I love this topic because I wish I were them haha.
I choose my favorite movie "Monster" and I think there would be "Chloe" too
I also like CHLOE very much. I like both Julianne Moore's and Amanda Seyfried's characters. I think CHLOE is very touching. At first, the character Chloe is presented as if she is a femme fatale, or a psychopath, like Glenn Close's character in FATAL ATTRACTION (1987, Adrian Lyne, A+). But the ending of the film proves that Chloe is a human being with a real heart. The film shows us that this character is not a mere villainess, but is as complicated as real human beings.
I also want to put many other films in this list, such as CHLOE, THE PIANO TEACHER, LIGHTS IN THE DUSK (2006, Aki Kaurismäki, A+), MISERY, IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES, etc, but I think I should limit the number of choices at 20 as usual. :-)
My own votes are for BAD COMPANY, BREMEN FREEDOM, LA CÉRÉMONIE, CONSCIENCE, HAPPINESS DWELLS IN CRIME, MASTER OF THE GAME, MUANG NAI MORK, PLEARNG PAI, PRAYING MANTIS, and QUEEN OF THE DAMNED.
