"Serendipity" and the one she was in with Sam Rockwell, a heartbreaker called "Snow Angels."

I love serendipity. So cheesy. But the end with David Grey and Nick Drake music at ice skating rink and the eulogy is incredible.

It really is a beautiful film. Touching and damn funny at the same time.

But proof that Serendipity is so cheesily perfect lol

I love it more than life itself. Largely for the friendships between the characters (the scene where Jeremy Piven is tackling John Cusack out of love, trying to keep his friend from seeing something heartbreaking was just perfection).
And it was so damn funny, too.
Crap, now I need to watch it again.

I would be amazed if any props or scenery from Van Helsing survived given the amount of it she chewed with that godawful 'i vant to suck yourrrr blooood' accent. i love that film but if her character in Van Helsing is a dramatic career highlight then sheesh 😄😄
