Juliette Lewis versus Winona Ryder. Who do you prefer and why?

What a funny pairing. I've never been able to stand either of them and I have no idea why.

Op who the fuck are you and why?

Winona.

^Because she has a wry, Gen-X quality and is gorgeous to look at. Lewis has that sucked-in face and coquettish manner. Yuck.

Winsome Winona.

Winona by about a thousand miles. Nevermind that she's a crazy narcissist/BPD shoplifter.

Juliette Lewis is a Scientologist. Immediate disqualification for anything, anywhere.

Juliette has always had a raw weirdness, which is cool except not cool as R6 points out, she’s a clam.

Winona.

She's just a kleptomaniac whereas Lewis is mentally retarded.

I wanna ride her

I’ve always liked Juliette Lewis better. She’s a better actress and doesn't seem as pretentious.

Winona

I think she’s a better actress than Juliette Lewis. Lewis is definitely better at comedy and she was amazing in Cape Fear (a drama) so she may be a little more versatile, but I still think Winona is a better actress overall.

And prettier

Plus, she steals!

I want to hang out with Winona and do crime!

Neither

Winona is a beautiful woman, and was once one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

I adore Juliette Lewis in Kalifornia. It’s also my favourite brad Pitt performance

I hate them both.

Winona.

Winona. Juliette always seems to be high.

[quote] Juliette Lewis is a Scientologist.

She reportedly left it.

Winona. I recall her fondly from back in the day when Johnny knew how to pick ‘em.

Winona but a weird comparison in my book.

I remember Winona as being in all those 90s movies where she’s sulky about nothing

There is something truly lovable Winona. Something so eerily familiar but also surely fascinating. I think it’s because her characters always seem to be on the verge of going nuts while also being seemingly normal. And this is a layer she adds to the characters not necessarily how they are written. I truly heart this woman for life.

Similar roles? Lousy thread set up.

Tori Spelling versus Rebecca Romijn versus Gwyneth Paltrow versus Portia de Rossi. Who do you prefer and why? All started about the same time, and are usually blonde. Similar roles. Well?

Winona would never have worn cornrows to the Oscars.

Winona had peak Johnny.

Juliette had peak Pitt.

Juliette is a Whack-A-Doodle and a 'Tologist for most of her life; she's made a few out-there vids. Meanwhile Winona is just a bit wacky but is a viable, working actress who has made a pretty stellar comeback, despite being stealy and having a possible pill issue.

Winona Forever.

Juliette is a clam and an airhead.

Juliette Lewis is extremely homely, She's a good actress, but she has a limited range.

Winona Ryder was and is still a great beauty. She's not a great actress, but she was a genuine star.

Ryder, because of the two untalented cunts at least she's not a Clam like Juliette "I Just Puked" Lewis

I can't get behind the scientology for Juliette Lewis. Even if someone leaves, I still see them as weak

Winona. I can just see us getting fucked up on Xanax and going to the mall and having a blast.

Winona because of Beetlejuice.

Juliette looks like she’s chewing on her tongue when she talks.

"Security!! Winona just stole my part!"

Why not both? Your crunchy best friend, who just happens to have good taste in 5 finger discounts.

The only movie I've been able to watch all the way through in one setting with Juliette was "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation". That is literally the only movie I have seen her in in which she doesn't look like its been a week since she's bathed. And the only one where she didn't seem to be battling some severe mental issues with a tinge of coming across as mildly mentally retarded.

Even Lili Taylor can look attractive when made up and dressed right, but Juliette Lewis basically looks like Mel Cooley in drag.

Together in "The Darwin Awards" (2006). Anyone see that? I'll take Joseph Fiennes over either of them...

I guess "The Darwin Awards" was Ryder's only chance to work with Fiennes after Goop stole "Shakespeare in Love" from her.

BFFs?

Wow Juliette has much less milage on her face in 2006.

That’s like asking who’s better looking, Jonah Hill or Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Unpopular opinion here, but Winona has no range and has always been the weakest actor in the prestige projects her prettiness gained her. Juliette is a weirdo, but she's a better actor and I bet she's nicer, having sort of met her once.

There's something creepy about Juliette Lewis. Her dad had the same creepiness but he was talented.

I met Juliette twice after her gigs in rock clubs in Switzerland. She is pleasant and no bullshit.

Definitely Lewis.

I prefer Lewis but they both have done some great work.
