In honor of Julianne Moore's birthday today, let's go all list-manic.
Julianne earlier this week in NYC
This morning, realizing it was her birthday, I flashed back to our interview in 2010 and her responses to my feverish fandom "I've seen all your movies"...
My god, you've seen some junk then!"
So after the jump in her holiness's honor, my rankings of ALL her performances I have seen... some of which I barely remember at this point but what can you do. Plus, the ones I haven't seen. Plus, what's next (2012 could be a big year for her!) Plus questions for you. Plus. Plus. Plus.

Julianne on the set of "What Maisie Knew"Next Up For Julianne
Being Flynn -(supporting) This was previously known as Another Night in Suck City... Julianne plays Paul Dano's deceased mother in flashbacks. [Due in Spring 2012.]
Game Change - the TV film where she stars as Sarah Palin (previously discussed)
What Maisie Knew - (co-lead or supporting?) A drama about a young girl experiencing her parent's divorce. Julianne Moore plays the rock star mom. Rock star! This is from the directors of The Deep End (2001) so perhaps lightning will strike twice with brilliant redhead leading ladies? [Due sometime in 2012]
The English Teacher -(lead role) She's the title character in this film about a teacher and a star pupil who returns to town. This is from Craig Zisk who is best known for behind the scenes work on female centric television series like United States of Tara and The Big C. [Currently filming but possibly 2012]
The Seventh Son -(supporting) She reunites with her Big Lebowski co-star Jeff Bridges in this one as the malevolent witch Mother Malkin in a potential fantasy franchise from the Wardstone Chronicles / Last Apprentice books by Joseph Delaney. [Due in February 2013 but since it's a franchise hopeful, this could easily move to summer if the studio gets confident.]
And maybe that HBO pilot Dope (previously discussed though we haven't heard a peep about it since the summer)
