40. Nicole Kidman as Suzanne Stone Maretto 
      To Die For (1995)

When asked to describe Suzanne, her sister-in-law tries to show some restraint: “She’s a four-letter word starting with ‘c’. Yeah . . . cold.” She is indeed, but what makes Kidman’s aspiring anchorwoman so amazing to watch is that she can be frosty one minute and hot as hell the next. Kidman has never been sexier (check out that “Sweet Home Alabama” rain dance), so it makes sense that her poor dumb husband (Matt Dillon) and poor dumb lover (Joaquin Phoenix) never stand a chance.
