Either Amy Adams or Emily Deschanel would be totally charming in the role, I think.
If you wanted a Doris Day type blonde, then either Reese Witherspoon or Elizabeth Banks.
Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ooh Amy Adams.

I think they fall too far to the prim & prissy and crude, just-one-of-the-guys sides of the spectrum, respectively. You'd need someone who's a motivated go-getter, but neither prudish nor low-class.
I think I have to second Amy Adams, she might have just the sort of persona that would fit.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
She wasn't the right age then, but Sarah Chalke would be a good choice if they were making it now.

If you were going to choose a movie as a candidate for 'one of the all time greats' that would be widely recognized and agreed on, what would it be? Not the best movie of all time, but a movie you could get widespread agreement would be a candidate for that (with some people of course considering it the best, but the idea is that almost everyone would consider it one of the greats.) For example, maybe Casablanca?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For example, maybe Casablanca?
Certainly an "all-time great."
Others might include: The Third Man, The Godfather, Sunset Boulevard, Wings of Desire (I'm trying to take one from every decade)...

She's the wrong physical type altogether for this role, but I love Minnie Driver.

Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, and Lawrence of Arabia tend to make a lot of people's all-time lists too.
Dr. Zhivago is one of my favorite epic movies, but it seems to have fallen off people's radar in recent years.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't believe I'm the first to mention Citizen Kane.
