Here's my personal opinion on a few of Maggie's Films;

Curtain Call

With James Spader and Sir Michael Caine

Although this didn't exactly get rave reviews, this is my favourite Maggie film. It's basically the tale of a young man called Stevenson Lowe, who is off and on with his girlfriend Julia. He isn't sure what he wants while she is sure she wants marriage. Stevenson and Julia go to view a house and he buys it and moves in without Julia. The story is all about how he gets her back taking lessons from a pair of ghosts, the bickering theatrical spectors Lily Marlowe and Max Gale. The pair were a big hit throughout the early part of the 20th Century and have fallen out of love totally. Max had a string of lovers which Lily holds against him, and Max has never quite forgiven Lily for dying on him. The end scene is the most touching with Stevenson and Julia getting engaged and Lily and Max at a costume ball where they first met and where they both return to every year seperately. They dance and realise how much they love each other. Maggie's deliverance of the final line is a tearjerker:

Max: How could we forget how much we loved each other?

Lily: We didn't forget, we just looked the other way

Great Film!

Sister Act 1 and 2

With Whoopi Goldberg and Kathy Najimi

One for musical Lovers everywhere and Maggie is great as the stony Mother Superior of a convent of Rocking Nuns led by Whoopi Goldberg as Sister Mary-Clarence, not a nun, but a woman who witnessed a murder and goes to a convent as part of a witness protection scheme. The music is great and so is Maggie's Performance. It's a great family film although Number 2 in my opinion was a bit poor.

Harry Potter 1 and 2 and Gosford Park

With Miriam Margoyles, Daniel Radcliffe, Dame Helen Mirren and Dame Eileen Atkins and Stephen Fry.

No one else could really play Prof McGonagall in the Harry Potter Films. She is superbly portrayed by Maggie, with every acidic remark given the snappy edge it needs. It's a wonderful film with great effects and does the books credit. Dame Maggie as Constance, Countess of Trentham really holds this film together. There is a great cast including Dame Helen Mirren and Dame Eileen Atkins. It's a murder-mystery tale with some great moments, although Maggie steals the show providing the Comedy side of the whole affair. Her giggle is one to listen out for!
