Penelope Cruz as Maria Elena (Vicky Cristina Barcelona): Spaniards are blunt (just watch any Almodovar flick where people trade insults like compliments), but Penelope takes it to stratospheric levels in this Woody Allen flick as Marielena, a firebrand artist with a talent for withering humiliation.

Signature line/scene: This exchange between her and her ex-husband’s (Javier Bardem, of course) new lover (Scarlett Johansson):

Marielena: “You speak no Spanish? Why?”

Cristina: “I studied Chinese.”

Marielana: “Why?”

Cristina: “I thought it sounded pretty.”

Marielena: “Say something in Chinese.”

Cristina: “Ni hao ma.”

Marielena: “You think that sounds pretty?”
