There are many that I like, but among them I truly admire Juliette Binoche.

I hope you didn't mean only those still among us. Anna Magnani above them all, then, in no particular order, Simone Signoret, Jeanne Moreau, Irene Papas, Sophia Loren (only in Italian films), Ingrid Bergman.
Of actresses who are no longer really working, Isabelle Adjani, Isabelle Huppert. If you include English actresses, I would add Vanessa Redgrave.
Of the more modern ones, Juliette Binoche would be in there, Marion Cotillard, Giovanna Mezzogiorno, Laura Morante, Penelope Cruz (only in Spanish films), Helen Mirren.
Angela, yes I mean in general.
I know Irene Papas of course, I liked her role as Electra. Sophia Loren is a big name, but I have never seen a film of hers.
For Jeanne Moreau, well, I have only seen her in the French series called: Les Rois Maudits (The Cursed Kings).
As you can see my understanding of the past is quite limited.
I like Penelope in "Volver".
I gotta check the other Italians that you mention though ...
I think one thing we can agree on is that, compared to European movies, American movies are generally rather inane. Although the Americans do have a huge output. There's very little real Canadian cinema, and most of it fits into either the Cinema Noire or the Cinema Tres Weird school of cinema. The English don't seem to produce much, either.
I didn't mean to imply that there haven't been wonderful American movies, because there have been lots of them, in my opinion, too many to list. Nor that there haven't been inane European movies, because there have been, Italian sex farces being just one example.
It's just that while certain people fit seamlessly into their own cultural milieu, and make sense within it, they don't fit very well in foreign cultures. Women like Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani are two of those people, in my opinion, particularly because along with the way that they portray other aspects of a woman's life, they embody a certain type of sexuality that's very foreign to American culture.
Maybe that type of sexuality is foreign to the media there. Plus the man has to be receptive to it or he is not going to see it if he is too busy working and being stressed-out.Women like Sophia Loren and Anna Magnani are two of those people, in my opinion, particularly because along with the way that they portray other aspects of a woman's life, they embody a certain type of sexuality that's very foreign to American culture.

I should also mention Irène Jacob. I like her performance in The Double Life of Véronique, and "Three Colours: Red".
Yes, I like French cinema, I cannot hide it
