Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Such an excellent film. Both her and Jim Carrey are fantastic in it.

Enternal sunshine and titanic

u/Gh0stTV 2d ago

Probably the wrong sub to mention it, but Mare of Easttown on HBO was top notch! I like to view it as a better subsequent season of True Detective Season 2.

She did a great job with the accent

Excellent series!

u/DummBee1805 1d ago

Not a movie but certainly one of her best

Heavenly Creatures, Eternal Sunshine and Revolutionary Road

1

u/enewwave 2d ago

I’ve had revolutionary road on my list for a while now— is it worth a watch?

1

u/betweentwoblueclouds 1d ago

It’s heartbreaking but excellent

u/OurHouse20 2d ago

Titanic and Contagion

u/Interwebzking 2d ago

Yess contagion! I also really enjoyed her in the recent film, Lee. I thought she played that character well.

u/Palidor 1d ago

The scene at the grave with the flowers always hits hard

u/R1chh4rd 2d ago

Revolutionary Road and Contagion

u/retroherb 2d ago

Titanic for sure

Also, not a movie, but her episode of Extras is probably my favourite, it's so funny when she hangs up the finger phone

2

u/Ok-Example-2192 2d ago

I loved that episode so much, she’s hilarious! Best episode of the whole show!

2

u/Palidor 1d ago

I love the scene where the extra chews her out and she’s genuinely shocked and remorseful

Sense and Sensibility

u/smorrg 2d ago

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind..... She was so raw and chaotic and real as Clementine. That whole movie just feels like a soft heartbreak wrapped in dream logic, and she nails every second of it.

u/Sticky_Cobra 2d ago

Going obvi here with Titanic.

Secondary, my nieces got me watching "The Holiday" every year during the holidays.

2

u/Pornstar_Frodo 2d ago

I’m gonna break the mold and say The Life of David Gale. One of my fave ‘amazing film that nobody talks about’ flicks. She was brilliant too.

2

u/Comedywriter1 2d ago

Eternal Sunshine. One of my favourite performances of all time.

2

u/Upstairs-Decision378 2d ago

Revolutionary Road because I had read that book beforehand, and Winslet and DiCaprio did an amazing job! (and Kathy Bates)

2

u/Prize-Condition3553 2d ago

Eternal Sunshine is flawless

2

u/NotABonobo 2d ago

Not enough mentions of Heavenly Creatures here

1

u/Electronic-Parfait73 1d ago

Not enough people have seen it I'm guessing.

1

u/Sea-End-4841 1d ago

Peter Jackson before his blockbuster days.

2

u/JordanUnbroken 2d ago

The Dressmaker.

Also, not a flick but she did amazing in the limited series remake of Mildred Pierce.

2

u/emartinezpr 1d ago

I'm glad someone knows this movie. It was excellent 👌.

1

u/JenLn1981 2d ago

It's actually a tv mini-series, but she did such a fantastic job in HBO's adaptation of Mildred Pierce. I actually love their version more than the original movie.

1

u/SurviveStyleFivePlus 2d ago

I think the performance that best shows off her immense talent was her turn as Ophelia in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet. She is riveting in every scene she's in.

1

u/That-Bluejay3533 2d ago

The one with Hugh Jackmans balls on his chin

1

u/iL0veL0nd0n 2d ago

Revolutionary Road, Titanic, A Little Chaos. She never disappoints🫡

u/Deepspacechris 2d ago

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. No doubt about that one. Top 3 favorite movie for me, easily.

1

u/Total_Gur4367 2d ago

I probably haven’t watched enough of her movies to pick a favorite, although Little Children was really good and the one where she helps hide a criminal (I forgot the name). But Titanic is definitely the one she looks best in. Those dresses!! She looked amazing and whoever was in charge of her wardrobe did an amazing job cuz she was just stunning. 😍

1

u/PerspectiveWhore3879 2d ago

Probably Heavenly Creatures, her and Melanie lynskey had a really strong start to their careers.

1

u/Tiger1572 2d ago

Perhaps a cliché, but Titanic. IMO she have never been more attractive and sexy.

1

u/Palidor 1d ago

Not as much as Leo but she had a legit post-titanic career

1

u/Tiger1572 1d ago

Can’t argue with that

1

u/WB1173 2d ago

The Life of David Gale is very good.

1

u/betweentwoblueclouds 1d ago

She’s incredible in everything but I’d say The Reader and Revolutionary Road

1

u/Total-Discount1347 1d ago

Second best is Little Children

1

u/ManofPan9 1d ago

I’ll let you know as soon as I find one

1

u/glenn1066 1d ago

Ammonite.... She was epic in this, but not a good film

1

u/Over_Incident5593 17h ago

Not if it counts but avatar movie with what she was given was great performance

1

u/mamajulie62 5h ago

I don’t know if it’s considered a movie, but just watched Mildred Pierce, I thought it was excellent.

1

u/WebheadGa 3h ago

Titanic. I can’t lie that movie is just fantastic. I rewatched it in theaters last year when they did the re-release for the anniversary and I hadn’t seen it in at least a decade and it completely won me over all over again.

The one where she shows her boobs!

u/Jim_jim_peanuts 2d ago

Aaaaaaaaaagh you stole my joke!!! Lol I was just about to type this exact sentence and was so chuffed with myself for how original and hilarious it was going to be

u/bitterbuffaloheart 2d ago

Draw me like one of your French girls

u/Hell0imjonEcache 2d ago

The reader? She gets them out in most films right?! Not shy our Kate

2

u/No-Assumption7830 2d ago

As long as it's essential to the story and in keeping with the character. ;)

u/Evening_Dress5743 2d ago

The one where she's naked

u/chrisolucky 2d ago

This might be a bit cliche, but Titanic.

She has such emotional depth in that film, and she captures it so genuinely! Really amazing actress.

Everyone should also check out Heavenly Creatures, her debut film. She’s incredible in it.
