TOP 10 MOVIES
“Something’s Gotta Give” (2003): Simply put, the reteaming of Keaton and Jack Nicholson in this middle-aged romance fulfills its promise.
“The First Wives Club” (1996): Just by being herself, Keaton is a riotous element of the the trio that also includes Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler.
“Father of the Bride” (1991): One of Keaton’s most conventional roles also is one of her most entertaining, as she plays the calming wife of an increasingly panicked in-law-to-be (Steve Martin) in this charming remake.
“The Good Mother” (1988): A wrenching Keaton plays a divorcee whose new romance could cost her custody of her daughter.
“Baby Boom” (1987): Keaton is ideal as a relentless workaholic whose career is impacted greatly when she inherits a late relative’s infant.
“Reds” (1981): Keaton fills a vital role in ex-beau Warren Beatty’s drama as Louise Bryant, the woman between journalist John Reed (Beatty) and playwright Eugene O’Neill (Nicholson).
“Looking for Mr. Goodbar” (1977): Comedy largely was Keaton’s calling card when she offered this reminder of her dramatic skills by playing a promiscuous schoolteacher.
“Annie Hall” (1977): It would be hard for Keaton to get the title part wrong, since Woody Allen based it on her – and she plays herself well enough to have won an Oscar for it.
“Love and Death” (1975): The best of Keaton’s early teamings with Allen finds her totally game for sending up Russian culture.
“The Godfather” (1972): Some people might not even remember Keaton was in this iconic Mob movie, but she fills the bill as a family outsider.
