TOP 10 MOVIES

- BY JAY BOBBIN

“Hustlers” (2019): Lopez clearly is the star attraction in this betterthan-might-be-expected drama about the sisterhood among several dancers.

“The Back-up Plan” (2010): It’s not the easiest thing to pull off being charming in a comedy about artificial inseminati­on, but Lopez manages.

“Monster-in-Law” (2005): Lopez and Jane Fonda are a fun match as the fiancee and the mom struggling over the same man (Michael Vartan).

“Shall We Dance?” (2004): This respectabl­e remake of the Japanese drama uses Lopez nicely as the dance instructor who inspires a married attorney (Richard Gere) in several ways.

“Maid in Manhattan” (2002): Lopez plays a contempora­ry Cinderella in this romantic comedy about a hotel maid’s case of mistaken identity.

“Enough” (2002): A cable mainstay, this drama gives Lopez a great chance to show her serious side as an abused wife and mother who finally decides to battle back.

“The Wedding Planner” (2001): A charming Lopez fills the title occupation in this love story, with Matthew McConaughe­y as the would-be groom she falls for while planning his nuptials.

“Out of Sight” (1998): Lopez’s teamwork with George Clooney on this adaptation of an Elmore Leonard crime novel often is cited as evidence of how combustibl­y good a pairing of stars can be.

“Selena” (1997): Her top triumph as a solo star to date, this biography of the slain singer allows Lopez to shine both dramatical­ly and musically.

“Money Train” (1995):

The emphasis is on Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as transit cops, but Lopez adds allure as another officer

working with them.
