BARBRA STREISAND’S TOP 10 MOVIES
“The Guilt Trip” (2012): In the last movie she’s made to date (written by “This Is Us” creator-producer Dan Fogelman), Streisand is entertaining as a woman who becomes her son’s (Seth Rogen) cross-country traveling companion.
“The Prince of Tides” (1991): Also showing her expertise as a director, Streisand gives a sensitive translation to Pat Conroy’s classic novel.
“Nuts” (1987): One of Streisand’s more underrated films boasts her great performance as a murder-accused prostitute battling an insanity plea.
“Yentl” (1983): Streisand established herself as a director as well as an actress with this clearly heartfelt drama, about a Jewish girl posing as a boy to acquire a religious education.
“The Main Event” (1979):
In her second teaming with Ryan O’Neal, Streisand is vastly appealing as a swindled cosmetics tycoon left with one major holding: a washed-up boxer’s contract.
“A Star Is Born” (1976): Streisand and Kris Kristofferson were as popular as movie stars got at the time of this music-driven remake.
“The Way We Were” (1973): Still one of the most romantic movies ever, this teaming of Streisand and Robert Redford transcends its period setting (the 1930s and ’40s) to be timeless.
“What’s Up, Doc?” (1972): The zany side of Streisand flowed freely in director Peter Bogdanovich’s screwball comedy about a free spirit who plagues a stuffy musicologist (Ryan O’Neal).
“The Owl and the Pussycat” (1970): A perfectly saucy Streisand makes a fine foil for the conservative neighbor played by George Segal.
“Funny Girl” (1968): Streisand arrived on the screen as a full-fledged star, thanks to her Oscar-winning re-creation of her Broadway role as legendary performer Fanny Brice.
