Notting Hill and the 10 best Julia Roberts movies

Check out our list of Notting Hill and the 10 best Julia Roberts movies

From famed fairies to perspicacious prostitutes, the character scope of the three-time Golden Globe Award-winning actor knows no bounds and our list of the 10 best Julia Roberts movies is both timeless and diverse.

Roberts has taken on the personas of con artists, teachers, evil stepmothers, loving stepmothers, mothers with a vengeance, runaway brides, and everything in between, but her characters always have two things in common: growth and perspective.

Whether it’s the value of letting go of that which was never hers, learning to love the children of another woman, fighting for her own self worth and right to be free or learning from the very students she’d been tasked with enlightening, Roberts’s film characters always undergo immense transformations and it’s a testament to the actor that she’s able to embody not only one character on screen but the two different journeys and personalities that come with those roles.

Though she’d done multiple films almost every decade—her more recent movies being Ben is Back, Wonder and the short film Let’s Dance—Roberts’s most memorable and impactful performances are often her oldies-but-goodies. Even though the films are harshly judged within their genres, these films show the best of what Roberts can do with character transformation and development. From the sweet romances of Pretty Woman and Notting Hill to thrillers like Sleeping with the Enemy, here are the 10 best Julia Roberts movies.
