If there was a rom-com movie worth watching, there was a high chance Diane Keaton starred in it.
Upon hearing the devastating news that Diane had passed aged 79, on October 11, 2025, many fans are commemorating her life by watching some of her best movies and television shows.
Given her stellar career, there are a lot of projects to choose from.
In tribute of Diana Keaton’s memory, The Weekly has rounded up some of her biggest movies below.
Diane Keaton’s best movies:
The Family Stone
Arguably one of Diane’s most divisive films was the 2005 romantic comedy, The Family Stone. But why did a movie about an annual holiday gathering of the Stones family divide so many viewers?
While some view it as a Christmas classic, others question why the Stone family is so cruel to Meredith? The character, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, is considered the awkward outsider who joins the family gathering with her boyfriend Everett. Meredith inevitably clashes with the free-spirited Stone family.
The cast includes Rachael McAdams, Dermot Mulroney, Claire Danes, Luke Wilson, and Craig T. Nelson.
With the movie rumoured to receive a sequel, Sarah, 60, shared an update with Variety at the Golden Eve gala in January 2026.
“I’m so excited…. but it’s a rather bittersweet quandary given the loss of Diane Keaton,” she said. “But it was a very special group of actors, and prior to Diane’s passing, there had been conversations with everybody, so I hope that we’ll be able to.”
“The hardest thing is everybody’s schedules.”
The Family Stone is available for streaming on Disney+ in Australia.
The First Wives Club
This smash-hit movie, The First Wives Club released in 1996 with Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and of course, Diane Keaton.
Three middle-aged women reunite for the first time in nearly 30 years to attend the funeral of a former college friend, who took her own life after discovering her ex-husband’s relationship with a younger woman. Shortly after, the women’s own husbands dump them for younger women.
