It should come as no surprise that Julia Roberts has starred in some of the most iconic movies ever made.
To this day people continue to quote, “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.”
Julia was a 90s movie icon with her curly hair and bushy eyebrows in Pretty Woman, and even her sleek style in Notting Hill.
The 57-year-old actress has some impressive credits in various films, and below we are naming Julia Roberts best movies of all time!
My Best Friend’s Wedding
It’s not often we’re rooting for the end of a relationship, but we may have been persuaded when Julia Roberts portrays Julianne Potter in My Best Friends Wedding.
Julianne has been best friends with Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney) since they were kids and vows to get married if they were single at 28. But when he calls one night to reveal he is engaged to Kimberly (Cameron Diaz), she comes to the sudden realisation that she is in love with him.
She sets out on a misguided plan to stop the wedding and “steal the bride’s fella.”
Now, the 1997 film has a sequel in early development. Unfortunately, there are no details regarding My Best Friends Wedding 2.
My Best Friends Wedding is available for streaming Stan and Binge in Australia.
Pretty Woman
Even 35 years after the release of Pretty Woman, people are still using Julia’s character Vivian Ward as inspiration for a Halloween costume.
Vivian is a prostitute who captures the attention of Edward, a rich business man played by Richard Gere. After bargaining a hefty salary, Vivian accompanies him to a few social events – where the difference social classes are clear.
But alas, Vivian steals the hearts of many.
Pretty Woman is available for streaming on Disney+
Notting Hill
Anna (Julia Roberts) is a famous Hollywood actress, seemingly untouchable by everyone. That is until she stumbles upon a bookstore in Notting Hill, owned by William Thacker (Hugh Grant).
Despite being worlds apart, they try to give their romantic connection a try. But the paparazzi’s fascination threatens to tear them apart, and their biggest supporter happens to be William’s wacky roommate Spike (Rhy Ifans).
Noting Hill is available for streaming on Binge and Paramount+.
Erin Brockovich
Julia Roberts is Erin Brockovich, the boisterous mother of two who has made more than her fair share of mistakes.
After demanding – yes, demanding – a job as a law firm secretary, she works tirelessly to get justice for a small town wrecked by a large company’s pollution.
Erin Brockovich is available for streaming on Binge.
Closer
Two love stories, four people, and four cheaters. Julia portrays Anna in the 2004 movie, Closer, who is in a relationship with Larry (Clive Owen) before kissing Dan (Jude Law).
Dan, however, is in a relationship with Alice (Natalie Portman), who is cheating with Larry. A very messy web of affairs, but worth the watch.
Closer is available for streaming on Apple TV+ in Australia.
Leave the World Behind
One of Julia’s more recent hits that had everyone talking was Leave the World Behind. This psychological thriller was very different from Julia’s usual romance plotline.
She portrays Amanda Sanford, who goes away on a luxurious holiday in a rental home with her husband Clay (Ethan Hawke) and children. But the getaway turns dark when a cyberattack shuts down their devices, and two strangers appear at their door.
Leave the World Behind is available for streaming on Netflix in Australia.

Wonder
Based on the New York Times bestselling novel, Wonder is an incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story – so, bring some tissues.
