Guide Picks - Top Julia Roberts Romance Films
|
 |
|
|
Julia Roberts is a favorite with romantic movie fans. From "Mystic Pizza" to "America's Sweethearts," Julia has captured the hearts of moviegoers of all ages - and both sexes. Her performances in romantic films haven't garnered as much critical acclaim as her "serious" roles, however romantic movies are her bread and butter. It's movies from the romance genre that have made Julia Roberts into one of America's best-loved movie stars.

1) "Notting Hill" (Ultimate Edition)
"Notting Hill's" DVD earns its title of "Ultimate Edition." There's an incredible collection of bonus features on the DVD, including deleted scenes, two music videos, Hugh Grant's Movie Tips, "Seasonal Walk on Portobello" featurette, and much more.

2) "Pretty Woman"
This is undoubtedly Julia's most memorable romantic role. Julia plays a hooker with an extensive knowledge of cars and great dental hygiene. Richard Gere co-stars as the knight in shining armor who rescues her from her life working the streets. The "Pretty Woman" 10th Anniversary DVD includes extra footage, director commentary, Natalie Cole music video, and interviews with the cast.

3) "Something to Talk About"
Julia stars with Dennis Quaid and Kyra Sedgwick in this film about love, infidelity, family relationships, and horses. There are some absolutely wonderful performances by the film's co-stars, including Gena Rowlands as Julia and Kyra's mother, and Robert Duvall as the father who puts horses ahead of his daughters' happiness.

4) "America's Sweethearts"
The DVD doesn't offer much in the way of special features, but the movie is enjoyable enough that it hardly matters. John Cusack and Julia Roberts are wonderful in what I believe is one of the best romantic comedies of 2001.

5) "Runaway Bride"
No, this isn't about Julia's real love life. "Runaway Bride" reunites "Pretty Woman" co-stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in a cute tale about a woman with commitment issues. Gere plays a reporter sent to get the true story on Julia's many incomplete wedding ceremonies.

6) "My Best Friend's Wedding"
Best friends Julianne Potter (Julia Roberts) and Michael O'Neil (Dermot Mulroney) make a pact to marry if they are still single at age 28. Guess what age Julianne's about to turn? Cameron Diaz co-stars as Michael's fiancée who has the unenviable task of competing with Julianne for Michael's love.

7) "The Mexican"
"The Mexican" teamed heartthrob Brad Pitt with romantic movie fav, Julia Roberts. The resulting film was funny, well-acted, and completely enjoyable. Though they didn't spend much on-screen time together, the two megastars were equally enjoyable in this romantic comedy.
