Kate Hudson – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · November 24, 2025

Almost Famous earned Kate Hudson an Oscar nomination and remains her most acclaimed dramatic work, while How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days made her one of the decade’s defining rom-com leads. Glass Onion gives her a sharp comic supporting turn, Nine places her in a musical ensemble, The Skeleton Key anchors Southern gothic horror, and Music is a smaller, more personal drama. Raising Helen, You, Me and Dupree, Fool’s Gold and Bride Wars round out the list.
