Kate Winslet – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · June 17, 2026

Titanic made her a star, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is warm and chaotic, nothing like the poised period roles she’s known for, and Mare of Easttown shows she’s just as strong on television. Sense and Sensibility earned an Oscar nomination as the impulsive Marianne, Steve Jobs earned another as Joanna Hoffman, The Holiday swaps homes with Cameron Diaz, and Avatar: The Way of Water makes her a reef clan leader. Little Children, Revolutionary Road and The Reader round out the list.
