Michelle Pfeiffer – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · June 26, 2026

United States Drama thought provoking

Batman Returns is unhinged and physical under a lot of latex; Scarface and The Fabulous Baker Boys show more grounded range from earlier. French Exit proves she’s still finding sharp, strange material in her sixties. In Dangerous Liaisons (1988): A virtuous target caught in a cruel 18th-century seduction scheme. Worth seeking out is Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018): A quantum-realm survivor rescued after decades lost in a subatomic dimension.
