Nicole Kidman – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · May 25, 2026

The Hours earned the Oscar on pure restraint, Moulin Rouge! is the opposite, big and theatrical, and Babygirl proves she’s still taking real risks decades in. Babygirl has a CEO entangled with a younger intern, Aquaman makes her an Atlantean queen, Bombshell helps expose a network harassment scandal, and Lion earned an Oscar nomination as an adoptive mother. To Die For, Eyes Wide Shut, Rabbit Hole and Big Little Lies round out the list.
