Salma Hayek – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · July 1, 2026

Frida earned Salma Hayek an Oscar nomination and remains the performance she’s most associated with, committed and physically demanding, while House of Gucci and Eternals show real staying power in bigger studio films. Eternals has her as the wise leader Ajak, House of Gucci casts a psychic confidante, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish voices Kitty Softpaws, and The Hitman’s Bodyguard plays a foul-mouthed imprisoned boss. Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Wild Wild West and Grown Ups round out the list.
