Uma Thurman – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · August 12, 2026

Pulp Fiction defined Uma Thurman for a generation, but Kill Bill is the most physically demanding role of her career, a two-film arc built around her presence, and Gattaca shows a quieter, restrained register. Henry & June is an early acclaimed role adapting Anais Nin’s memoirs, The Producers casts her as a Swedish secretary, Nymphomaniac gives her a brief, furious turn as a betrayed wife, and Chambers is a supernatural mystery series lead. Dangerous Liaisons and Batman & Robin round out the list.
