Annie Hall
The one many think of first. Keaton won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this role. She shines as Annie — quirky, funny, vulnerable. A game-changer for romantic comedies. (Yardbarker)
The Godfather (1972)
As Kay Adams-Corleone, Keaton brought quiet strength amid powerful male characters. This film helped launch her career and showed early on her ability to hold her own in big drama. (Yardbarker)
Love and Death (1975)
A Woody Allen satire rich with philosophy, absurd humour, and historical references. Keaton plays Sonja. It’s witty, it’s whimsical, and it shows her comedic chops. (Collider)
Sleeper (1973)
A sci-fi comedy where Keaton plays Luna Schlosser. The plot is weird and fun: a man frozen in 1973 wakes up 200 years later. Keaton gives warmth, humour, and style to her role. (Collider)
Reds (1981)
Moving from quirky comedies to serious historical drama. Keaton plays Louise Bryant, a complex character involved in politics, love, and history. Earned her another Oscar nomination. (Yardbarker)
Baby Boom (1987)
A lighter but meaningful film. Keaton plays a high-powered executive who unexpectedly becomes a mother. The comedy comes through, but so do deeper themes: career vs family, identity, change. (Yardbarker)
Father of the Bride (1991)
Keaton plays the mother in a big family wedding scenario. A mix of humour, emotional moments, chaos — she balances everything gracefully. (The Times of India)
The First Wives Club (1996)
This one is fun, empowering, and shows Keaton in a different light. Alongside Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler, she portrays a woman reclaiming herself. Laughter, friendship, and some sharp social commentary. (parade.com)
Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
A romantic-comedy for later in her career, where love, age, and vulnerability all intersect. Keaton plays Erica, an accomplished woman caught unexpectedly in romance. It reminded audiences that Keaton could still carry a film with nuance. (Yardbarker)
Book Club (2018)
One of her recent hits. Four longtime friends (including Keaton) bond over a book club and life’s ups and downs. It’s warm, comedic, and a reminder that life doesn’t stop being interesting with age. (moviefone.com)
