2. 'Girl, Interrupted' (1999) Above 'Girl, Interrupted' (1999) earned Jolie the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress along with Golden Globe and SAG Awards If Gia announced Jolie's arrival, then her scene-stealing turn in Girl, Interrupted officially crowned her Hollywood royalty. Based on Susanna Kaysen's bestselling memoir about her experience in a mental institution for troubled young women, the movie featured Jolie as the magnetic yet dangerous Lisa Rowe opposite Winona Ryder's Kaysen. Jolie delivered a performance so compelling that legendary critic Roger Ebert described her as 'one of the great wild spirits of current movies, a loose cannon who somehow has deadly aim'. Angelina Jolie's role wasn't simply supporting work—it was a masterclass in commanding attention, earning her Best Supporting Actress nods from the Academy Awards, along with Golden Globe and SAG Awards. 3. 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' (2001) Above Angelina Jolie's role 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' (2001) established the character as a new archetype for female empowerment in cinema While critics may have been divided on the film itself, there was universal agreement that Angelina Jolie was perfect as Tomb Raider's video game adventurer. This role catapulted her to international superstardom and redefined what a female action hero could be on the big screen. Despite mixed reviews, the film's massive commercial success, earning US$274.7 million worldwide, proved Jolie's incredible bankability as a leading lady. More than just an blockbuster action film, Tomb Raider established a new archetype for female empowerment in Lara Croft. 4. 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005) Above 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' (2005) was a pop culture moment that cemented Jolie's status as a bankable Hollywood star The thermonuclear screen chemistry between Jolie and Brad Pitt turned what could have been a standard action-comedy into a cultural phenomenon that grossed US$487.3 million worldwide. As Jane Smith, the deadly assassin masquerading as a suburban housewife, she brought a perfect blend of sophistication, danger and wit that made the screen sizzle. The movie was a pop culture moment that further bolstered her status as one of the most fascinating and bankable stars in Hollywood. 5. 'A Mighty Heart' (2007) Above 'A Mighty Heart' (2007) showcased Jolie's depth and commitment to meaningful storytelling In A Mighty Heart , Jolie was cast as Mariane Pearl, the widow of journalist Daniel Pearl. Jolie showcased her dramatic depth and commitment to meaningful storytelling in the biopic, which was based on Mariane's book about the murder of her husband by jihadist militants in 2002. Jolie used her platform to illuminate human courage in the face of unimaginable loss, as Newsweek praised her 'delicate, powerful and human-scale performance', whilst The Hollywood Reporter described her work as 'well-measured and moving'. Her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations demonstrated how she could bring global attention to important geopolitical events whilst delivering a powerfully authentic performance. 6. 'Changeling' (2008) Above In 'Changeling' (2008), Jolie portrayed maternal strength and defiance against systemic injustice Under Clint Eastwood's masterful direction, Jolie delivered an emotionally devastating performance as Christine Collins, a mother who challenges a corrupt police force after they try to pass off another boy as her missing son. Her Academy Award nomination for Best Actress was richly deserved for this portrayal of maternal strength and defiance against systemic injustice. Shining best in quieter moments, the actress proves her dramatic range could carry even the most emotionally gruelling narratives with grace and power. 7. 'Salt' (2010) Above 'Salt' (2010) showed that Jolie could single-handedly carry a major action thriller Originally written for Tom Cruise, the role of CIA agent Evelyn Salt became a perfect showcase for Jolie's unique magnetism as an action star. The Hollywood Reporter called it 'a better Bond movie than most recent Bond movies', whilst Empire noted that 'when it comes to selling incredible, crazy, death-defying antics, Jolie has few peers in the action business'. The film's US$294 million worldwide gross proved that Jolie could single-handedly carry a major action thriller with genuine gravitas. 8. 'Maleficent' (2014) Above 'Maleficent' (2014) is Jolie's highest-grossing film at over US$758 million worldwide Jolie's transformation into the iconic Disney villain brought magnetic power to what became her highest-grossing film at over US$758 million worldwide. While the film received mixed reviews, her performance was universally praised as the heart and soul of this visually stunning reimagining. She brought depth and maternal feeling to a character traditionally portrayed as pure evil, creating a complex figure that appealed to audiences of all ages. Maleficent proved her gift for commanding the screen in spectacular fashion. 9.

Aimee Lou Wood To Share The Screen With Angelina Jolie In Her First Post-White Lotus Role
Aimee Lou Wood is doing little to conceal her excitement after her latest big-screen project was unveiled. On Thursday, it was reported that – fresh from her acclaimed performance in the most recent season of The White Lotus – the Bafta winner is joining the cast of the heist comedy Anxious People, in which she'll share the screen with Angelina Jolie. Deadline was the first to report the news, with Aimee then posting a screenshot of their announcement on Instagram alongside the message: 'QUEEN ANGE!!!!' Aimee also posted a picture of Angelina in her Oscar-winning role in Girl, Interrupted, writing: 'This performance rocked my whole world when I first saw it and now I get to act with my goddessssssss.' The film Anxious People is an adaptation of Fredrik Backman's novel of the same name. A synopsis posted on Deadline reads: 'The day before Christmas Eve, investment banker Zara begrudgingly finds herself mingling with a group of strangers at an open house. 'When a reluctant bank robber, Grace, inadvertently takes the group hostage, chaos and oversharing ensues, secrets are revealed and literally nothing goes according to plan. 'A film about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.' The former Sex Education star will play the bank robber, Grace, while Angelina will play the icy financier, Zara. So far, 2025 has been the biggest year yet for Aimee, appearing in Netflix's Toxic Town right before making her debut in The White Lotus. The BBC Three comedy Film Club – which she co-wrote, as well as starring in – is also set to premiere later in the year. Meanwhile, Angelina recently made a return to the big screen, earning a Golden Globe nomination for her leading performance in the drama Maria.

Hear Me Out: What If Gen Xers Are Actually the Cool Ones?
I am nine years old and my mother—in her mid-20s at the time—is vacuuming the living room while 'My Favourite Game' by the Cardigans plays on full blast. With each drum thwack she hits another corner with the power nozzle, bare feet padding across the carpet in low-rise jeans, me watching deadpan from the sofa. I will always associate that song with this memory. Sunlight splashing through the open window; those distorted vocals, turned up to full; and the big, blocky CD player, with speakers that make your hands shake if you touch them. Though I was born in the '90s—a millennial—I was raised by a dyed-in-the-wool Gen Xer, and was therefore spoonfed Gen-X culture from an early age. Our CD rack was full of '90s bands: Pixies, PJ Harvey, Placebo. The films I later became obsessed with were all of this era: Girl, Interrupted; Fallen Angels; Run Lola Run; Hackers. By the time I got into Bret Easton Ellis, Elizabeth Wurtzel's Prozac Nation, and Irvine Welsh—all Gen-X writers, with Gen-X sensibilities—something had become abundantly clear. I had been born 15 years or so too late. And now I was destined for a life of Instagram and Asos packages, as opposed to being a '90s slacker making mixtapes and hating on my corporate job. Over the past few years, generational warfare has only ramped up—so much so that it's become boring to even reference: Gen Z hating on millennials for being cringe, millennials hating on Gen Z for being puritanical, and everyone hating on boomers for being, well, boomers. But Gen X—born somewhere between 1965 and 1980—has been largely forgotten about (although even saying that has become a cliché of sorts). Alongside all of this finger-pointing among the generations are claims that, actually, we were the cool ones—no, it was me! But what if it's none of us? What if the cool ones are actually those unbothered people that nobody talks about?
