Happy 51st Birthday To Nicole Kidman.
I used to find Nicole Kidman annoying. I have no idea why… Maybe the Tom Cruise connection didn’t help. Anyway, she’s grown on me in recent years and I did think she was really good in Big Little Lies. And, wow, I’ve seen quite a lot of her movies so I don’t find her so annoying that I avoid her. She’s a good actress.
So counting down to my favorite and including everything I’ve seen, these are My Top Ten Nicole Kidman Movies. I only really like the top four…

Also:
Panic Room (Uncredited so I’ve not included it in the Top Ten. Panic Room is good – I’d put it at number 4)
I was so thinking you’d put Bewitched last haha. Great to see To Die For so high up. She was superb in that. Great film.
Hehe. Bewitched did suck. And I’ve changed my mind – I may actually move To Die For to first place. 🙂
Was a great idea for a post. I put up a 5 year bloggervisary post earlier. I don’t thoink I’ve put many Nicole Kidman films. I need to change that. And yay that’s a good promotion ha. I do like to think I’m persuasive haha.
I really want to watch Moulin Rogue again. Lion and Stoker are definitely two of my favorites of hers.
I think Stoker will be seen as a bit of a classic years from now. 🙂
uve never seen Paddington??? Im shocked Mutant!
Not a big fan of most of her films. You should rewatch My Life, even if it isn’t the easiest film to watch
Nope! And I’ve STILL not seen Paddington….. 😉
I really dug her work in Dead Calm, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Birth was an odd movie but I still dug it. Stoker is one I need to rewatch. Glad you have To Die For in this as that is my favorite movie she’s done. I love watching that flick
Not seen The Killing Of A Sacred Deer yet. Sounds bizarre! To Die For is awesome. I REALLY should have it as number 1. It’s the best. I almost did make it number 1. Okay – I’ve changed my mind. I may move it to first place. 😉
Omg…I absolutely love Practical Magic, and I’m so happy to see it so high on your list! It’s such a guilty pleasure of mine! 😀
Yeah, I think a lot of girls have that as a guilty pleasure. That and The Craft! 🙂 I could really do with re-watching Practical Magic…
I love Practical Magic and Moulin Rouge. My friend, Amy, has a bizarre hatred of Nicole Kidman. You only have to mention her and she goes off on one.
Haha! I’m glad others have unexplained hatred for certain celebs too. I can definitely understand some hating Kidman. She’s just that kind of person, I think…
