Cropped Underworld Evolution

20. Underworld: Evolution (2006)

Kate returns as the vampire death dealer Selene, only this time with more leather and a whole lot more angst. While the plot gets a bit murky (and bloody), there’s no denying that she fully embodies the role, even when the movie’s story struggles to keep up. It’s a stylish dive into the world of vampires and werewolves, with Kate kicking monster butt at every turn. | © Screen Gems

Cropped Underworld

19. Underworld (2003)

The role that launched Kate into the action-horror stratosphere. As Selene, she makes vampire-hunting look like a high-fashion sport, balancing cool intensity with a surprisingly vulnerable side. Underworld may not be Shakespeare, but who needs that when you’ve got werewolves, epic fights, and that unforgettable leather catsuit? It’s campy, it’s fun, and Kate owns every second. | © Screen Gems

Cropped Total Recall

18. Total Recall (2012)

Here, Kate plays a villain with a mean streak, channeling a relentless, action-fueled performance that nearly outshines the movie’s visual effects. While the reboot itself struggled to reach the heights of the original, her portrayal of a ferocious government agent adds some much-needed spark. It's a sci-fi ride where Kate’s charisma pulls you through. | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped Contraband

17. Contraband (2012)

Kate dives into crime thriller territory, playing the wife of Mark Wahlberg’s ex-smuggler character. The film’s gritty vibe fits her well, but with limited screen time and not much to work with, Kate doesn’t get the spotlight she deserves. Still, she manages to bring intensity to her scenes, even if she’s mostly there to look worried and wait for Wahlberg to save the day. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Pearl Harbor

16. Pearl Harbor (2001)

This one’s a love-it-or-hate-it epic, with Kate caught in a love triangle during the WWII attack on Pearl Harbor. The movie leans hard into melodrama, but she brings grace to a role that could easily be one-note. Though the movie itself isn’t a critical darling, Kate’s poise and emotional depth make her scenes some of the most memorable. | © Touchstone Pictures

Cropped Snow Angels

15. Snow Angels (2007)

In this dark indie drama, Kate takes on the role of a troubled woman in a bleak, small-town setting, and it’s one of her most grounded performances. Her portrayal of raw grief and complex emotions brings a haunting depth to the film. It’s a heartbreaking story that shows off her talent for the heavier stuff, and she nails every gut-wrenching moment. | © Warner Independent Pictures

Cropped Laurel Canyon

14. Laurel Canyon (2002)

Kate trades in her action boots for bohemian vibes in Laurel Canyon, where she plays a straight-laced character exploring her wilder side. The movie’s a quirky, laid-back indie with a stellar cast, and Kate’s performance adds layers to a character caught between worlds. It’s a fascinating departure, and she pulls it off with an unexpected charm. | © Sony Pictures Classics

Cropped Stonehearst Asylum

13. Stonehearst Asylum (2014)

A Gothic horror film with an asylum twist, Kate plays a mysterious patient with secrets lurking beneath her calm exterior. The movie’s atmosphere is chilling, and Kate fits right into the eerie Victorian vibes, even if the plot occasionally stumbles. Her presence adds a classy creepiness that keeps you hooked to see what unfolds. | © Millennium Films

Cropped The Last Days of Disco

12. The Last Days of Disco (1998)

Set in the New York club scene of the ‘80s, Kate plays a young, ambitious editor navigating friendships and romance.

Cropped Haunted

11. Haunted (1995)

In this supernatural thriller, Kate plays a ghostly character who adds a sinister edge to the film’s eerie atmosphere. While the story itself might not be groundbreaking, her haunting portrayal makes it memorable. It’s creepy, unsettling, and a glimpse of her early potential in complex, darker roles. | © Rank Film Distributors

Cropped Van Helsing

10. Van Helsing (2004)

This monster-mash action flick sees Kate teaming up with Hugh Jackman to fight vampires and other supernatural baddies. It’s campy and over-the-top, with Kate going full fantasy-action mode. She’s clearly having a blast, even if the plot leans more on spectacle than substance. Sometimes, you just want to see Kate slay (literally) in a corset. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Serendipity

9. Serendipity (2001)

In this beloved rom-com, Kate plays a woman who believes in fate, even if that means a decade of missed connections.

It’s sweet, charming, and she effortlessly nails the role of a hopeless romantic without making it too sappy. | © Miramax

Cropped Everybodys Fine

8. Everybody's Fine (2009)

Kate plays the role of a daughter trying to keep up appearances for her father, played by Robert De Niro, in this family drama. Her character brings warmth and complexity to the story, even though the film’s pacing drags a bit. She adds a grounded feel that balances out the drama, making it a touching exploration of family dynamics. | © Miramax

Cropped Royal Deceit

7. Royal Deceit (1994)

In this lesser-known take on Hamlet, Kate plays opposite a young Christian Bale in a medieval, revenge-driven drama.

It’s an early look at her talent in period dramas, even if the film doesn’t quite make it to royal status. | © Electric Pictures

Cropped Nothing But the Truth

6. Nothing But The Truth (2008)

Kate’s portrayal of a journalist refusing to reveal her source in this political thriller is intense, emotional, and riveting.

Cropped The Aviator

5. The Aviator (2004)

Playing Ava Gardner, Kate brings old Hollywood glamour and sophistication to Scorsese’s biopic on Howard Hughes. Though her screen time is brief, she commands every moment with a blend of strength and style. She holds her own alongside DiCaprio, making her character memorable in a movie packed with larger-than-life personalities. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Cropped Cold Comfort Farm

4. Cold Comfort Farm (1995)

Kate’s comedic timing shines as she plays a modern young woman trying to bring order to a dysfunctional English family.

It’s fun, refreshing, and proof that Kate can do quirky just as well as action-packed. | © BBC Films

As Hero in Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespearean adaptation, Kate brings grace to this timeless romantic comedy.
