More than one of the pop stars of the world, Jennifer Lopez is also a great actress with some classics under her belt; watch top 7 movies with her
Jennifer Lopez is a true phenomenon. She is that typical artist who does everything and is present in any medium you can imagine. She is a successful singer—including being a Super Bowl halftime star—songwriter, producer, businesswoman and, of course, an actress.
Precisely for this reason it is impossible not to classify it in any other way than as a star. Especially since the almighty J.Lo racks up hits wherever she goes, even in movies. Just look at his filmography and see how he has a very varied list of major productions to prove that he is more than just a pretty face.
On screen, she has already played everything from young women in romantic comedies to action heroines, even animation and drama. Of course, there are some slip-ups here and there in her career, but the balance is still very positive and only proves that the diva really has a Midas touch to generate new successes.
So the canaltech decided to list the top 7 films with Jennifer Lopez.
7. Anacondas
We agree that anaconda is far from one of Hollywood’s great treasures or even a film that J.Lo should be proud to have on her resume. However, the film about the giant snake that devours people receives special affection from the Brazilian audience because it is a story that takes place in our country. In a very caricatural way, it is true, but enough to mark our imagination.
Even so, it’s a very entertaining film starring Jennifer Lopez, as a documentary filmmaker who goes deep into the heart of the Amazon rainforest to film an indigenous tribe and ends up being chased by the colossal serpent.
It’s the kind of story killer animal that always works welldespite all the playfulness involved.
anaconda is available on HBO Max and Universal+. Furthermore, it can also be purchased or rented from Google Play, Amazon and iTunes.
6. My dream wedding
A romantic comedy it was a genre that J.Lo always did very well and My dream wedding is one of the classics in which he starred. The film is now more than 20 years old and is still one of the funniest of the artist’s career and a favorite with the public, also because, from time to time, it is repeated on TV.
In the storyline, Lopez plays a wedding planner who ends up falling in love with the groom who hired her. From there she begins to realize what is missing in her life beyond work and she decides to pursue her own happiness. Too bad she ends up ruining another bride’s day because of it.
My dream wedding is available on Prime Video and Pluto TV.
5. AntZ
Quite unexpectedly, Jennifer Lopez also experienced an ant in classic animation AntZa film that has come to rival it The life of the insect, by Disney/Pixar, and which brought an absurd cast. In addition to our pop diva, the design also has Woody AllenSharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Danny Glover and Sylvester Stallone.
These are such big names that J.Lo ends up being overshadowed. He plays the Aztec ant, one of the many workers in the colony and friend of the hero Z, who helps him in the great revolution started by the protagonist.
It’s a very entertaining film that brings a very serious theme to a production aimed at children, involving palace conspiracies, militarism, coups and popular revolution.
AntZ is available on Telecine.
4. Lily and Eva: United for revenge
A film in which Jennifer Lopez joins Viola Davis beating everyone is definitely one of those productions that you have to watch – e Lily and Eva: United for revenge and all this. The 2015 film plays the two mothers who have lost their children to urban violence and who end up meeting by chance. Dissatisfied with the slowness of the police, they decide to unite to take justice into their own hands.
It’s your typical action movie with a very simple proposition, but it always works well. The big difference is that we have these two big stars stepping into the fray and showing just how versatile they can be.

Another film that mixes action, robbery and romance in Jennifer Lopez’s resume. In Irresistible passionlives an FBI agent who becomes involved with a handsome thief who has just escaped from prison – and who is lived by none other than George Clooney in his prime.
