In music, Madonna is considered the “queen of pop”. However, her film career was troubled. Madonna has already taken risks as an actress in several films over the course of her career, but critical consensus considers her venture onto the big screen a failure.
However, we decided to list 7 films that prove that Madonna has interesting films in her career.
Madonna: the best films
Madonna played the role of Eva Perón in this musical which tells the life story of Argentina’s legendary first lady. Alan Parker directed the film and also co-wrote it with Oliver Stone. The cast also includes Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Pryce.
The film received average critical reception, but the song “You Must Love Me” won the Oscar for Best Original Song.
In this comedy-drama, Madonna stars alongside Rupert Everett as two friends – a straight woman and a gay man – who decide to have a child together.
Directed by John Schlesinger, the film was a failure with audiences and critics. But at least he produced the single “American Pie”, a Don McLean cover.
Madonna’s first major role was in this cult comedy, where she starred alongside Rosanna Arquette.
In the plot, a bored housewife (Arquette) becomes obsessed with newspaper ads for someone desperately looking for Susan (Madonna).
A commercial and critical success, “A Very Special Team” revolves around a women’s baseball league created when the men were engaged in World War II.
Madonna stars alongside Tom Hanks and Geena Davis in this film directed by Penny Marshall.
Directed and written by the famous Woody Allen, “Fog and Shadows” is a black and white comedy with influences from noir and German expressionism. Allen plays a coward who searches for a group of vigilantes who want to catch a strangler.
Madonna participates in the film along with a large cast that also includes Mia Farrow, John Malkovich, Kathy Bates, Jodie Foster, Donald Pleasence and John Cusack.
Warren Beatty directs and plays detective Dick Tracy in this adaptation of Chester Gould’s comics. The film with a neo-noir look follows detective Dick Tracy’s investigation against the mobster Big Boy Caprice, who intends to control the entire city.
Madonna plays a femme fatale. The star-studded cast includes Al Pacino as the villain.
For some viewers and critics, this film is the best in Madonna’s filmography as an actress. Directed by cult favorite Abel Ferrara, the film follows a director (Harvey Keitel) working on a film about an abusive marriage.
However, the incredible performances of the actors, produced by the demanding director, blend with real life. Madonna and James Russo play the actors who play the couple.
