The Mother

Don't provoke your mother. And when we talk about the mother in this film, we mean Lopez as a ruthless contract killer who, after years in hiding, decides to protect the daughter she once gave up for adoption. A real adrenaline roller coaster begins when mother and daughter have to run from dangerous killers portrayed by Joseph Fiennes and Gael García Bernal. But don't worry, Lopez will make sure their fling won't last long. The film takes you from sunny Cuba to icy Alaska and doesn't skimp on action scenes that will get your blood pumping.

Halftime

Remember Super Bowl 2020? Yes, that unforgettable performance where Jennifer Lopez and Shakira brought millions of viewers to their feet. But there was a lot of effort and frustration behind this glamorous curtain call – the two stars only had a few minutes to squeeze decades of musical hits into one joint performance. The documentary Halftime reveals the background behind the preparation of this spectacle, while at the same time taking us into the daily life of Jennifer Lopez, who juggles motherhood, film shoots and many other projects while managing her A-list life. This insight into her work shows just how much discipline it takes to stay on top—and Jennifer definitely has it down pat.

Anaconda

If you're in the mood for some campy '90s fun, then Anaconda is your go-to. In this wild adventure, Lopez plays a documentarian who travels the Amazon with a team of explorers in search of a legendary tribe. But their expedition soon turns into a deadly game of survival when they encounter a notorious snake hunter and face off against a giant anaconda. From explosions to overtly bad special effects, this movie has it all, making this thriller one of those moviegoing experiences that's so bad it's great.

Antz

An animated classic from the 90s, Antz is more than just a kid's movie about ants. It's a philosophical tale about identity, social role, and, well, ants who are aware of their smallness. Lopez is Azteca, a worker ant who falls in love with Weaver (voiced by Sylvester Stallone), but it's our lead star Z (Woody Allen) who sets events in motion that will never be the same again. Despite being a children's film, it has a lot of depth, and Jennifer Lopez adds that magical touch with her performance that is not to be missed.

Enough

If you're a fan of suspenseful thrillers with female revenge at the fore, then Enough is the right choice. Lopez plays Slim, a waitress who marries Mitch, a man who at first acts like a dream prince. But this perfect facade soon crumbles when Slim discovers that Mitch is violent and dangerous. The film follows her fight for freedom and the protection of her daughter, while Mitch makes an unstoppable effort to bring her back under his control. The film culminates in a tense showdown that will satisfy anyone who enjoys cathartic tales of female power.

Atlas

For those of you already anxiously waiting for updates, add Atlas to your list, the upcoming film from 2024. Lopez plays Atlas Shepherd, an analyst who travels through space to confront a deadly enemy. The film promises plenty of futuristic action, and Jennifer Lopez in a high-tech performance will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes.

Conclusion: Jennifer Lopez convinces us time and time again that she is not just a star, but a real force of nature who effortlessly handles everything she does. Her ability to switch between the roles of an action heroine, a fearless mother and even an animated ant shows her versatility and uniqueness. If you want to spend some truly unforgettable movie moments with her, Netflix is waiting for you with a collection that is sure to brighten up your evening - or maybe even the whole weekend.
