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.

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.
