Alexander

In Oliver Stone's 2004 film, Angelina Jolie took on the role of Alexander the Great's mother, portraying a character both socially inappropriate and strangely alluring. Clad in attire more suited to a fantasy realm than historical accuracy, Jolie's performance left audiences simultaneously fascinated and perplexed. Her character's unsettling blend of maternal affection and envy towards her son, Alexander (played by Colin Farrell), added an uncomfortable dimension to the already bizarre storyline. What added to the peculiarity was the real-life fact that Jolie is only a year older than Farrell, further enhancing the surreal nature of their on-screen relationship.

Beowulf

Who could forget Angelina Jolie's captivating portrayal in Beowulf? Her role as the villainous seductress, Grendel's mother, left an indelible mark on viewers. Imagining her as the CGI embodiment of this ancient creature was a stroke of genius. The animators spared no detail in crafting her character, from her otherworldly allure to the unsettling subtleties of her movements. And Jolie's performance breathed life into the sinister depths of Grendel's mother, leaving audiences simultaneously mesmerised and chilled to the bone.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider

Angelina served up Lara Croft's realness in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider back in 2001. She didn't just play the role; she owned it like a boss. Picture this: Jolie strutting across the screen, kicking butt, and taking names as the iconic adventurer Lara Croft. She's on a mission to find this artefact that's got time-bending powers, but of course, there's a shady secret society trying to snatch it up for all the wrong reasons. It's like Indiana Jones meets Bond, with a generous sprinkle of Jolie's fierce charisma thrown in for good measure.

Mr and Mrs Smith 

In this action-comedy gem, Angelina Jolie slays as Jane, the sass-filled housewife with a killer twist. Rocking pearls and a lethal attitude, she's the epitome of domestic badassery. The sparks between Jolie and Brad Pitt, her on-screen partner, set the screen on fire with their sizzling chemistry. Sorry, Jennifer, but we can't help but revel in the scorching allure of this power couple.

As Angelina Jolie hits 49 on June 4, her status as a Hollywood icon is as sizzling as ever. Her flicks not only flaunt her undeniable talent but also stand as proof of her lasting sway on cinema. As she marks another year, Angelina Jolie keeps on sparking inspiration and enchanting audiences with her unforgettably magnetic on-screen charisma. Happy Birthday, Queen!
