Children of Men (7.9)

Children of Men is perhaps Alfonso Cuarón at his best. Set in a dark bleak world where no children are being born and the youngest person in the whole world was just murdered, Children of Men is a harrowing tale. Moore plays the role of Julian Taylor, a leader of a group. While the role itself is short lived, it is one of the most powerful performances in the movie.

Boogie Nights (7.9)

Boogie Nights is a great insight into the adult film industry and just how the business there works. It is a great look into the spiraling of one’s life and shows the fall from greatness. Some of the best work of PTA’s career, Boogie Nights has an all-star cast that’s a highlight of the film. Moore plays the role of Maggie, an adult film actress and she does a lot of great work over here. Happy Birthday Julianne Moore: Short Cuts, Boogie Nights, Children of Men – 5 Movies to Binge Watch on Her Birthday.
