legendary American actress Diane Keaton had passed away at the age of 79.
If you’re a fan of Keaton’s incredibly diverse and brilliant body of work, you can honor her with a movie marathon of some of her most famous and beloved movies — including her most famous Woody Allen collaborations “Manhattan” and “Annie Hall,” the latter of which won her an Oscar for playing the titular role (that was, in fact, based on her). Other must-watches include “Father of the Bride” and its sequel(s), “The First Wives Club,” “The Godfather” and “The Godfather Part II,” and “Something’s Gotta Give,” just to name a few. Incredibly, Keaton appeared in three movies that earned perfect scores on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Even more incredibly, I didn’t list any of those three above. Even more incredibly, one of them was Keaton’s film debut.
To be clear, I think nearly every single movie in Keaton’s expansive oeuvre is improved by her mere presence, and I’m as gutted by the loss of this magnetic, charismatic, and utterly unique actress as anybody else. Still, three perfectly-reviewed films is yet another great accomplishment for Keaton, so let’s look at three of her best (and earliest!) films.
