Movies starring Diane Keaton

The Godfather (1972)

175 mins     Crime, Drama      

"The Godfather" is for me, and to be honest many, the greatest movie ever made, it is the movie that if I was told I could only watch one movie for the rest of my life I would chose. The reason is that it is the most complete...

The Godfather: Part II (1974)

200 mins     Crime, Drama      

Rule of thumb, sequels tend to suck, but there are the rare exceptions and probably the best exception is the stunning "The Godfather: Part II" a movie which is almost the equal of "The Godfather". And how did Francis Ford Co...

Harry and Walter Go to New York (1976)

115 mins     Comedy, Crime      

Oh look there's Burt Young and look there's Charles Durning and who is that I can see it's Carol Kane. I could go on because beyond its lead cast of James Caan, Elliott Gould and Michael Caine "Harry and Walter Go to New York...

Father of the Bride (1991)

105 mins     Comedy, Family      

Like many when I first watched "Father of the Bride" I had no idea it was a remake of a 1950s movie, but it meant I could watch this fun family comedy without comparing it to the original. The story focuses on George Banks, a...

Look Who's Talking Now (1993)

96 mins     Comedy      

Movie Review - Look Who's Talking Now (1993) the Ubriacco household is in chaos, not just because they have added a couple of dogs to the family but because James (John Travolta) is always working whilst Mollie (Kirstie Alley...

Father of the Bride Part II (1995)

106 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance      

Although I enjoyed the first "Father of the Bride", not the original rather the Steve Martin remake it had its flaws, most notably that it was overly sentimental. Well nothing has really changed for the expected sequel, I say...

Marvin's Room (1996)

92 mins     Drama      

Dysfunctional, troubled or malfunctioning are all words which go hand in hand with family, an often used staple of modern cinema because the turbulence of a troubled family is packed with potential drama. "Marvin's Room" is o...

Something's Gotta Give (2003)

128 mins     Comedy, Romance      

"Something's Gotta Give" is a movie which has a lot about it which I really like but just as much that I dislike. It makes a stand and proves that a romantic comedy doesn't need to focus on sexy young things to work and that ...

On Thin Ice (2003)

86 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

I've watched Diane Keaton in a variety of movies but for the most they have been light entertainment, well "On Thin Ice" is certainly not light entertainment with Keaton taking on a role of a widowed mum who ends up hooked on...

The Family Stone (2005)

103 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

The Family Stone: Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Meredith who is meeting her boyfriend's parents at a Christmas family get together only to turn out to be unpopular...

Surrender, Dorothy (2006)

87 mins     Comedy, Drama      

As is sometimes the case it is the talent on show in "Surrender, Dorothy" rather than what it's about which drew me to watching. Unfortunately whilst you have young talent such as Tom Everett Scott, Lauren German and Chris Pi...

Because I Said So (2007)

102 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I have nothing against those movies labelled as "chick flicks" they can be the perfect light weight nonsense for when you just want a fun movie rather than something which requires more thought. But "chick flicks" can be a ca...

104 mins     Comedy, Crime      

A wealthy wife who finds her money gone, a single mother wanting the best for her sons and a ditzy young woman who wants to travel decide to pull of a clever robbery at the Federal Reserve, that is "Mad Money" summed up in on...

Morning Glory (2010)

107 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

When it comes to "Morning Glory" I am sure there are going to be those who think what's the point because here is a comedy with a female lead but it doesn't fit the romantic comedy formula. Of course there is some romance inv...

5 Flights Up (2014)

98 mins     Comedy, Drama      

Movie Review - 5 Flights Up (2014) (aka: Ruth & Alex) Diane Keaton and Morgan Freeman star as Ruth and Alex who have been married for a long time and lived in their New York apartment almost as long. But with property values ...
