Disney's original Enchanted movie has been one of the company's most popular and beloved projects for a long time now, and the long-awaited sequel, Disenchanted, is finally days away from release. Amy Adams returns in the titular role, which will see her follow up one of her better-recieved performances.

In celebration of Adams' career, many Redditors have recently begun to discuss Adams' best performances so far. There are plenty of varied answers, which is a huge testament to the quality and consistency of her work.

The Fighter (2010)

Amy Adams turns in one of her boldest and most powerful supporting performances in The Fighter, which chronicles the partnership between two brothers who help each other climb to success in the boxing game. It's an inspiring story, with lead actors Christian Bale and Mark Whalberg really making the most of their talents.

Reddit user coronavirus admits that they "loved" Amy Adams' inclusion in The Fighter; she brings such a necessary sense of humanity and vulnerability that really helps raise the stakes of David O. Russell's arresting narrative.

Enchanted (2007)

Available To Stream On Disney+

The character of Giselle from Enchanted is probably Amy Adams' most well-known and beloved character to date, and that's why so many audiences are excited to see her return in the upcoming sequel. She totally makes the most of this unconventional heroine, making it impossible to imagine any other actress in the role.

Reddit user mst3kgf praises Adams' performance in Enchanted, writing that "it's a role that could have been utterly ridiculous in another actress' hands." The film's concept is an extremely bold one, but Disney's hilarious attempt at parodying itself with Enchanted is just as good as the real thing.

American Hustle (2013)

Available To Stream On Starz

American Hustle is unlike any other film in the genre, bringing together a hugely talented cast of A-List actors and actresses as they provide some of their most eccentric and dynamic performances in this high-stakes crime drama that knows exactly how to utilize its own style and lightheartedness.

The film's over-the-top style certainly won't work for all audiences, but it's impossible not to admire the dedication that the entire cast shows to their roles. Redditor teamstark31 agrees that Adams was "great" in the film, with many commenters, echoing the suggestion that she's the standout of the cast.

Vice (2018)

Available To Stream On Paramount+

Even though Adam McKay's Vice was a fairly polarizing movie, Amy Adams' great performance was one of the few aspects that audiences could rally around. Even when the film's screenplay lacks depth, she makes the most out of every scene and keeps things interesting throughout.

Reddit user triscuitcracker argues that Amy Adams is "looong overdue for an Oscar," naming Vice as one of the many projects that should have pushed her toward that achievement. She's one of this generation's most versatile actresses, and even controversial movies like Vice prove that she's always reliable.

Nocturnal Animals (2016)

Available To Stream On Netflix

There are so many outstanding performances in Nocturnal Animals that it's impossible to choose the best, but it's certainly a project that stands out sharply within Amy Adams' repertoire. It's entirely thanks to Adams' compelling lead performance that the film's narrative works so effectively and draws the audience in so strongly.

Reddit user bluerocketo claims that Adams was "so good" in the film, making them "hate her character" in the best way possible. Nocturnal Animals is one of the most suspenseful thrillers of the 2010s, and it's a project that really highlights Adams' gripping strengths as an actress.

Doubt (2008)

Available To Stream On Showtime

Doubt might not have the high-octane intensity or entertaining charisma of most other Amy Adams roles, but her role in the film is undoubtedly one of her most emotional and powerful to date. She plays a Catholic school nun who finds herself embroiled in a dark scandal of abuse and exploitation.

Doubt became famous for Meryl Streep's award-winning lead performance, but Redditor brooksg99 actually "enjoyed [Adams] more than Meryl in that particular role." Her performance is a masterclass in subtlety and restraint that works symbiotically with the film's screenplay to highlight the many complexities of her character.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Available To Stream On Paramount+

Many audiences cite Catch Me If You Can as Spielberg's best film of the 21st Century, and it maintains that status even now, two decades after its release. The film tells the somewhat true story of Frank Abagnale Jr, who allegedly conned millions of dollars through a series of complex plots and disguises.

Reddit user brownu95 believes that Amy Adams' supporting role was actually a highlight of the film, citing this project as one of the many reasons that Adams soon become "the next big thing" in Hollywood. She brings every scene to life with her grounded yet entertaining turn as Brenda Strong, a crucial figure in Abagnale's journey.

The Master (2012)

Available To Stream On Tubi TV

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation, and many audiences cite The Master as his greatest achievement to date. It reveals the powerful narrative of a volatile war veteran who finds his new family in a newly-formed religion after the second World War.

Amy Adams stars as one of the leading figures in this mysterious religion, and one Redditor even argues that it's the "most underrated role" of her career. Even opposite huge talents such as Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Adams never fails to steal the show and shine in every scene.

Her (2014)

Available To Rent On Prime Video

Her tells a powerful romance story with a tragic twist that aims to break the audience's heart while teaching them a valuable lesson about humanity, technology, and the increasingly important distinction between the two. Adams stars as Amy, the protagonist's best friend who offers some interesting insight into his unconventional relationship.

It's not a huge role, but she definitely leaves an impact despite her minimal screen time. Reddit user megabear3000 describes her performance as "absolutely perfect", proving that you don't need to be the main character in a movie to be one of its strongest assets.

Arrival (2016)

Available To Stream On Showtime

Amy Adams delivers her career-best performance in Dennis Villeneuve's Arrival, which gives her plenty of interesting material and complex characteristics to work with. It's an intelligent story about the power of time and existence, brought alive by some truly inspired direction.

Redditor aagaash2001 argues that Adams "plays the character [in Arrival] so subtly and so nuanced, yet there's so much emotion conveyed at once." It's truly her most moving and passionate performance to date, elevating the film into something much more emotional and human.
