Perhaps no actor is having a bigger 2026 than Anne Hathaway. She’s already starred in a hit sequel to one of her most popular movies (“The Devil Wears Prada 2”), and this week she plays a key supporting role in what may be the most anticipated movie of the summer, Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” She’s also starred in David Lowery’s arthouse drama “Mother Mary,” with dinosaur thriller “The End of Oak Street” and Colleen Hoover adaptation “Verity” still on the way.Those are just the latest fascinating projects for a talented actress who may have gotten her start as a Disney princess, but has spent the past two decades demonstrating her impressive range. While her biggest hits, including the “Princess Diaries” and “Devil Wears Prada” movies, may not always represent her best work, she’s delivered masterful performances in major blockbusters and quirky indie films.Here are my ranked picks for the best Anne Hathaway movies and where to stream them right now.7. ‘Brokeback Mountain’

One of Hathaway’s first mature roles after her initial family-friendly princess phase, this Oscar-winning drama helped establish her as a serious actress who could take on complex material. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal get most of the attention as a pair of 1960s cowboys who have to hide their decades-long affair with each other, but Hathaway and Michelle Williams deliver equally heartbreaking performances as the wives who become collateral damage of a homophobic society.Hathaway’s Lureen Newsome is an outgoing rodeo queen who seems to feel genuine passion for Gyllenhaal’s Jack Twist, but she turns cold over time, as she endures Jack’s many “hunting and fishing” trips to spend time with his lover Ennis Del Mar (Ledger). Hathaway conveys all of Lureen’s years of acrimony in a single phone call with Ennis, in one of the movie’s most powerful and devastating moments.Watch on Hulu6. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
