5 Must-See Jennifer Connelly Movies From the 1990s & Where to Watch Them
The Dark Matter actress had a very solid head start.
Over the course of the last few years people’s interest in Jennifer Connelly’s titles has certainly rekindled, as the actress starred in TNT’s Snowpiercer and AppleTV’s Dark Matter, and both became huge hits.
It’s high time to recall how Connely rose to fame in her youth, back in the 1990s, with 5 of her best movies of that decade being listed right here.
1. Dark City (1998)
Where to watch: Prime
First of all, there is a hidden sci-fi treasure that was outshined by the success of The Matrix, but then got reassessed due to its concept and impeccable visuals.
Exploring the themes of simulated realities and memories, it follows an amnesiac man who wakes up in a mysterious town to find out he has a wife named Emma (played by Connelly).
2. Inventing The Abbotts (1997)
Where to watch: Prime and AppleTV+
Next is a star-studded period flick that focuses on two working class brothers who vie for the affections of three wealthy and beautiful sisters. Set in the 1950s, it blends not only period drama, but also coming-of-age comedy and has the Snowpiercer star playing the wildest of the sisters whose fate is both shocking and hilarious.
3. The Rocketeer (1991)
Where to watch: Disney+ and Prime
This fantasy film’s plot revolves around an ill-mannered stunt pilot whose jetpack grants him the ability to fly, though it leads him in trouble eventually. It’s a charming retro sci-fi where Connely portrays an aspiring actress, whose romantic relationship with the titular hero makes this movie a must-watch alone.
4. The Hot Spot (1990)
Where to watch: Prime and AppleTV+
By mixing neo-noir, romance and thriller elements, this gem puts the actress in the role of a femme fatale for whom Don Johnson’s protagonist heavily falls. The point is that he’s also sleeping with the wife of the local businessman and, besides, is planning to rob a bank. Both his scheme and affairs go horribly wrong, and we bet it’s a must-watch.
5. Career Opportunities (1991)
Where to watch: Prime
Last comes a light-hearted romcom about a man who takes up a job at a local Target store and then spends the night shift with Connely’s spoiled rich girl who falls asleep in there. This premise can seem quite silly, but be sure it’s a cute flick for an evening chill.
