You’ve probably (okay, definitely) seen Father of the Bride, but Keaton is especially good in the film’s sequel, which finds her character, Nina Banks, unexpectedly pregnant at the same time as her daughter, Annie. The chemistry between Keaton and Steve Martin as nervous dad George Banks? Electric!
Hanging Up (2000)
Directed by Keaton herself, this film—based on Delia Ephron’s 1995 novel of the same name and adapted for the screen by Delia and Nora Ephron—stars Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow as a trio sisters and, poignantly enough, Walter Matthau, in his final film role, as their curmudgeonly father. While the film didn’t exactly receive rave reviews at the time of its release, it’s a portrait of the simultaneous beauty and pain of family life that’s well worth revisiting.
