The Best Demi Moore Movies and Shows and Where to Stream Them
Demi Moore has had quite a career in Hollywood. She initially gained fame as a member of the '80s Brat Pack, then went on to star in massive blockbuster hits, and now, four decades later, she’s leading award-winning movies and TV series. From earning an Oscar nomination for The Substance to portraying the real-life Ann Woodward, here are Demi Moore’s best movies and TV series. All of them can be found on popular streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+
If someone told you that you could be young and beautiful…how far would you go to get it? That’s the question asked by the Oscar-winning film The Substance. In the movie, Moore plays an aging actress who is desperate to remain relevant in the ageist and sexist world of show business. What she does to achieve it will (and trust me here) absolutely shock and disgust you. There’s a reason Demi scored an Oscar nomination for her role and also won a SAG Award, Golden Globe, and a Critics’ Choice Award.
Moore was joined by fellow Brat Pack alum Molly Ringwald in the second season of the hit FX series Feud. In this season, the show tackles the drama between author Truman Capote and his circle of wealthy socialites and celebutantes. But things go awry for Capote when he turns the ladies against him, ultimately destroying his career and reputation…the catalyst for the alcoholism and drug addiction that later took his life. In the show, Moore portrays Ann Woodward, who Capote accused of being a murder, which launched the epic feud between him and the Swans.
Ghost was the highest-grossing movie of 1990 and followed a young woman (Moore) who grapples with the murder of her boyfriend (Patrick Swayze). But her life gets turned upside down when a psychic (fantastically played by Whoopi Goldberg) tells her she’s receiving messages from her dead boyfriend, and that she’s in danger. Ghost scored five Oscar nominations and two wins, one for Goldberg’s career-defining performance and the other for Best Screenplay.
Another one of Moore’s Brat Pack hits is About Last Night, where she once again co-starred with Rob Lowe. In the film, the two play young lovers who begin a relationship. What follows is a series of highs and lows that puts their relationship through the ultimate test. The movie also starred Megan Mullally in one of her earliest roles.
You’ve probably heard the quote, “You can’t handle the truth!” – but maybe you didn’t know that it comes from the film A Few Good Men. The movie follows the aftermath of a mysterious murder of a marine and the investigation that follows. A Few Good Men received four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Joining Moore in the cast were Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, among many others.
Yep, Demi Moore is in the iconic 1996 animated Disney film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And she doesn’t just have a supporting role, she’s the voice of Esmeralda herself. The movie is notable for having a much more complex and emotional plot than other 90s Disney movies, and it was well-received by critics.
In the seminal Brat Pack classic St. Elmo’s Fire, a group of recent college grads navigate love and friendship in their new roles as young adults. The film stars tons of Brat Pack icons, with Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, and Judd Nelson all joining Moore in the cast. For many Gen Xers, the movie remains an important part of their young lives.
Indecent Proposal sees a couple, Diana and David (Moore and Woody Harrelson), lose everything…and then get a strange proposal from a Las Vegas high roller. If he can spend one night with Diana, he’ll give the couple $1 million. Despite negative reviews, the film scored over $266 million at the box office, thanks to its juicy and salacious story that you can’t turn away from.
2007’s Mr. Brooks stars Kevin Costner as a serial killer on the loose. Moore plays the lead detective on the case, and the film walks a delicate tightrope between horror, suspense, and drama. Fans of smart horror movies like The Silence of the Lambs will really enjoy the smart, tense, cat-and-mouse-chase created in Mr. Brooks.
Set in West Texas, Landman follows the drama of the Lone Star State’s oil boom and how various landowners and oil companies fought for territory, money, and influence. The show is basically like someone combined Yellowstone with Dallas, so anyone who loves a good primetime soap should check it out.
