Netflix’s latest Harlan Coben thriller, Run Away, is all the rage and for a good reason. The series is packed with jaw-dropping twists and unbelievable truths that kept the viewers hooked till the end. The performance that took home the cake was delivered by Minnie Driver.

While the series has only eight episodes for now, Driver on the other hand, has a colourful entourage of titles in her filmography; one of them being an Oscar winner.

Good Will Hunting is a 1997 film starring some of Hollywood’s most recognizable names, including Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The story follows the life of Will Hunting, a janitor whose extraordinary mathematical talent is discovered by an MIT professor. In this movie, Minnie Driver plays Skylar, a Harvard University student who plans to attend Stanford. 

Her heartfelt performance is a brilliant addition to this emotional film, making it the right film to kick off the list.

There have been several adaptations of The Phantom of the Opera, but Minnie Driver’s performance can be found in the 2004 version. The musical romantic drama follows a Parisian opera house preparing for a performance of Hannibal. 

Minnie Driver as soprano Carlotta Giudicelli showed her versatility, and this is why the version is a must-watch.

Return to Me (2000) is a romantic comedy with a flair for poetic mischief: David Duchovny plays a widower who falls for a woman carrying more than emotional baggage, she has his late wife’s transplanted heart. Minnie Driver, as Grace Briggs, supplies the borrowed heartbeat and the film’s tender irony, proving that in matters of love, even death sometimes refuses to have the last word.

The film is about fate, loss, and the power of second chances in love.

The Beekeeper is yet another genre shift that Minnie Driver handles with ease. The 2024 action thriller follows a quiet beekeeper who is pulled into drama after a shocking incident changes everything. Minnie Driver plays the role of the Director of the CIA, Janet Harward.

After Run Away, this is another intriguing thriller for fans looking to see Minnie Driver in a very different light.

Last but not least, Minnie Driver shows her talent as a voice actress by lending her voice to Jane Porter in Tarzan. Jane Porter is the main female character and Tarzan’s love interest in Disney’s 1999 animated film Tarzan. 

If Minnie Driver’s subtle vocal performance went unnoticed before, now might be the right time to rewatch the film.

From thrillers to heartfelt movies and even animation, Minnie Driver’s impressive resume shows that she can effortlessly wear many hats and nail every one of them. Her performance in Run Away is just a reminder of that talent.
