2. Erin Brockovich (2000)
In this movie, Roberts’ plays the role of a real-life feisty single mother who without any help single-handedly fights against a corporate giant and wins a complicated class action suit for many families. Since it was a real-life character, comparisons were inevitable and Roberts managed to rise above the challenge and expertly unfolded all the emotions of life including humor and compassion with earthly realism.
