Lately, Angelina has approached a few more serious looking films and has managed to be involved in the major awards. She is becoming a director and could be involved in the next awards season.
I must be honest, this is not one of my most impressive top 10 lists. That does not necessarily mean Jolie is a sub-standard actress, it maybe that she is in films that are not spectacular in my opinion. Thankfully, none of the films here I would consider bad, they are all pretty solid films and there are a few that I would recommend.
Out of her 43 films, I have seen 23 of them. I will rank all of my films and give a short review for each of my top 10:
23) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
22) Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life
21) Shark Tale
20) Alexander
19) The Tourist
18) Life Or Something Like It
17) Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil
16) Those Who Wish Me Dead
15) Maleficent
14) The Bone Collector
13) Beowulf
12) Mr. & Mr.s Smith
11) Salt
10) Kung Fu Panda 2 - New territory for Jolie and she is voicing an animated character in the sequel of Kung Fu Panda 2.
With a new villain trying to conquer China, it is up to Po and his friends to stop that from happening.
9) Gone In Sixty Seconds - Angelina's breakthrough performance that made her become the star she is today.
This is a highly enjoyable action flick about a master car thief coming out of retirement to pull off the ultimate heist and steal 50 particular cars in one night to save his brother's life.
8) Wanted - A pretty stylish looking action blockbuster.
It stars James McAvoy is a normal office worker who learns he is the son of a professional assassin.
Jolie plays as a member of the fraternity who are a dangerous group of assassins who train McAvoy's character to bend the bullet.
7) Kung Fu Panda 3 - Jolie jumps back into the voice of Tigress in the always enjoyable Kung Fu Panda series.
It sees lead character Po face two different threats whilst also searching for himself. Like with all Kung Fu Panda films, the visuals are terrific, the story flows nicely and has great kung-fu action. They are great family films and I will never get tired of seeing these.

It sees a group immortal beings reunite as the awakening of a celestial being could destroy the planet they helped build.
5) Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow - A film that I like a lot more then the majority.
It is fun action adventure story that is beautiful visual effects and has a great classic film-noir look to it in terms of the costumes.
There is a lot of imagination and has a great pace to it that I can watch again and again.
4) A Mighty Heart - Based on the true story of Mariane Pearl as she is the path to finding her lost husband who has gone missing in Pakistan.
It is an emotional story and Jolie plays the role really well.
You instantly feel for her character and it is quite a journey to witness.
3) Girl, Interrupted - An impactful drama about a writer's account of life in a mental hospital in the late 1960's.
In a nutshell, it is seen as a poor mans 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. But there is high-quality in James Mangold's feature.
The strongest aspect being Jolie's performance that earned a well deserved Oscar win.
2) Changeling - Probably Jolie's most successful films in terms of the major awards.
Nominated for 3 Oscars, 2 Golden Globes and 9 BAFTA's, this an impressive story that is wonderfully directed by Clint Eastwood.
Jolie plays a mother living in Hollywood searching for her lost son and is threatening to take on the LAPD for their incompetence.
1) Kung Fu Panda - Remember this being a huge surprise hit.
One of DreamWorks Animation's most successful films, it is a visually stunning, fun, action packed and surprisingly intelligent family film.
Jolie plays Tigress who is part of a martials arts clan finding peace in China.
The master of their clan brings in a Panda who he believes is the chosen one, but is a complete novice to the art of kung fu.
