Default What is Nicole Kidmans best film?

I've been working my way through the Desert Island Discs archive* podcast and I've just listened to the one with Nicole Kidman.

I've never really rated her but I feel the need to watch a film with her in it. Which is her best film, what do you recommend?

*A great archive, see here

The Others is very good. She was also excellent in Cold Mountain.

For all of five seconds yes.

Best performance in my opinion would probably be Dead Calm or To Die For.

EDIT: I've not seen it but she got good reviews for playing Virginia Wolf in the The Hours.

She is really good in that, in fact better than i ever expected.

In terms of performance...I would say

Dogville and The Hours.

In terms of a entertaining movie, I would say The Others being her best movie.

There is also Cold Mountain too which is great, but her performance in The Others stands out in my memory.
