Kenneth Branagh’s all-star revival of the classic Agatha Christie murder mystery gives us a traditional exotic cross-section of high society (with picturesque servants and bits of rough) on board the snowed-in Orient Express, on which someone has been whacked. The film has Pfeiffer in one of her late-career grande dame roles: the manhunting America...
The sole Shakespeare on the Pfeiffer CV (it is a shame that she hasn’t done more, maybe Gertrude or Volumnia). At any rate, she is a gentle and serenely charming Titania in Michael Hoffman’s version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which updates the action to 19th-century Tuscany. She is queenly and self-possessed, with a British accent that puts the ...
Pfeiffer returned to Hollywood after a five-year family break with this film (and Stardust, below) and it signalled a new career phase of character parts, comedy roles and wicked-witch turns. Here, in a remake of John Waters’s Hairspray of 1988, she plays the ruthless dragon-lady and former beauty queen Velma Von Tussle, the gimlet-eyed TV station ...
One of Pfeiffer’s “witchy” roles, but atypical in that it is from her starry heyday. It is a wackily OTT fantasy comedy based on John Updike’s novel, which perhaps reveals much about how Updike saw himself. Pfeiffer plays one of three single and discontented women (with Cher and Susan Sarandon) in Eastwick, Rhode Island, who have their own little c...
This ornate Gilliam-esque fantasy, taken from Neil Gaiman’s novel, was the other film that brought Pfeiffer back to the screen in 2007. Despite being a bit overwrought, it gave Pfeiffer a perfectly decent showcase in the witchy role of Lamia, a British-voiced sorceress who is on a fanatical mission to find the source of eternal youth. She relished ...
Why on earth shouldn’t Pfeiffer find her career third act in superhero films (along with Michael Douglas, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart etc)? In Ant-Man and the Wasp, with Paul Rudd as Ant-Man and Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp, Pfeiffer plays Janet, the mysterious mother of Lilly’s character, Hope. Janet has to be rescued after miniaturising herself...
Pfeiffer’s second pairing with Nicholson on this list. Both in their 90s superstarry pomp, they find themselves in a ripe high-concept fantasy: a rare, perhaps unique, example of “romantic horror” that can claim to be an ancestor of the Twilight series. Pfeiffer plays Laura, the pert daughter of the wealthy mogul who takes over a publishing house a...
Here, improbably, was the movie that gave Pfeiffer her big break. In the much yawned-at sequel to Grease, she takes on the role of Stephanie, the uber-blond chick and leader of the Pink Ladies, enamoured of bikers and Freudianly singing of her yearning for a “Cool Rider”. It is hardly new to complain that the actors in the Grease movies were too ol...
A big and self-consciously serious role for Pfeiffer as the inspirational teacher in a tough school with a class full of disadvantaged African American and Latinx pupils. Such a role is always a little preposterous, and nowadays film-makers are warier of “white saviour” narratives, but this film makes things even hokier by making Pfeiffer a Marine ...
Whatever else you say about it, this was the movie that gave Pfeiffer a scene with David Bowie, who had a bad-guy cameo. Into the Night is an example of a recurring Pfeiffer persona: the mobster or mobster’s girlfriend, a type she plays with entertaining gusto, her refined beauty contrasting well with her gum-chewing, wise-ass criminality. John Lan...
