Great or good movies with Julia Stiles?

So I've come to appreciate this actress because she feels unique and different from the rest but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of great films she's starred in. I remember her on the Dexter series but tbh, it should've ended by the fourth season.

Movies I've seen starring Julia Stiles:
- 10 Things I Hate About You (loved it)
- A Guy Thing (same as above)

Movies I plan on watching:
- The Great Gilly Hopkins
- The Makeover
- Carolina
- Wide Awake

This list is a bit too small so hope some Julia fan can enlighten me.

You mentioned some of the good ones - I would say top 3 are the Bourne movies, then there's one called The Devil's Own, she only plays a minor role in it and it's not that great. But she's like 15. And I kind of liked Wicked.
Needless to say Save the Last Dance and 10 Things are the most successful and pretty good too.

Try State and Main and Business of Strangers, if you can find them.

I didn't like the Prince and Me, Down to You, and Hamlet... But that's just my opinion

The Bourne Trilogy - Amazing films, she plays minor role in the first but her role gets bigger each sequel
Save The Last Dance - Often considered her signature movie besides 10 Things, for good reason, brilliantly written and a her performance was beautiful
Business of Strangers - Underrated indie movie, great performance by Julia
State and Main - Great comedy
O - Great teen update on Othello
The Cry of the Owl - weird movie but she was great
Silver Linings Playbook -great film though her part is minor
The Omen remake - often despised but I enjoyed it.
Out of the Dark - a decent horror film.
