From her breakout role in ’28 Days Later’ to her award-winning performance in ‘Moonlight,’ Naomie Harris has proven time and time again that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

You may have seen her in supporting roles, but Naomie Harris is a leading lady in her own right. With her striking looks, commanding presence, and powerful performances, Harris has proven time and again that she’s a force to be reckoned with on the big screen. Here are five movies that showcase her talent and make a strong case for why you need to see her in a starring role.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)

Harris shines as Tia Dalma, an Obeah priestess who helps Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, in his quest to find the heart of Davy Jones. Her performance is both mysterious and alluring, and she holds her own against some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. While the Pirates franchise may be known for its special effects and swashbuckling action, Harris’s performance adds a layer of depth and intrigue to the film.

28 Days Later (2002)

Released in 2002, this post-apocalyptic horror film follows Jim, a bicycle courier, who wakes up from a coma to find that the world has been ravaged by a virus that turns people into violent, bloodthirsty zombies. Harris delivers an outstanding performance as Selena, who is a strong, capable, and determined woman who will do whatever it takes to survive in this brutal new world. The chemistry between her and co-star Cillian Murphy is also worth noting, as they create a dynamic duo that is both believable and engaging.

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom (2013)

Harris gives a powerful performance as Winnie Mandela, the activist and ex-wife of Nelson Mandela, in this biographical drama. Her portrayal of a woman who is both fiercely committed to the anti-apartheid movement and struggling with her own personal demons earned her critical acclaim, and she held her own opposite the film’s lead, Idris Elba.

Skyfall (2012)

In this James Bond thriller, Harris plays Eve Moneypenny, a skilled MI6 agent who eventually becomes Bond’s secretary. Harris brings a sly wit and charm to the role, making her a standout among the film’s all-star cast. Her chemistry with Daniel Craig‘s Bond is palpable, and her performance is a key part of what makes Skyfall one of the best Bond films in recent memory.

Moonlight (2016)

In this coming-of-age drama, Harris plays Paula, the drug-addicted mother of the film’s protagonist, Chiron. Despite her character’s flaws, Harris brings a nuanced and empathetic performance to the role, portraying a woman who is struggling to cope with her own demons while trying to be there for her son. ‘Moonlight’ went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Harris’s performance was a key part of its success.

Naomie Harris is a talented and versatile actress who deserves more leading roles in Hollywood. These five movies showcase her range and power as an actress and prove that she is a force to be reckoned with on the big screen.
