Birthday Tribute: Scenes from Cher’s movies!

Once I started, I could not stop!

Was only going to feature a handful of Cher movies but what fun it was to include almost all of them. Decided to leave out Faithful, Good Times and Chastity but found delicious stuff in all of the others.

Of course we start with the Oscar-winning performance in Moonstruck, Oscar-nominated performance in Silkwood, Cannes Film Festival best actress winning performance in Mask, and Golden Globe-nominated performances in Come Back to the Five and Dime Jimmy Jean Jimmy Dean and If These Walls Could Talk.

Cher has some wonderful moments in The Witches of Eastwick, was solid in Suspect, delicious in Mermaids and all kinds of fun in Stuck on You as an extremely fictionalized version of herself.

Looking back, we wish Cher had made more movies – especially during the time when she turned down such films as Thelma & Louise and War of the Roses. But rock stardom and endless arena tours were clearly more exciting than sitting around waiting to be called to the movie set.

Which is your favorite Cher movie?
