American Hustle
Directed by David O. Russell, the 2013 film American Hustle featured Jennifer Lawrence as the wife of Christian Bale's character, a man whose dabbles in loan-sharking and forgery changes, but when his wife then enters the picture, it causes everything to fall apart.
American Hustle also features Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams.
Don't Look Up
Lawrence teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio in the hit film. Their characters, both astronauts, try to save humanity from an approaching comet they both discover.
"This movie came from my burgeoning terror about the climate crisis and the fact that we live in a society that tends to place it as the fourth or fifth news story, or in some cases even deny that it's happening, and how horrifying that is, but at the same time preposterously funny," the movie's creator, Adam McKay, told Entertainment Weekly.
Joy
Joy, directed and written by Russell, explores the life of self-made millionaire Joy Mangano, who savors wealth after launching her business empire. But her fortune comes with negative things as she suffers betrayal, heartbreak, treachery and more, which challenges her as a person and a businesswoman.
Cooper, Robert De Niro, Édgar Ramirez, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen, Dascha Polanco and Elisabeth Röhm also appeared in the flick.

The film won the Campy Flick of the Year at the Dorian Awards and the Trippiest Movie of the Year at the Golden Schmoes Awards.
