 | Little Children
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $1.82 Kate Winslet's most steamy role. She plays Sarah Pierce, a bored American housewife with both intellect and a romantic soul who falls for a handsome "househusband" played by Patrick Wilson. The film is a mixture of black comedy and very real drama.

 | Heavenly Creatures
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.70 One of Kate Winslet's early roles and certainly the most unnerving. She plays Juliet Hulme, a young British girl living in New Zealand in the 1950s who strikes up an obsessively close friendship with a local girl with tragic results. The movie is noteworthy for the special effects of the fantasy world the two girls create which are both spectacular and menacing.
