## Summary

Collider has published a ranking of Amy Adams's ten greatest film performances, arguing that the actress is best known to mainstream audiences as Lois Lane in the DC Extended Universe, but that this largely reactive role has never showcased her true range. The list instead highlights films that placed Adams in more demanding, layered lead or supporting parts, framing her as one of Hollywood's most consistently strong performers.

The article notes Adams has received six Academy Award nominations across her career and cites films including "Enchanted" (2007), in which she plays a sincere fairy-tale princess adrift in modern New York; "American Hustle" (2013), for which she earned a Best Actress nomination playing a con artist juggling multiple false identities; and "The Fighter" (2010), her first collaboration with director David O. Russell, which brought a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role as a fiercely protective girlfriend.
