It’s hard to overstate how much of a Hollywood icon Julia Roberts is. A movie star in every sense of the word, she has a graceful, warm, and magnetic presence that permeates all of her roles, from "Steel Magnolias" to the "Oceans" trilogy to "Mona Lisa Smile" and "Erin Brockovich," which earned her an Academy Award in 2001. Above all, however, Roberts made a name for herself through her decades-spanning work in the beloved, albeit sometimes disparaged, romantic comedy genre. She has proven an essential ingredient in turning seemingly basic and cheesy stories into fully engrossing, highly successful films. To celebrate her newest rom-com lead role in about 20 years, TIME watched and ranked every entry in the expansive Julia Roberts Romantic Comedy Cinematic Universe.
