Rest in peace, Diane Keaton. On October 11, a Keaton family spokesperson confirmed to People that the legendary actor and style icon had died, withholding any further details and calling for privacy “in this moment of great sadness.”

Throughout her life, Keaton’s sharp comedic timing and grounded emotional performances made her a prolific muse for Hollywood’s most prominent filmmakers across genres, from Francis Ford Coppola and Nancy Meyers. Off-screen, she defied expectations for Hollywood’s leading ladies, cementing her position as a red carpet disruptor through her affinity for exaggerated tailoring and whimsical takes on menswear, including a vast collection of bowler hats and oversized neckties.

Since her on-screen debut in 1970’s Lovers and Other Strangers, Keaton starred in several of Hollywood’s most seminal films, from The Godfather (1972) and it’s successors to comedies like the Book Club franchise to rom-coms like Something’s Gotta Give (2003), which earned the actor one of her four Academy Award nominations. Of course, Keaton took home the Oscar for best actress in 1977 for her role in Annie Hall, one of her many collaborative efforts with controversial filmmaker Woody Allen.

It’s impossible to narrow down Keaton’s breadth of work to a handful of roles that define her impact on cinema, fashion, and American culture as a whole. Instead, here are just four of her most comforting, cozy projects to watch in her honor tonight and in perpetuity.

Something’s Gotta Give (2003)

In Something’s Gotta Give, Keaton stars opposite Jack Nicholsan as the skeptical mother of his character’s much younger girlfriend. Of course, neither of them expect to fall in love when he’s forced to recover from a heart attack under her roof. The film also stars Keanu Reeves as Keaton’s other love interest, while Amanda Peete plays her daughter.

The First Wives Club (1996)

Who wouldn’t want to watch Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn give their ex-husbands hell for an hour and 45 minutes? Directed by Hugh Wilson, The First Wives Club also stars Maggie Smith, Stockard Channing, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Family Stone (2005)

Comfort means different things to different people, and my version of comfort regularly involves watching a dysfunctional family be on their worst behavior in front of a potential new member during the holidays. The movie would not be nearly as impactful without Keaton, who portrayed the family matriarch with nuance, humor, and vulnerability.

Baby Boom (1987)

A deeper Diane Keaton cut, Baby Boom follows J.C. Wiatt (Keaton), a badass business woman who has motherhood thrust upon her following an unexpected death in the family. Written by Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, the film about balancing responsibilities as a working mother still hits home for many viewers 38 years later.
