12. Evita (1996)

Starring Madonna in her most acclaimed role, Evita is the story of the rise and legacy of Eva Perón, Argentina's First Lady. Alan Parker directed this film, which brings Andrew Lloyd Webber's celebrated stage production to life with grandeur and emotional depth. The performance by Madonna, particularly in "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," earned praise and a Golden Globe. Political drama is wonderfully married with a show of scintillating music numbers as this movie casts an evocative glance at Perón's mixed legacy. Ambition and the price that goes with power have been etched in a masterpiece called Evita.
