Stepmom is the tale of three people. Jackie (Sarandon) and Luke (Harris) are a former couple with children who have since divorced. They’re struggling to keep their children happy during the divorce.

Enter Isabel, who is Luke’s new girlfriend and is now living with him. She tries hard to make the children feel comfortable around her but they rebuff her efforts and act rudely. Jackie doesn’t help matter much either, deriding Isabel and blaming her for the failure of Isabel’s marriage.

Then what seems like the worst thing happens: Luke proposes. Isabel becomes the stepmom. This causes more friction than the kids think they can deal with, as they want desperately for their parents to get back together. But the worst is yet to come, as Jackie learns that she has cancer and could possibly die from it. She goes through all the forms of depression and anger at Isabel, her family and herself.

But it’s here that the two women finally start to heal things. After arguing Isabel reveals that she admires Jackie’s maternal instincts, something she lacks, while Jackie admires Isabel’s ability to connect with daughter Anna in a way Jackie can - more as a friend than anything else. Soon they discover what they fear most is to be ostracized form the family, and in discovering as much realize they can work together to keep the family whole.

There is plenty keeping them from enjoying each other. Max is sophisticated and refined, while Nora enjoys beer and lives in a low-rent, messy house. They maintain a relationship, however - that is, until Nora learns that Max is keeping their relationship a secret (and, he thinks, a rather shameful one) from the upper-class circles that he’s used to socializing in.

Will the secret keep them from being together? Or can Max admit that he feels passionately towards the older woman regardless? Check it out and find out.

As Mom Racer Sarandon is one of two parent figures (the other provided by John Goodman as Pops Racer) to the titular Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch), a young man with racing in his blood. Sarandon’s character does her best to sooth out problems in the family and keep them together through times of trouble, and she plays the part of matriarch with her usual skill.

But foul forces want Speed to race for them, and when he refuses to sell out his father’s company Speed and his family must work hard to dodge the bullets of slander and race their way through a series of increasingly deadly tracks.

Will Speed survive? Well, it’s a family movie, so probably. But there’s only one way to find out.

Their eyes meet.

What happens next?

Well, dating, and lots of it. The two have been a couple since meeting in 1988 (which would make this their twentieth year together – pretty impressive for a Hollywood couple), and despite having never married they seem perfectly happy together.

In fact Robbins was the director of Dead Man Walking, a prison drama that reunited Sarandon with one of her old flames, acclaimed actor Sean Penn. Penn played a convict sentenced to death and Sarandon a nun looking to provide comfort to him, and, ultimately, to discover if he actually committed the crime he’s accused of. It must have made for a slightly weird love triangle on the set, even though it was 11 years after Sarandon and Penn had broken up.

But did you know that these two actors are intertwined in not one but two ways? The first – and later instance – was during Dead Man Walking, in which Sarandon plays a nun and Penn an inmate waiting on death row for murder. The movie is an occasionally disturbing drama.

More, though, did you know they dated? Prior to the movie? It’s true. Not for long, mind you, but they did. More than 10 years prior, in fact. Quite a way to reunite the two, isn’t it?

As Irresistible Susan Sarandon opens Sarandon plays Sophie Hartley, a woman convinced that she is being stalked by the co-worker of her husband, played by Sam Neill. The co-worker, played by Emily Blunt, provides no evidence of this to anybody outside Hartley herself, and Hartley begins thinking that maybe she’s just delusional. She has no proof of her claims that the co-worker is a stalker – or does she? What she discovers is more horrifying than what she ever could have imagined, and leads to an epic ending that will leave chills running up and down your spine.

Definitely not a film for kids, Irresistible is the answer to that age-old question, “What should we go out and rent tonight?”

Not much different, in fact, from when she played a bisexual vampire in the 1983 film The Hunger, alongside Susan Sarandon and David Bowie.
Confused? This isn’t a joke; it’s real.

Deneuve plays Miriam Blaylock, a vampire seductress who offers immortality to those who want to act as her human consorts through the ages. Bowie acts out this part as an 18th century celloist; but he is beginning the feel the effects of aging, however slowed they might be, and seeks out Sarandon to try and stop his rapid descent into old age. What follows is a vampire tale with a number of bizarre twists which, though critically panned, has since emerged as a cult classic among fans.

Here is the most famous scene from The Hunger that Catherine Deneuve & Susan Sarandon star in:
