I would have to say Mamma Mia.
 
Looking over her IMDB, there isn't a lot of movies she's been in that I like.

I loved her in Death Becomes Her, Adaptation & Deer Hunter is a classic although I have my own issues with that movie in terms of pacing. She was excellent in Doubt, another movie I liked.

Other than that, she's either been in stuff that's too stuffy or simply not my style (Mamma Mia, Into the Woods)

One out of left field role that entertained me was playing the posh dime novelist in She-Devil. Haha entertaining piece of crap, that one is.

I think Cate Blanchett is much better and her movies are not a task to sit through like many of Streeps. Still , for me it goes:

1. Adaptation
2. Deer Hunter
3. Death Becomes Her )(my favorite of the bunch)
4. Doubt
5. She-Devil (haha extreme guilty pleasure)
 
1) Out of Africa
2) Sophie's Choice
3) Deer Hunter
4) Angels in America (tv adaptation)
5) Kramer v Kramer
6) The Devil Wears Prada
7) Silkwood
8) Postcards from the Edge
9) The Bridges of Madison County
10) The Hours
 
I still need to see her in The Post and I completely forgotten about Sophie's Choice.

Need to see The Post, it's got MS, TH and SS as the director, in theory, it should be movie-gold for me.
 
In no particular order:

The Deer Hunter
Out of Africa
A Prairie Home Companion
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Sophie's Choice
Kramer vs. Kramer
The French Lieutenant's Woman
Silkwood
Adaptation
The Hours
 
I don't think I've even seen 10 Meryl Streep movies, she's an actress that I think is extremely gifted technically, but she's maybe not as charismatic and is without as much range as Cate Blanchett and other modern day 'prestige' actresses, who aren't afraid to mix things up a little more.

Out out of those I have seen, I think these are my favourites, in no particular order:

Death Becomes Her
The Devil Wears Prada
Sophie's Choice
Marvin's Room (underrated movie and Streep performance)
The Hours
Mamma Mia
 
1. The Devil Wears Prada
2. The Bridges of Madison County
3. Out of Africa
4. Kramer vs Kramer
5. The River Wild
6. The Manchurian Candidate
7. Adaptation
8. The French Lieutenant's Woman
9. The Iron Lady
10.

I don't even like most of these. I don't think I've seen anything else of hers.
