In 1991, Moore starred as a lawyer in the horror comedy Nothing but Trouble, a murder suspect in the mystery thriller Mortal Thoughts, and a clairvoyant woman in the romantic comedy The Butcher's Wife. Mortal Thoughts, which co-starred Willis, was a "passion project" for Moore, who wanted a more challenging role following the success of Ghost and was particularly drawn to her character's New Jersey dialect.{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-04-14-ca-527-story.html |title=Movies : Demi Moore Is Now Bankable and the Boss : Sure, it’s great that "Ghost" propelled the actress into star territory, but being a producer gave her a different kind of power |work=Los Angeles Times |last=Dutka |first=Elaine |date=April 14, 1992 |access-date=March 31, 2025}} After the original director was fired and replaced by Alan Rudolph, she took it upon herself to mitigate the film's financial constraints, offering to pay overtime for the shooting.{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/demi-moore-best-movies-tv-shows-ranked-11688906 |title=The 15 best Demi Moore movies and TV shows ranked, from St. Elmos Fire to The Substance |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |last=Rife |first=Katie |date=March 2, 2025 |access-date=March 24, 2025}}

Moore received a {{USD|2.5 million|long=No}} fee to star in The Butcher's Wife, but later regretted making the film. It was noted that, during production, she was "catered to by an assistant, a dialogue coach, a masseuse, a psychic consultant, [her daughter]'s nanny, and a bodyguard […]—in addition to the standard-issue hairdresser, makeup person, and stand-in. She arrived for each morning's shoot in a limo and insisted on flying between locations by private plane." Screenwriter Ezra Litwak stated: "Demi is very much a movie star. Everything revolves around that fact. She knows what she wants and how to get it."

Moore's next roles —a lieutenant commander in Rob Reiner's A Few Good Men (1992), a morally tested wife in Adrian Lyne's Indecent Proposal (1993), and a sexually charged employer in Barry Levinson's Disclosure (1994)— raised her demand among studios.{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/article/1995/03/10/demi-moore-gets-payraise-and-other-actresses-benefit/ |title=Demi Moore gets a payraise, and other actresses benefit |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |last=Thompson |first=Anne |date=March 10, 1995 |access-date=March 24, 2025}} The three aforementioned films opened atop the box office and were blockbuster hits.{{cite web|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=demimoore.htm|title=Demi Moore Movie Box Office Results|website=Box Office Mojo|access-date=January 31, 2018|archive-date=March 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180304195440/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/people/chart/?id=demimoore.htm|url-status=live}} Producer Martin Shafer considered her to be "every bit as valuable as [her male counterparts]" and called her "the biggest female star in the world."

With her A-list status, some of Moore's film choices were the subject of widespread scrutiny. Her portrayal of Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter (1995), a "freely adapted" version of the historical romance novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was met with harsh disapproval.{{cite news|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=PG&p_theme=pg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EADF95DABA08749&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D|title=Demi's Debacle Now, The Actress Has to Get 'The Scarlet Letter' Off Her Back|work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|date=May 17, 1996|access-date=September 5, 2012|archive-date=November 22, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122215738/http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=PG&p_theme=pg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EADF95DABA08749&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D|url-status=live}} James Berardinelli found her to be "out of her depth" and noted that her "insufficient" range resulted in a "weak" performance.{{cite web |url=https://www.reelviews.net/reelviews/scarlet-letter-the |title=Scarlet Letter, The (United States, 1995) |work=Reel Views |last=Berardinelli |first=James |access-date=March 31, 2025}} She played an author with commitment issues in the coming-of-age drama Now and Then (1995), which she described as "more than just a film […] it was an adventure".{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/demi-moore-now-and-then-sequel-stars-reunite-elle-women-in-hollywood-event-1236068107/ |title=Demi Moore Pitches ‘Now and Then’ Sequel as Stars Reunite at Elle Women in Hollywood Event |work=The Hollywood Reporter |last=Chuba |first=Kirsten |date=November 20, 2024 |access-date=March 31, 2025}} Now and Then did not score with critics but found box office success and cult following.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/23/movies/now-and-then-anniversary.html |title='Now and Then' at 25: Girlhood Finally Taken Seriously |work=The New York Times |last=Kaplan |first=Ilena |date=October 12, 2020 |access-date=March 31, 2025 |url-access=subscription}}

After a leading role as a grieving novelist in the mystery thriller Half Light (2006), Moore reunited with Emilio Estevez for his drama Bobby (2006), about the hours leading up to the Robert F.

In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair under the title More Demi Moore. Annie Leibovitz shot the picture while Moore was seven months pregnant with her second child, Scout LaRue Willis, intending to portray "anti-Hollywood, anti-glitz" attitude.Anderson, Susan Heller.

The photograph was subject to numerous parodies, including the Spy Magazine version, which placed Moore's then-husband Bruce Willis's head on the body of a male model with a false belly. In Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., Leibovitz sued over one parody featuring Leslie Nielsen, made to promote the 1994 film Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. In the parody, the model's body was attached to what is described as "the guilty and smirking face" of Nielsen. The teaser said "Due this March."{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/20/nyregion/a-parody-of-a-pregnant-actress-stands-up-in-court.html|title=A Parody of a Pregnant Actress Stands Up in Court|access-date=February 19, 2008|work=The New York Times|date=December 20, 1996|author=Richardson, Lynda|archive-date=January 2, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102062229/http://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/20/nyregion/a-parody-of-a-pregnant-actress-stands-up-in-court.html|url-status=live}} The case was dismissed in 1996 because the parody relied "for its comic effect on the contrast between the original."
