Here are Cinephile Corner’s picks for the 14 best Robert Pattinson movies, ranked:
14. Cosmopolis (2012)
13. Mickey 17 (2025)
Following up Parasite was never going to be easy for Bong Joon-ho. The 2019 film was a global phenomenon, breaking language barriers at the Academy Awards and cementing Bong as one of the most exciting directors of his generation. With Mickey 17, his first film since that historic win, he dives headfirst into sci-fi, adapting Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel Mickey7 with an all-star cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo, and Toni Collette.
12. The Rover (2014)
11. Die My Love (2025)
The highs in Die My Love are undeniable, and the lows are confusing. Lynne Ramsay adapts Ariana Harwicz’s novel with a bold, fevered intensity, centering Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a new mother sliding from postpartum depression into psychosis. Robert Pattinson plays Jackson, the husband whose growing absence turns their home into a pressure cooker. The two leads meet the film at its temperature, and Lawrence gives one of her sharpest performances in years.
10. Primetime (2026)
I was born in 2000, so saying I even vaguely remember the cultural impact in the moment of To Catch a Predator would probably be an overstatement, but that distance made me especially curious about what Lance Oppenheim might uncover underneath the nostalgia. Instead, I was underwhelmed by how straight-to-story this is as a movie about the making of the show rather than a movie about the psyches, egos, and cultural forces that brought it to life. With that said, Robert Pattinson does everything he possibly can to make Chris Hansen smug, obsessive, and aggressively dedicated to turning To Catch a Predator into the biggest thing since Lost, and he is very good at it.
9. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
8. High Life (2018)
7. Tenet (2020)
6. The Lighthouse (2019)
5. The Drama (2026)
Kristoffer Borgli has quickly become one of the great conceivers of hooks for films. A single-sentence elevator pitch for each of his releases is enough to generate buzz and attract high-profile talent, from everyone in the world seeing Nicholas Cage’s character in their dreams on the same night in Borgli’s delirious Dream Scenario, to his latest Zendaya and Robert Pattinson-led The Drama, about a seemingly perfect couple’s life being uprooted mere days before their wedding because of an innocent enough game of “What’s the Worst Thing You’ve Ever Done?”
4. The Batman (2022)
The Batman is a complete reimagining of superhero genre tropes. A moody noir piece backed by a haunting score and Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader, Matt Reeves’ 2022 blockbuster rewrites what’s possible for these genre films. John Turturro plays infamous crime lord Carmine Falcone in a performance that really takes shape in the second half of the film.
3. The Odyssey (2026)
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. There are certain movies that feel almost titanic as they happen. It was only a matter of time before someone adapted The Odyssey on a grand scale. And after Dunkirk further proved Nolan’s mastery of large-scale historical filmmaking, and Oppenheimer cemented him as arguably the most important blockbuster filmmaker working today, Homer’s epic felt like the biggest fish left in the pond.
2. The Lost City of Z (2016)
1. Good Time (2017)
