During a time when Hollywood has tried to grasp onto older stars like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, other young men from a new generation have attempted to carve out their path to stardom and take the movie world by storm. In this regard, not many male actors working today have experienced the success of Timothee Chalamet. His gangly good looks and aw-shucks personality make him oddly charismatic in interviews and perfectly complement his ability on the big screen.
With a boyish grin and a sculpted jawline, Chalamet’s aura allows him to play characters in a variety of genres, from wounded teenagers in LGBTQ+ dramas to heroic protagonists in sci-fi flicks. Still under 30 years old, Chalamet’s career is just getting started, but he already has a grand portfolio of award-winning performances. These are the 10 best Timothee Chalamet movies ever, ranked.
13. Bones and All (2022)
12. Don't Look Up (2021)
11. The King (2019)
10. Wonka (2023)
9. Lady Bird (2017)
8. A Complete Unknown (2024)
7. Dune (2021)
Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic Dune is one of the biggest examples of the genre’s blockbuster staying power right now. Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, the hero tasked with taking the planet Arrakis for his people. Chalamet is typically in small dramatic films with mid-sized budgets, so the Dune franchise stands out as the sole big-budget series in his portfolio.
6. The French Dispatch (2021)
5. Beautiful Boy (2018)
4. Dune: Part Two (2024)
3. Interstellar (2014)
2. Call Me by Your Name (2017)
1. Little Women (2019)
