Emily Blunt Movies

Want to know the best Emily Blunt movies?  How about the worst Emily Blunt movies?  Curious about Emily Blunt box office grosses or which Emily Blunt movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Emily Blunt movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

If you would have told me after seeing Emily Blunt (1983-) in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, that she would become an action movie star….I would have thought you were crazy.  Well that is exactly what has happened over the last decade.  Blunt has easily moved from romantic comedies to action movies. This transformation started with the little seen hit man movie Wild Target (2010).  She then helped Matt Damon in 2011’s The Adjustment Bureau.  Her movies…Looper (2012) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014) are two of the best time travel action movies ever made.  Most recently her role as a FBI agent taking on a Mexican drug cartel in Sicario has floored critics.  So I figured it was time to take a closer look at the very interesting movie career of Emily Blunt (plus I got a request to do a Blunt movie page).

Her IMDb page shows 39 acting credits from 2003-2017. This page will rank 25 Emily Blunt movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos and movies that were not released in North American theaters were not included in the rankings.  To do well in our rankings a movie has to do well at the box office, get good reviews by critics, be liked by audiences and get some award recognition.

  1. Added Steve’s Emily Blunt Video To The Page. Our Comments on his Video Channel.

    “Very cool. Emily Blunt is having a very good year, that might end up with an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Seen all of the 20s with the exception of #23 Wind Chill. No favorites here. Seen all the movie ranked 19th through 11th with the exception of The Jane Austen Book Club. I liked #14 Wild Target…a fun movie. #17 Girl on a Train was an ok thriller. Top 10…seen 8. Surprised her Devil Wears Prada (10th) is not higher….the women in the house really like that movie. #6 Mary Poppins Returns…have not seen it….but 6 members of my family are going to see it a couple of hours. #5 A Quiet Place was good but not great. Love both of her Top 2….Looper is currently Bruce’s last great movie…and Edge of Tomorrow is probably my favorite Tom Cruise movie. So that is 21 seen….or 84% of her movies. Nice video. Voted up and shared.”

    1. Hi Bruce, your tally 21, mine 12. The top 2 could have gone either way the scores were close. My favorites include – The Wolfman, Sicario, The Adjustment Bureau, A Quiet Place, Looper and Edge of Tomorrow.

      I’ll catch Mary Poppins Returns on blu-ray probably at Easter, the reviews were good but the box office not impressive. They’re all lining up to see Aquaman instead.

      The Devil Wear Prada scored 7.0 on my video and 7.1 on your Emily chart, not much different and it’s lower on your chart too. 🙂 Thanks again for the comment, vote and share, much appreciated.

  2. EMILY BLUNT STATS 1/Personal Net worth $25 million
    2/17 acting awards and 79 nominations since acting debut 2003.
    3/Output- 34 movies, 11 TV outings, 4 stage /1 radio appearances..
    4/Cogerson adjusted domestic gross $1.28 billion, average $45 million per movie
    5/ Emily has had not much “Work Horse Love” in respect of her stardom status, not considered for inclusion in his Top 25 Female Actress 1950-2010.

    Best POSTERS in your video from my viewpoint are (1) Wind Chill (2) 2nd one for Arthur Newman (3) Gnomeo (4) 1st one for Wolfman (5) 2nd one for 5 year Engagement (6) Huntsman (7) foreign language one for Into the Woods (8) Girl on the Train (9) Salmon Fish (10) Young Victoria (11) A Quiet Place (12) Sicario (13) 1st one for Looper (14) both ones for Edge of Tomorrow (15) Wild Thing and (16) 2nd one for Mary Poppins Returns – you’re certainly up to date there

    I most enjoyed these STILLS (1) Huntsman (2) Into the Woods (3) Sunshine Cleaning (4) The Master Wears Prada (5) VERY racy one for Charlie Wilson’s War (6) with Matt Damon (7) Young Vicky (8) Sicario (9) with Cruise and (10) Emily with rifle, looking more menacing than Statham ever could [her next movie Jungle Cruise is with The Rock].

    I find Emily to be one physically-appealing lady so your video is a great treat but I was surprised that my notes add up to a 98 % rating for such a relatively short video. However whilst I usually like the majority of your posters and stills I highlight only those pictorials that have appealed to me the most and as you will see from above that’s a high 64% of the posters in Emily’s case so well done there. You and WH agree on 5 of Emily’s Top 6 best reviewed flicks, though Work Horse’s stats table hasn’t yet caught up with Myrna Poppins Returns, your No 6. He’s probably awaiting 1st rash of grosses.

    1. Hi Bob, thanks for reviewing and rating my Emily Blunt video, appreciate the info and stats. Glad you liked the picture gallery.

      Emily was much in the news recently thanks to the return of Mary Poppins, and she was born in London, so I thought it would make a nice finish to my Best of the Brits series of videos. Some time next year I’ll carry on with more Brits, old and new.

      A few days ago I started a special video on Xmas movies, if I finish it today I’ll post a link on Bruce’s Xmas page. I’ve included classic and modern movies.

      Incidentally the last still on Blunt’s video is from Edge of Tomorrow, in case you’re wondering what film that was.

      Only Looper scored 10 out of 10 from my sources, though it wasn’t enough to take the top spot from Edge of Tomorrow (the original Japanese novel was titled ‘All You Need is Kill’). Both films feature a form of time travel.

      One film scored 9 – Charlie Wilson’s War. And 10 more scored 8 out of 10.

      Edge of Tomorrow was no.1 at both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.

      No.1 on Bruce’s Emily Blunt chart is Looper, Edge of Tomorrow is 4th on there.

      Emily on Tom Cruise – “He’s got that magnetism and charisma of the old school Hollywood stars. He really knows acting. He knows what he’s doing. People go absolutely crazy for him. He genuinely loves people. He loves meeting them. He wants to connect with them even if it’s hundreds of thousands. He’d be on there for hours if he could.”

      Emily on Mary Poppins – “I remembered how incredible the original one was as a child. I have memories of it but I decided while prepping this not to watch it and try not to get embroiled in it too much, because I think my feeling was if I’m going to play Mary Poppins, I have to take a really big swing and do my own version of her. I didn’t want to try and emulate what Julie Andrews did.”

      1. HI STEVE

        Thanks for the detailed response to my Emily Blunt post.

        My daughter and my 2 grandchildren of hers are going to see Return of Myrna Poppins tonight and I was invited to accompany them but unfortunately I had made other social arrangements. When I do get around to seeing it that could be a bitter-sweet experience because of course Dick Van Dyke [one of my favourite TV stars] was in the original – and indeed I think you told me he got panned for his Cockney accent! I am though keen to see WH’s box office prediction for Poppins if he makes one.

        Those are interesting comments about Tom Cruise from Emily. Certainly he must have thought highly of her in turn because he allowed her to share top billing with him above the title in Edge of Tomorrow. He usually has it in his contract that he is to be billed alone above the title and indeed would not allow Gene Hackman for one to be exempt from that rule when they made The Firm together back in the 1990s.

        I look forward to your Christmas video link. Meanwhile have a good weekend and an even better Christmas!.

        1. Hey Bob and Steve or Steve and Bob….Mary Poppins Returns is now on the page. I am actually surprised it is not doing better in theaters…I thought it was going to be a $100,000,000 opener….instead it is in the 25 million range.

      2. Hey Bob and Steve….falling behind everywhere. Two videos behind at Steve’s You Tube channel. Just finished my first new UMR page in about a week. Many many comments behind. Christmas cookie shopping needed to do. In-laws are visiting from Alabama. About to head to New York so we will be the in-laws visiting. This Christmas break is started off so hectic. Good breakdowns on Blunt and Blanchetts’ careers.
