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. This list missed one: Irresistible (2006), Australian thriller with Susan Sarandon and Sam Neill, Emily Blunt is third-billed and featured in the poster.

    1. Hey Cameron….I like your Emily Blunt site too…..the two pages go well together…..so I will add the link to my page. You got the words and I have the stats….thanks for checking out my Blunt page.

  2. Jaws was my favorite movie for a while back in the 70’s so Emily Blunt has impeccable taste. 🙂
    I’ve seen 9 of the 23 films you’ve listed here. I really liked her in Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise and The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon. I have to confess I have not yet seen The Devil Wears Prada. I should get round to doing a box office video on Blunt soon. Nice work Bruce, voted up.

    1. Hey Lens Steveman….I like the name,.,,lol. I agree she has impeccable taste and a good eye for picking out good movies to star. I have seen 18 of her movies…although I must admit I do not remember her part at all in Charlie Wilson’s War. Amy Adams has a supporting role in that one too….maybe it is time to revisit that movie. Devil Wears Prada is pretty good….at least worth one viewing. Thanks for checking out my latest. I think she would make a good video addition.
