Want to know the best Natalie Portman movies? How about the worst Natalie Portman movies? Curious about Natalie Portman’s box office grosses or which Natalie Portman movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Natalie Portman movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which movie got the worst reviews? Well, you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
As I was trying to figure which actor/actress to do next for this movie page, my sixteen-year-old daughter asked me why I kept doing all those “old actors”. At this time, I found out that Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage, and Bruce Willis are all “ancient”. So with my daughter’s approval, Natalie Portman was chosen as the next actress for the page. Ever since Natalie Portman’s outstanding performance in Leon: The Professional, I have enjoyed following her career. Portman in The Professional, Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun, and Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense are in my opinion the best three child performances in the last 30 years.
Her IMDb page shows over 60 acting credits since 1994. This page will rank Natalie Portman movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos, and movies that received limited North America releases were not included in the rankings.

Steve’s Natalie Portman YouTube Video
If you do a comment….please ignore the email address and website section.
Hi Bob, thanks for the review, generous rating (ooo), info and trivia, always appreciated.
Glad you liked the posters and stills.
I’ve been quite busy lately so I’ll probably take a break from youtube soon, I’ll see how it goes.
I see you and Bruce are still feuding about poor Myrna, how many years now? 🙂
Natalie Portman is tiny, thimble size, but they always find ways to make her look a bit taller on screen, the tricks of the trade. Ditto Mila Kunis and going way back, Veronica Lake, who was a perfect fit for Alan Ladd (Bob winces).
Black Swan, her top rated acting job, did not manage to beat two other films she was in – Heat and Leon, according to my sources.
Two films scored 10 out of 10 – Leon and Heat. Two more scored 9 – Black Swan and Cold Mountain. There are six films scoring 8.
Leon is no.1 at IMDB and Heat tops Rotten Tomatoes charts.
Bruce has Avengers Endgame at no.1. I didn’t include it because it only uses a shot of Portman taken from Thor: Dark World.
“I had a bad early experience when Léon: The Professional came out. I’m really proud of the film, but it was strange for me to be looked at as a sexual object when I was 12.”
Portman on doing her own dancing for Black Swan: “I do have a double for the complicated turning stuff, but anything I could do myself saved the budget hundreds of thousands of dollars in special effects.”
HI STEVE:Thanks for the feedback. Yes after John left this site I was lucky that Bruce stuck around to argue with me. Mind you he’s more argumentative that even John was and John would occasionally admit that I might have a good point whereas I am sure that if I attended one of Bruce’s classes he’d put me at the back of it.
I maybe should have nicknamed WH The Work Donkey instead of Horse as donkeys are said to be very stubborn beasts who won’t budge if they don’t want to. I recal 1955’s Not as a Stranger in which Mitchum is a student doctor in a class taught by Broderick Crawford and they get into an argument over medical technicalities . Big Bob is actually right and Brodie wrong but Mitch nevertheless has to apologise because Brodie has the power to expell him if he doesn’t.
You being THE resident superhero fan and expert on this site I was wondering why you didn’t include Endgame. There being just an old brief shot of Natalie in that film was never going to halt a stubborn Work Horse in his tracks if the bit was between his teeth: if Willis or Loy was merely passing the gates of a studio when a movie was being filmed he/she would get creditd by WH for its gross even if the latter amounted to a billion. In a way WH reminds me of a compulsive amateure gambler I used to know: if two flies were going up a wall he’d have taken a bet on with you as to which one would get to the top first!
Anyway keep safe.
STEVE:
Sorry for spending amateur wrong in my previous post to you – slip of the pen as the saying goes.
FURTHER TRIVIA: They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Anyway whatever the reason your Portman video pleased me to the tune of a high 99%. Unfortunately commenting on it had to be delayed until I found time toslot in a 2nd to me compulsive viewing of the video and could also deal with some of WH’s barrage of new pages. Could his wife not have preoccupied him with the building of some more fences until I got back and had time to resettle? BEST STILLS FOR ME ARE

PLUS most of the stunners for Thor and Star Wars franchises. Can’t separate them. I watched Phantom Menace on the evening of the 2001 Brit general election and thought Natalie was beautiful in it. She was like a little porcelain doll; and indeed your opening quote from her reflects my sentiments in that respect.
ADDITIONAL TRIVIA: You and WH agree on just 2 ofNatalie’s top 6 best reviewed films – Black Swan and Heat.
HI STEVE: It was good to know that on my return from break a new video would be waiting for my pleasure. Mind you The Work Horse has been spreading so much “Fake News” around that I had to calm myself down before I could concentrate on too much else. My general comments in connection with your Portman video are:
1/My fave Natalie performances are in Cold Mountain; Black Swan; and especially The Other Loy Girl.
2/On top of her film career Wikipedia highlights for her 7 specific TV appearances and 6 music videos.
3/IMDB credits her with 94 acting awards and 141 noms – is that enough? She has a current reported net worth of $90 million.
4/She is currently filming the TV series “What if?”; she has at pre-production stage the movie Thor: Love and Thunder; and she has been announced for a further TV mini series called We are All Completely Beside Ourselves.
Good information from Bob in his three comments on Natalie Portman and Steve’s Portman video. The most impressive? Portman’s 90 million net worth, Bob dealing the barrage of new pages, and the favorite posters. Good stuff as always.
Wow….the first comment on this page in 5 years. Portman was one of the first actresses to get an UMR page….ok….it was a HubPage…..but you know what I mean.
Added Steve’s Portman YouTube Video to the page. Our thoughts found on his channel….found below.
Been a fan of hers since her performance in Leon:The Professional. Good selection for a new video. Overall I have seen 34 of her movies and 31 of the ones listed here. Favorites would include #2 Leon …glad it got ranked so high….it is time for me to watch that one again. #1 Heat is a great movie….though her role is very minor. #4 V For Vendetta……like Leon, it is time to re-watch that one. Rounding out my Top 5 would be Star Wars 6 and the little seen #8 Garden State. Voted up and shared
Hi Bruce, Portman was excellent in Leon, at that young age, not surprised she became an award winning actress. Your tally 31 out of the 36 on the video, I’ve seen 17 of these.
My favorites include – Star Wars 1-2-3, Mars Attacks, V for Vendetta, Thor 1-2, Annihilation, Leon and Heat. Thanks for the vote, share and comment, much appreciated.
Hey Steve….glad to include your video in our page. Good to see we agree on Leon. Seen all your favorites…not a huge fan of Star Wars 1 and 2 or Mars Attacks…but right there with you on the rest. I was looking at your old comment….even though it says it was in 2015…I actually think it was all the way back in 2011….as it was a comment that we brought with us. My tally almost doubled your total…..patting myself on the back…lol. Good stuff as always.
