Streaming On Netflix

After starring in some episodes of television early in his career, Interstellar was only the second major feature film that Chalamet appeared in. The story of Interstellar follows Cooper, a former NASA pilot who embarks on a mission across space to find a habitable planet for humans, since Earth is dying. In addition to Chalamet, the cast of Interstellar includes Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Matt Damon. Since Chalamet was still quite young and relatively unknown, he only has a minor role in Interstellar.

In Interstellar, Chalamet plays Tom, Cooper's son. However, Chalamet can only be seen at the beginning of the film, since Interstellar jumps many years into the future. After the heartbreaking time jump in Interstellar, Tom is played by Casey Affleck. Since Interstellar mostly focuses on Cooper's relationship with his daughter, Murphy, Tom is not one of the most important characters in the film. However, it is still great to see Chalamet appear in one of Christopher Nolan's best movies.

Lady Bird is undoubtedly the movie that really put Greta Gerwig on the map as a director to be on the lookout for. It is also Chalamet's first of two collaborations with the critically acclaimed director, as he also appeared in her 2019 adaptation of Little Women. The story of Lady Bird explores the connection between a rebellious teenager and her equally strong-willed mother. Even though Christine, who goes by the nickname "Lady Bird," comes from a family that is struggling financially, she yearns to go to a college in a big city.

Lady Bird follows Christine as a senior in high school as she copes with becoming an adult and continuously rekindles her rocky relationship with her mother. In the film, Chalamet plays Kyle, one of Lady Bird's love interests. Once again, Chalamet doesn't necessarily have a huge role in Lady Bird, but he is very memorable in the film. Kyle's edgy personality leads to several hilarious moments in Lady Bird, and it is definitely worth a watch for fans of Chalamet.

2017 was clearly a breakout year for Chalamet, as both Lady Bird and Call Me by Your Name ended up getting nominated for Best Picture. While Chalamet played a ing character in Lady Bird, he played the leading role in Call Me by Your Name, which was directed by Luca Guadagnino. In Call Me by Your Name, Chalamet's character, Elio, experiences his first love while spending the summer at his family's villa in Italy. Over the course of the summer, he falls in love with Oliver, who is much older than him and works with his father.

Even though Elio and Oliver both feel a special connection with each other, their story is bound to end in heartbreak, as Oliver eventually has to leave. Therefore, Call Me by Your Name is a sad, but also comforting film about a young man who experiences the first love of his life. Elio in Call Me by Your Name was Chalamet's breakout role, and even earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor when he was just 22 years old.

Streaming On Prime Video

Beautiful Boy is perhaps the most underrated movie of Chalamet's career. Even though it is a touching story about a father and son, who is struggling with a meth addiction, Beautiful Boy has mixed reviews. However, just a year after starring in Call Me by Your Name, Chalamet proved how talented of an actor he really is in Beautiful Boy, which is based on the memoirs Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction by David Sheff and Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff.

Beautiful Boy tells the heartbreaking true story of David and Nic Sheff. In the film, Chalamet's character continuously struggles with his meth addiction, while his father tries to help him. In Beautiful Boy, Chalamet stars alongside Steve Carell, and both of them give outstanding performances. Because of its subject matter, Beautiful Boy can be hard to watch at times, but it is undeniably one of the most important movies of Chalamet's career.

Streaming On Hulu

While Chalamet has starred in many intense, dramatic movies throughout the course of his career, The French Dispatch is one of the easier watches featuring the actor. The French Dispatch is an anthology movie written and directed by Wes Anderson, who is known for his unique sense of humor and filmmaking style. Chalamet stars in the second segment of the anthology film, which is entitled "Revisions to a Manifesto."

"Revisions to a Manifesto" is inspired by the May 68 student protests and follows a group of students who rebel against their school and the police because they are upset about the strict rules regarding access to the girls' dormitory. In the film, Chalamet plays Krementz, the leader of the student rebellion. While The French Dispatch is one of the weirdest projects Chalamet has starred in, his segment in the anthology film features many hilarious moments and is definitely worth a watch.

3 Timothée Chalamet Leads Denis Villeneuve's Sci-Fi Masterpiece Dune

Streaming On Max

Seven years after starring in Interstellar, Chalamet starred in a different kind of science fiction film. This time around, he played the main character. While Interstellar is partly set on Earth and grounded in reality, Dune is set on a system of planets far in the distant future. With the release of his first Dune movie, Villeneuve proved everyone who claimed that Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi novel couldn't be adapted wrong. Dune was a ion project for Villeneuve, and that is evident in the final product.

Dune is not only one of the best films of 2021, but also arguably one of the best science fiction movies of all time. In Dune, Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, whose father is given control of the planet Arrakis. However, after his father is betrayed and murdered, Paul is forced to survive with his mother on the harsh desert planet. This leads him to the Fremen, who he is destined to lead. Chalamet excels in Dune, which is just the first movie in a larger sci-fi franchise.

2 Timothée Chalamet Plays A New Version Of Willy Wonka In Wonka

Streaming On Max

Before Chalamet stepped into the shoes of the iconic chocolatier, Willy Wonka had been played by Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp. Both Wilder and Depp's versions of Willy Wonka are iconic, so taking on this role was a big risk for Chalamet. There were undoubtedly many people who hated the idea of a Willy Wonka origin story being made, but Chalamet proved all the doubters wrong and Wonka ended up being a massive success. Chalamet's take on the character is different from other versions of Willy Wonka, but has become just as iconic.

Wonka is much more lighthearted and whimsical than other takes on the character. In the film, audiences actually root for Willy Wonka as he is an underdog competing with other chocolatiers. The film is wonderfully directed by Paul King and includes an extraordinary performance by Chalamet. Overall, Wonka is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable movies of Chalamet's career, and definitely deserves a watch from fans of the actor.

1 Timothée Chalamet Plays A Darker Version Of Paul Atreides In Dune: Part Two

Streaming On Max & Netflix

While the first Dune film was incredible, Dune: Part Two sures it in every way and is possibly the best movie of Villeneuve's career. Not only is Dune: Part Two one of the best movies of 2024, but it is also possibly one of the best blockbusters of all time. While the first Dune film sets Paul Atreides up as the hero of the franchise, the second film takes him down a much darker path, and shows a much more villainous side of the character. Paul's arc throughout the film is spine-chilling, and Chalamet expertly portrays this significant change.

Dune: Part Two explores the dangers of following a Messiah-like figure. By the end of Dune: Part Two, Paul Atreides has started a Holy War, which will be further shown in the Dune 3. Even if you are not a fan of sci-fi, Dune: Part Two is one of the most immersive movies of all time, and absolutely needs to be watched by fans of Timothée Chalamet.
