The Five Best Emilia Clarke Movies Of Her Career

Okay, let's talk about Emilia Clarke. That smile! That energy! She's a force of nature on screen. You know her from that really, really big dragon show, right? But she's been in some other gems too. Today, we're diving into my totally official, absolutely correct, and maybe a little bit controversial, top five Emilia Clarke movies. Prepare to nod your head, or maybe playfully shake it. Either way, we're having fun.

Coming in at number five, a film that might surprise some of you, is Terminator Genisys. Hear me out! I know, I know. But she did a fantastic job as Sarah Connor. She wasn't just a damsel in distress; she was tough, she was ready to fight, and she had that glint in her eye. It’s easy to forget this one sometimes, but Emilia brought her A-game, even if the movie itself was… well, let’s just say it was ambitious. She totally owned that role, making Sarah Connor her own. You could see the grit. And honestly, who wouldn't want Emilia Clarke as their protector in a robot apocalypse?

Moving on to number four, and this is where things get a little more heartwarming. We have Me Before You. Oh, my heart! If this movie didn't make you shed at least one tear, you might be made of stone. Emilia plays Louisa Clark, a quirky, vibrant young woman who takes a job caring for a paralyzed man. Her character is so full of life, so endearing, and Emilia completely captures that. She’s like sunshine in human form. The chemistry between her and her co-star is just lovely. It’s a story about finding joy and love in unexpected places, and Emilia’s performance is a huge reason why it works so well. Seriously, prepare the tissues.

Alright, for number three, we’re stepping into something a bit more… fantastical. It’s Solo: A Star Wars Story. Now, I know some people have strong feelings about this movie, but let’s focus on Emilia’s part. She plays Qi'ra, a mysterious and complex character with a lot going on beneath the surface. Emilia brings this sultry, dangerous, yet vulnerable vibe to Qi’ra that is utterly captivating. She’s got that classic Star Wars edge, but with her own unique Emilia flair. Watching her navigate the dangerous underworld of the galaxy? Utterly compelling. She’s got that spark that makes you lean in and wonder what she’ll do next. Even if the movie wasn't everyone's cup of tea, her performance? Chef’s kiss.

Now for the exciting part: number two! This one is a bit of a rom-com classic. It’s Last Christmas. This movie is just pure joy, wrapped up in a festive bow. Emilia plays Kate, a disaffected young woman working as an elf in a Christmas shop. She's hilarious, she's a mess, and she’s incredibly relatable. The film has its emotional moments, sure, but Emilia’s comedic timing is spot-on. She’s got this wonderful ability to be both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely touching. Plus, it’s set to the music of George Michael! What’s not to love? She truly shines as a woman trying to find her way, and her journey is something we can all connect with, even if our lives aren’t quite as dramatic (or as musical).

And finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. My undisputed number one Emilia Clarke movie is… drumroll please… The Dragon-Born Saga! Just kidding! It’s obviously Game of Thrones, but since that’s a show and we’re talking movies, let’s go with the film that truly showcased her dramatic chops and made her a global phenomenon: Above all the stars… Oh, wait, that’s not a real movie title. My apologies, my brain got carried away with the epicness. The actual movie that gets my top spot, and I might get a few raised eyebrows here, is one that is so charming, so utterly delightful, it deserves all the praise. It’s the film where she’s not afraid to be a little bit silly, a little bit vulnerable, and a whole lot of captivating. It’s… thinking hard… Okay, I’m going to have to be bold here. My number one Emilia Clarke movie that gets my heart fluttering and my smile widening, is Voice from the Stone. Yes, I said it. It’s a gothic thriller, and she is phenomenal. She plays a nurse who goes to a remote castle to care for a boy who has fallen silent. Her performance is so nuanced, so full of unspoken emotion. It's a slow burn, but her intensity is captivating. She’s not just emoting; she’s living the role. It shows a completely different side of her acting talent, a quiet power that’s utterly mesmerizing. So, there you have it! My slightly quirky, totally enthusiastic list of Emilia Clarke's best movie moments.
