3 Best Robert Pattinson Movies To Watch If You Loved Him In ‘Mickey 17’
There aren’t many actors in Hollywood that have reinvented themselves to the same extent as Robert Pattinson.
A former teen heartthrob known for his star-making performance in the Twilight series, Pattinson successfully rebuilt his professional reputation by the mid 2010s, reasserting his place as a versatile dramatic performer throughout the next decade.
With his newest release Mickey 17 as well as other successful film performances, Pattinson has proven himself far more than a mere teen idol.
Here are the three best Robert Pattinson movies to watch.
The Batman (2022)
The Batman outfitted the former teen star with his first major role since Twilight’s conclusion roughly a decade prior. A notably darker interpretation of the Dark Knight’s comic book adventures, Pattinson offered a fresh and original interpretation of the title character in 2022’s The Batman. Plagued by his parents’ deaths and longing to make a difference in Gotham City, Pattinson’s Caped Crusader grapples with an assortment of issues within The Batman, distancing himself from almost every portrayal of the character that came prior.
The Lighthouse (2019)
As with each of director Robert Eggers’ movies, The Lighthouse is unlike any other movie in contemporary cinema, even when compared to Eggers’ previous work in 2015’s The Witch. A bold, black-and-white psychological horror film, The Lighthouse focuses on two men’s gradual descent into insanity while tending to an isolated New England lighthouse in the late 19th century. Adopting period-accurate maritime accents and mumbling their way through colorfully nonsensical tirades, Pattinson and his co-star Willem Dafoe disappear into their roles in The Lighthouse, ensuring a movie as unforgettably strange as The Shining, The Witch, or The Babadook before it.
Good Time (2017)
A breathtaking crime thriller from the endlessly talented Safdie brothers, Pattinson once again managed to show off his eminent adaptability as an actor through his gripping performance in Good Time. Hurtling through each scene with grit and determination, Pattinson gives it his all as desperate New York thief Connie Nikas. Desperately trying to free his imprisoned brother from jail, Pattinson’s Connie constantly races against the clock in an attempt to help his younger sibling any way he can, facing a parade of dangerous obstacles along the way.
