7 Best Aaron Paul Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 1, 2026

Aaron Paul became one of television’s best-loved character actors as Breaking Bad’s meth-cooking sidekick, and his film career since has been a more mixed affair. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie picks up the fugitive’s story, Eye in the Sky has him as a drone pilot facing an impossible decision, and A Long Way Down puts him on a rooftop with three other strangers. Come and Find Me, Need for Speed, Exodus: Gods and Kings and Mission: Impossible III round out his list.
