Adam Driver – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · June 22, 2026

Adam Driver splits his time between Star Wars-scale blockbusters and some of the most demanding arthouse directors working, often in the same year. Annette has him as a stand-up comedian in a rock-opera fable, Frances Ha is an early black-and-white New York gem, and House of Gucci pushes his work toward operatic excess. The Last Jedi, The Force Awakens, Paterson, BlacKkKlansman, Silence, Marriage Story and The Last Duel show the range.
