Emily Blunt – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · June 15, 2026

A Quiet Place and Sicario show Emily Blunt at her most controlled and physical, built on tension, The Devil Wears Prada still holds up because she never oversells the comedy, and Oppenheimer adds a quieter, devastating register. Wild Mountain Thyme gives her a stubborn Irish farmer in a decades-long romance, The Girl on the Train follows an alcoholic narrator tangled in a disappearance, Looper makes her a mother sheltering a boy with a secret, and Into the Woods tangles fairy-tale wishes. Mary Poppins Returns and Edge of Tomorrow round out the list.
