By Vlad Zakh · August 14, 2026
United States Comedy feel good
Emma Stone has built one of the more interesting careers of her generation, moving between big comedies and genuinely strange arthouse work. These ten cover both sides.
01 
02 The film that showed she could carry a movie entirely on charisma and comic timing.
03 Fearless, strange, and one of the boldest performances of her career.
04 Sharp, funny, and vicious in exactly the right measure.
05 A smaller role, but she makes every scene she is in count.
06 Her breakout, and still fun to spot her in early.
07 Genuine chemistry with Ryan Gosling that anchors the whole film.
08 A fun, self-aware horror-comedy where she holds her own against the ensemble.
09 A quieter, more restrained performance that showed her range early.
10 Big and theatrical in a way that is clearly a lot of fun for her to play.
