8 Best Joey King Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 4, 2026

Joey King has worked since childhood and used that long resume to move between teen romance, dark true-crime drama and outright action comedy. The Act dramatises a real case of a mother’s Munchausen abuse and her daughter, Bullet Train collides assassins with overlapping missions, Uglies questions mandatory surgery that makes everyone pretty, and The Kissing Booth tangles a secret romance with her best friend’s brother. The Conjuring, White House Down, Wish I Was Here and Ramona and Beezus round out the list.
