Robert Pattinson – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · January 5, 2026

Robert Pattinson spent the years after Twilight deliberately chasing the strangest available directors, and by the time he donned the cowl for The Batman, he’d built one of the more interesting resumes of his generation. Twilight launched a franchise with a human girl and a century-old vampire, Water for Elephants joins a Depression-era circus, Cosmopolis crosses Manhattan in a limousine as a fortune collapses, and The King pulls a young Henry V into war. The Lighthouse, Good Time, High Life, Tenet and The Devil All the Time round out the list.
