All Emily Blunt Movies Ranked
Emily Blunt‘s first two Rotten Tomatoes-rated movies were Certified Fresh: My Summer of Love, which you’ve never heard of, and The Devil Wears Prada, which you definitely have. The $124-million grossing and decidedly unromantic comedy paved a path for more female-led films and served as a launching vector for actresses like Anne Hathaway and Blunt. Her appearances in high-profile Charlie Wilson’s War, The Wolfman and The Muppets kept the momentum going, but it wasn’t until releasing Looper that Blunt got that most coveted of validations: internet fan cred. Following that up with Edge of Tomorrow and A Quiet Place has cemented her image of poise and natural radiant strength. She was Mary Poppins, y’all. She was even Tempest Shadow in My Little Pony: The Movie. That’s cross-generational.
She had her part in Barbenheimer (as Oppenheimer’s suffering scientist wife, Kitty), and the phenom got its spin-off with The Fall Guy, where Blunt co-led with Barbie‘s Ryan Gosling.
And now we’re raking all of Emily Blunt’s movies by Tomatometer, with Certified Fresh films first!
