Sandra Bullock Movies Ranked by Tomatometer
The latest: Miss Congeniality celebrates its 25th anniversary! Check out the list below to see where it ranks in Sandra Bullock’s filmography.
We’re ranking the films of Sandra Bullock! We start with Bullock’s Certified Fresh works, which include her action breakthrough Speed, Best Picture winner Crash, technical masterpiece Gravity, ’90s rom-com classic While You Were Sleeping, and her return to the genre after a long absence, 2022’s The Lost City. Some of Bullock’s Fresh films have been her most popular, including The Blind Side (which won her the Best Actress Oscar), action-comedy The Heat, the female-led take on the Ocean’s franchise, Netflix’s conversation-starter Bird Box, and prescient sci-fi satire Demolition Man. Bullock’s star power and endurance extends even into her Rotten movies, like the Miss Congeniality movies, cult favorite Practical Magic, and her mid-career comeback The Proposal. —Alex Vo
