Robert Pattinson has been one of the hottest actors in Hollywood for more than a decade,
dazzling fans with his range and complex character work in indies and marquee movies alike.
To celebrate this one of a kind talent, here's a look at every Robert Pattinson movie you
can watch on Netflix right now.
Robert Pattinson already had a memorable role in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and
starred in several arthouse films before he took on the role of Edward Cullen in the 2008
adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight."
The romantic vampire saga made the actor a household name and earned him legions of die-hard
fans.
"Totally gorgeous, obviously.
But apparently nobody here's good enough for him.
Like I care, you know?"
Pattinson's performance as the broody, golden-eyed hunk is an essential element of all five films'
success.
Not only does he check all of the boxes when it comes to the books' description of the
beloved heartthrob, but he also brings quiet passion and elegance to the role.
As Edward Cullen grows from a lonely forever teen into a full-fledged fighter who will
do anything to protect his friends, Pattinson also emerges as a force to be reckoned with.
After collaborating with David Cronenberg on the eerie 2012 crime drama "Cosmopolis,"
Pattinson reunited with the acclaimed director for his 2014 satirical drama "Maps to the
Stars."
Pattinson plays an ambitious but reserved limousine driver named Jerome Fontana who
wants to be the next great screenwriter but currently makes his living toting rich Angelenos
around town.
Jerome soon finds himself involved in an increasingly bizarre and twisted plot involving a troubled
actress, a former child star, a TV psychologist, an unusual assistant, and even a few ghosts.
But even as Pattinson's character becomes surrounded by increasingly strange people
and situations, Jerome serves as an anchor for the action and an understated moral foil
for those around him.
Pattinson's precise performance makes "Maps to the Stars" a must-see for his fans.
For the 2017 thriller "Good Time," Pattinson teamed with co-directors Benny and Josh Safdie
to create a story that's truly a rush to watch.
The film features the star as a small-time criminal named Connie Nikas, whose brother
with special needs is detained at Rikers Island prison after the two rob a bank and get caught
red-handed, or perhaps more like red-faced, as a result of an exploded dye pack.
Connie, fearing that his brother may be seriously hurt in prison as a result of his inability
to control his anger or understand social cues, sets out on a dangerous mission to get
him out, putting himself at even greater risk along the way.
Not only is the film dripping with tension and full of surprises, but Pattinson's urgent
performance as the passionate and unpredictable Connie is a downright revelation.
"You have no idea.
I just gotta get him out of there before something bad happens.
'Cause he could get killed in there."
Pattinson has no shortage of critically revered roles, of course, but his work in "Good Time"
easily ranks among his greatest film turns so far.
After starring in David Michôd's 2014 dystopian thriller "The Rover," Pattinson reunited with
the Australian director for his 2019 period drama "The King."
The film, which is based upon the "Henriad" collection of plays by William Shakespeare,
tells the story of the turbulent yet triumphant rise of King Henry V of England, who rose
from a reluctant heir into a celebrated wartime monarch.
Pattinson stars in the film as the playfully menacing dauphin of France, who mercilessly
taunts the young king and engages him in battles of both wits and armies.
Not only does the actor get to have fun with his French accent and lofty mannerisms, but
he also delivers some one-liners that are impossible to forget.
"To your little victory."
Pattinson has always been a scene-stealer in his film work, but in "The King," he takes
that talent to the next level and beyond.
If you haven't seen what Pattinson pulls off in the 2020 American gothic thriller "The
Devil All the Time," you are truly missing out.
The period film, which was directed by Antonio Campos, features Pattinson as the narcissistic
and self-righteous Reverend Preston Teagardin, who uses his position of power over the small
Southern community to humiliate and abuse some of the townsfolk, usually young women.
Pattinson takes full advantage of his opportunity to shine in such a cavalierly villainous role,
bringing sublime flair and twang-soaked enthusiasm to every syllable of his dialogue.
"I model myself on the good lord Jesus whenever he gives me the chance.
And today has blessed me with another opportunity to follow in his footsteps."
Even in scenes that are brimming with other members of the ensemble, Pattinson manages
to fill the space with the reverend's dominating personality and outsized ego.
For those fans who enjoy watching Pattinson's command of various accents and colorful characters,
his work in "The Devil All the Time" simply must not be missed.
