A famous English actor is known for his role as ‘Edward Cullen’ from the movie ‘Twilight’, Robert Pattinson is celebrating his 38th birthday.
Through his dedication, skill, and relentless pursuit of excellence, Pattinson has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
Though Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was the first major film for actor Robert Pattinson, he became an international star with the Twilight movie series.
Since then, he has gained immense accolades for working in various movies. So on his birthday, let’s have a look at the actor’s best movies of all time:
1) Twilight (2008)
Through blockbuster sequels of the movie ‘Twilight’, Pattinson became an instant movie star thanks to his role as 108-year-old vampire/high school student Edward Cullen. Pattinson was magnetic in the movie.
2) Remember Me (2010)
Robert Pattinson delivered a terrific performance proving he can do more than play a detached vampire. His character is complex and Pattison was able to make you feel the emotions he was feeling, viewers are able to connect with him. This is the kind of acting that will lead Pattison to leading roles in Oscar-worthy dramas.
3) Cosmopolis (2012)
Robert Pattinson exploded his image as a steely sex symbol with David Cronenberg’s challenging and twisted drama, about a young billionaire who wanders New York City in his top of the line limousine and over the course of one day falls desperately into self-destruction. Cronenberg’s film is a damning treatise of soulless capitalism, and Pattinson’s portrayal of a brilliant, tormented playboy is intriguingly despicable.
4) Tenet (2020)

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet may have stumbled and struggled due to its pandemic delays and ill-timed release (and a story which, even in Nolan terms, was abstruse), but Pattinson flexed his more traditional leading man chops as ground support for John David Washington’s “protagonist,” as they battled against a small army, funded by a future world intent on destroying the past, who can move backwards through time. It’s a Christopher Nolan movie worth watching.
5) The Batman (2022)
Like most of the actors cast as Batman, Pattinson was pre-judged harshly by some fans, before they’d even seen him don the cape and cowl. Also like most actors cast as Batman, Pattinson delivered the goods as the Caped Crusader, giving us the most insanely-driven Bruce Wayne to date in Matt Reeves’ The Batman.
6) The Lost City of Z (2016)
Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson explore the wilds of the Amazon in search of a mysterious, lost city in James Gray’s acclaimed historical drama. Although it’s Hunnam’s film, and the actor reaped the accolades, Pattinson’s turn in the film was transformative and further proof that the actor could transform into whatever was needed.
7) The Lighthouse (2019)
Robert Eggers’ follow-up to his acclaimed debut, The Witch, was a shadowy surreal two-man show starring A24 darlings Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two lighthouse keepers who get stuck on their island by a storm and descend into madness.
The Lighthouse is equal parts horror, thriller, comedy, and maritime mystery. This gripping, lean fable opens itself up to many interpretations, anchored by two leads giving darkly exciting performances.
8) Good Time (2017)
Robert Pattinson received some of the best reviews of his career for Josh and Benny Safdie’s crime thriller, about a bank robber who goes on the lam with his brother, who is developmentally challenged.
Good Time represents a critical career high for post-Twilight/pre-Batman Pattinson and the film itself still survives, years later, as a sharp, visually-distinctive, commanding crime drama.
9) Damsel (2018)
Robert Pattinson’s performance as Samuel disrupts conventional notions of a machismo icon, portraying a naive and troubled anti-hero. Mia Wasikowska’s character, Penelope, challenges Western tropes as a fierce and autonomous woman who becomes the film’s leading icon.
10) High Life (2018)
Robert Pattinson’s third A24 film – after The Rover and Good Time — was an acclaimed sci-fi thriller from the incredible French filmmaker Claire Denis, about prisoners who are sent to the far reaches of space, towards a black hole, and subjected to scientific experiments. Pattinson’s performance was once again praised as he exuded brooding intelligence and remarkable physical grace.
