The 15 Best Emma Stone Movies, Ranked, and Where to Stream Them

Updated on

Emma Stone recently picked up her second Academy Award for her performance as Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things – making her only one of thirteen women to have won the award twice (others include Hollywood icons such as Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman and Bette Davis). There's no doubt she can now be considered among the best actresses of her generation. In this guide, we'll show you where to watch the best Emma Stone movies on streaming services in the United States.

What are Emma Stone's best movies?

Stone has incredible range as an actress, moving seamlessly between vastly different projects. While she has garnered attention for comedic and satirical roles, one of her most excellent performances was in a musical romance. She took home the Oscar for Best Actress for portraying the ambitious and dreamy Mia Dolan in La La Land, a role in which she wowed audiences with her singing and dancing skills. Two years before that, she nabbed another Oscar nomination for playing a disgruntled, rugged, and cynical recovering addict in Birdman.

Meanwhile, her roles don’t have to be award-winning or from the most prestigious movies to gain attention. Many superhero fans remember her for portraying Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man series, and she impressed zombie enthusiasts with her role as a sarcastic and tough apocalypse survivor in Zombieland.

Poor Things is one of Emma Stone's best movies, having won The Golden Lion at the 80th Venice International Film Festival and receiving critical and commercial success worldwide. But Poor Things is not the only remarkable performance from Emma Stone in a Lanthimos-directed movie. She blew audiences away with The Favourite, proving she has a knack for dark comedy and bold, complex performances.

No matter what role Stone is playing, she always tackles it with vigor and pours in the kind of spunk, charisma, and boldness that audiences take note of. Hence, it is a little tricky to pick out her best roles from so many solid performances. However, a few stand out in particular for being easily recognizable or critically acclaimed.

Where can I watch Emma Stone movies online?

In this guide you'll find Emma Stone's 15 best performances according to how well her performance and the film itself were received. From Poor Things to Easy A, you can also find where to watch them all on streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV+.
