“The Actor That Cannot Be Canceled”: TOP 10 Best Films with Johnny Depp (10 Photos)

On Friday, old Johnny Depp celebrated his 60th birthday. Johnny's long and incredible career has had its ups and downs. And when that ill-fated trial began, many had already come to terms with the fact that the actor would simply be “canceled.” But our captain has been in other situations than this and has seen many storms. Johnny Depp has defended his reputation and retained his status as one of the most beloved actors of our time. What can I say, a legend! Let's congratulate him on his anniversary once again and remember the TOP 10 of his best films.

Once at a press conference dedicated to the screening of the crime drama "Black Mass" at the London Film Festival, Johnny Depp said that he did not want to receive an Oscar.

"The idea of ​​the Oscars is that you're competing with someone, and I'm not competing with anyone. I'm just doing what I want to do," the actor said.

Thus, he proved that he did not need the ill-fated figurine for nothing. He showed the world that even without it you can achieve incredible fame and success, and most importantly, the love of millions of viewers. And as we recently saw, it was the support and gratuitous love of his fans that prevented him from drowning in the abyss of gossip, intrigue and dirty legal squabbles.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)





A legendary pirate, a legendary role, a legendary first part of a franchise that had slipped a little towards the end. But specifically, the first film is only as good as Johnny is perfect in this role. Hence the first Oscar nomination in the actor’s career.

Edward Scissorhands (1990)



Do you realize that the movie “Edward Scissorhands” actually exists in our world?! The story about the socialization of a humanoid creature with a mechanical body and scissor arms turned out to be moderately strange, moderately touching and very Burtonian, and Johnny Depp became a star after this role.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)





Yes, this film is primarily known as a benefit performance for the young DiCaprio, but Johnny Depp also copes exemplarily with the central role of the young head of a very unusual family from a provincial town. Such an acting union could not fail to give us an outstanding spectacle.

Fairyland (2004)



One of Depp's least eccentric roles. By the way, he received his second Oscar nomination for it. Johnny plays the role of Scottish playwright James Barrie, the same one who created the series of works about Peter Pan. The main work of his life was inspired by his friendship with the family of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, whose role was also superbly played by Kate Winslet.

Cocaine (2001)



Johnny as one of the main cocaine traffickers in the United States in the 1970s, George Jang. This extremely risky young man was part of the Medellin cartel of the legendary Pablo Escobar, which, of course, involved many different dangerous adventures.

Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)



Do you want to see Johnny Depp singing and cutting everyone around with a razor? You are very lucky, because he played exactly such a role. The third and last Oscar nomination in the actor’s career.

In fact, there is a legend that Sweeney Todd, a barber who murders his clients, actually lived in London in the early 19th century.

Sleepy Hollow (1999)



Burton's gothic horror film starring Depp as a constable who investigates mysterious murders committed by... the headless horseman?

Tim Burton's films on the list, of course, don't end there.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)



The legendary trip film by Terry Gilliam, whose characters had “two bags of weed, seventy-five ampoules of mescaline...”, and the list goes on. The picture consists almost entirely of hallucinations of the main characters. The author of the novel of the same name, Hunter Stockton Thompson, personally approved Johnny Depp for the main role (the character is based on Thompson himself) when he met with the actor. Afterwards, he helped Depp prepare for filming, allowing him to live with him for several months.

Ed Wood (1994)



Johnny Depp and Tim Burton (now the latter) created a comedy-drama-biographical film about the most interesting representative of Hollywood from the 50s-70s, Ed Wood, who at one time received the title of “worst director of all time.”

Chocolate (2000)



A minor, but very bright role of Depp in the film about the chocolate magic of a girl named Vienne Rocher, who settles in a small French town and changes it greatly.

What's your favorite movie with Johnny Depp? Maybe Donnie Brasco or Dead Man? Or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Or maybe "Alice in Wonderland"? Oh... and this is only a small part of his filmography!
