5 Best Timothée Chalamet Drama Movies, Ranked

Timothée Chalamet began appearing in films in 2014, including a small but noticeable role in Interstellar as the younger version of Casey Affleck’s character. His profile rose sharply in 2017 thanks to key parts in several coming-of-age movies that drew awards attention, and 2025 proved another big year for him as he returned to high-profile studio filmmaking in lead roles for Dune and Dune: Part Two.

This list focuses on dramatic performances, so major sci‑fi entries like Interstellar and the Dune films are set aside, along with the horror of Bones and All and the biopic A Complete Unknown. The selections here aim to show where Chalamet’s dramatic range is most on display.

At number five, Beautiful Boy (2018) follows a teenager’s meth addiction and the strain it puts on his relationship with his father; the film, based on two memoirs, offers an early, strong dramatic turn from Chalamet opposite Steve Carell.
