Christian Bale has gone through it all during his time as an actor and he’s clearly one of the greatest currently on this planet. An acting chameleon, no weight, loss or gain, stands in his way from playing any role. Whether playing an anorexic industrialist worker or a bloated Vice President, Bale always brings his best to the table and this begs the question as to what the best Christian Bale movies actually are.

With a new Bale performance incoming from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thor: Love and Thunder, we decided to take an in-depth look at his acting career so far. Here is a ranked list of the best Christian Bale movies. It’s important to note that I am taking both his performance and the overall quality of the film into consideration, it’s not just the best movies he’s been featured in.
