Top 10 Best Megan Fox Movies

The film that launched her career. Her role as Mikaela is little more than eye candy, but she plays it with conviction and charisma. The scene where she leans over the hood of a car is famous, infamous and defining, a symbol of an era in which Hollywood shamelessly catered to the male gaze. Not great cinema, but iconic.

A grown-up comedy about relationships and parenthood in which Fox has a smaller role. Not a big dramatic performance, but solid work in a quieter, realistic setting. Refreshing, and a glimpse of what she could have done with different choices, or better opportunities.

This bizarre western flopped spectacularly, but Fox still stands out as a gun-toting woman of the night. Not necessarily because of her acting, since the script is paper-thin, but because she fully embraces the pulp. And that has its own charm.

A surprisingly tight thriller in which Fox plays a woman who wakes up handcuffed to her dead husband. What follows is survival in the freezing cold with hitmen on her heels. Fox plays it with restraint and conviction, perhaps her best performance in a serious lead role.

The film in which Megan Fox finally got to do something interesting. As a cheerleader possessed by a demon who starts eating boys, she's frightening, sexy and tragic at once. Written by Diablo Cody, the film was mis-marketed as a male fantasy at the time but later came to be seen as a feminist horror gem, and Fox is perfectly cast.

In Judd Apatow's comedy, Fox plays a surprisingly self-aware supporting role. She's sexy, of course, but also ironic and subtly funny. For once her looks aren't the whole point; she simply gets to be a character. A small role, but one of her most charming.

In the reboot of the iconic turtle franchise, Fox plays April O'Neil for the first time. The film is full of chaos, explosions and odd choices, but Fox tries hard to take her character seriously amid all the CGI mayhem.

The Turtles films are messy, overloaded with CGI and aimed squarely at nostalgia. Still, in this second film Fox manages to give April O'Neil something more human, and her comic timing gets more room to shine.

Fox plays the arrogant queen bee opposite Lindsay Lohan in this high school comedy. A limited role, but she makes an impression as a classic mean girl, and it was an early glimpse of the type of role she'd keep getting for years.

A military action film in which Fox plays a tough mercenary in Africa. Terrorists, a dangerous lioness and lots of shootouts are the ingredients. Her role is meant seriously and doesn't always convince, but it's brave to see her as a grimy action heroine instead of glamour.

In this action blockbuster, Fox plays CIA operative Gina, supporting a crew of macho veterans. The film is anything but subtle, but she holds her own among the action legends.

A dark sci-fi thriller in which Fox plays Alice, a domestic android that becomes far too intelligent and far too dangerous. She plays the role with eerie precision, balancing between servitude and psychopathy. Perhaps her most interesting role in years.
