A ranking of Anne Hathaway's top five films based on Rotten Tomatoes scores, featuring Colossal, Les Misérables, The Dark Knight Rises, Brokeback Mountain, and Rachel Getting Married.
The rankings were determined based on each film's Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. In fifth place is the 2016 sci-fi black comedy Colossal, starring Anne Hathaway as an alcoholic writer who becomes a giant monster in Seoul.
The film received a divisive reception, with a middling Tomatometer score and a significantly lower Popcornmeter score of 58%. Critics, however, praised its original take on the monster genre, its pivot from comedy to a dark thriller tackling themes of addiction and toxic relationships, and the compelling performances from Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis. In fourth place is Les Misérables (2012), where Hathaway's performance as a recovering addict earned her a first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
The role was considered career-defining, with universal praise for her heartbreaking and raw portrayal, and the film also saw commendation for its supporting cast and director Jonathan Demme. Third place goes to The Dark Knight Rises (2012), in which Hathaway portrayed Selina Kyle/Catwoman opposite Christian Bale's Batman.
Her scene-stealing performance was a major highlight, praised for its charm, wit, physical prowess, and chemistry with Bale; the film became the highest-grossing of Hathaway's career with a global gross of approximately $1.084 billion. Second is Brokeback Mountain (2005), featuring Hathaway in a supporting role alongside Michelle Williams as the wives of two closeted men in a secret, decades-long love affair.
The heartwrenching story, led by emotional performances from Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, was universally acclaimed and won three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Ang Lee. Finally, the top spot belongs to Rachel Getting Married (2008), where Hathaway delivers a strong supporting performance despite some critics feeling her role was underutilized. The movie was praised for its gripping story and director Todd Haynes' grounded direction, with Hathaway making an impact in her limited screen time.
These rankings highlight Hathaway's versatile performances across genres, from blockbuster superhero films to intimate indie dramas, and underscore her critical acclaim despite varying audience reactions. The list was compiled ahead of the July 17 release of a new film, and the selection reflects only live-action remakes, excluding sequels and other adaptations. Maggie Dela Paz, the author, is a seasoned entertainment writer with a passion for cinema, K-Dramas, and K-Pop, currently obsessed with FX's The Bear and My Hero Academia.
Additional headlines mention Lin-Manuel Miranda nearly joining the MCU, a red band trailer for Dead Janitors Club, Spielberg's tribute to Sam Neill, a Spaceballs 2 poster, Sam Neill's death at 78, Amazon Prime's releases for the week of July 13-19, 2026, ranked lists of Evil Dead movies and family movies starring Dwayne Johnson, and Alan Ruck's slasher movie digital release
