Top 10 Johnny Depp movies ranked and the Jack Sparrow Pirates star has never seen No 1
Johnny Depp made his Hollywood movie debut 40 years ago in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Since then, the 61-year-old has starred in over 70 movies from his indie darling days in the 1990s with auteur directors, to blockbuster stardom with Pirates of the Caribbean and beyond. Film fans on IMDb have ranked his films and it turns out that Depp has never watched No 1.
10. Dead Man (1995)
Johnny Depp stars as a meek account on the run for murder in this monochrome acid Western. During his life as a fugitive, he stumbles upon a Native American spirit-guide called Nobody who believes him to be the reincarnation of his namesake, the English poet William Blake.
9. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S Thompson’s novel stars Depp as the gonzo journalist himself alongside Benicia del Toro as Dr Gonzo. This cult classic follows the drug-addled pair on their misadventures through Las Vegas.
8. Blow (2001)
Depp stars as real-life US drug trafficker George Jung, with Penélope Cruz as his wife Mirtha. Adapted from Bruce Porter’s 1993 book of the same name, this crime drama about an American cocaine kingpin explores Jung’s connections to drug lords Pablo Escobar and Carlos Lehder Rivas.
7. Finding Neverland (2004)
Depp stars as Peter Pan playwright JM Barrie in this film about his relationship with a family who inspired him to create his famous fantasy story. The movie was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Depp.
6. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
This coming-of-age dramedy saw Depp in the title role as a 25-year-old grocery store clerk in rural Iowa caring for his morbidly obese mother and mentally disabled brother Arnie. At 19, Leonardo DiCaprio received his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor after playing the latter role.

5. Donnie Brasco (1997)
Depp takes the title role once again in a true story about an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the Bonanno crime family in 1970s New York City. Al Pacino co-stars as ageing Mafia hitman Lefty Ruggiero, who Donnie (real name Joseph D Pistone) befriends to get into the mobster inner circle.
4. Ed Wood (1994)
Yet another titular role, Depp stars as the cult filmmaker opposite Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning role as Dracula star Bela Lugosi. Shot in black and white, this is one of the actor’s many collaborations with Tim Burton.
3. Edward Scissorhands (1990)
Talking of Tim Burton and once again a titular role for Depp, this gothic romance stars the latter as an artificial human with scissor blades for hands who falls in love with Winona Ryder’s teenager. This film is both the director and composer Danny Elfman’s favourite of their work.

2. Platoon (1986)
Oliver Stone based this film on his own Vietnam War experiences, to counter the pro-military position of John Wayne’s The Green Berets. Platoon follows Charlie Sheen’s US Army volunteer as his Platoon Sergeant and Squad Leader argue over the morality of the war itself. Co-starring Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker and Depp in a smaller role as an interpreter, the movie was praised by critics and was a box office success before winning four Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director. Platoon also features in the Top 10 Vietnam War movies ranked.
1. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What else could be No 1? Given the last big Hollywood pirate movie was such a bomb it shut down a studio, not to mention the suits’ meddling over Depp’s creative decisions as Jack Sparrow, it’s a miracle this movie ended up an all-time classic that birthed a billion-dollar franchise. One, of course, that would be nothing without the star’s Oscar-nominated role as his drunken swashbuckler. And yes, according to the horse’s mouth during his court case against Amber Heard, Depp said of the first Pirates movie: “I didn’t see it. But I believe the film did pretty well.”
