Margot Robbie is one of today's most prolific, talented, and downright stunning actresses, a rare talent who totally envelops herself in her role so fully that you don't even recognize her. With her upcoming role in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," I take a look at my five personal favorite Margot Robbie films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Z for Zachariah
In one of her first starring roles, Margot Robbie stars as Ann Burden, who thinks she's the lone survivor after the world ends due to an apocalyptic event. Living alone in an unspoiled piece of land, she finds that she's not alone after discovering stranger John Loomis (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) in the valley, and the two begin to form a bond - until she finds another survivor, played by Chris Pine, that threatens everything they worked to build. Robbie delivers a solid performance and sets the stage for this then-up-and-coming actress to hit it big.
#4
Mary Queen of Scots
When you get acting heavyweights like Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan together, you're bound to achieve something truly fantastic. "Mary Queen of Scots" tells of the rivalry between Mary (Ronan) and Queen Elizabeth (Robbie) as they vie for rulership of England. Robbie gives an immaculate performance, transforming into Queen Elizabeth in every sense of the word, and commands the screen - which is difficult to do against Saoirse Ronan.
#3
Focus
Margot Robbie stars alongside Will Smith for the first (but not last) time in "Focus," where she stars as an up-and-coming con artist who's taken under Smith's wing and trained to be a true femme fatale. The two become romantically involved, which threatens Smith's Nicky's plans, resulting in a breakup and an eventual reunion. Robbie steals the scene and goes full circle from novice to pro - and once again showcases her tremendous acting talent.
#2
Suicide Squad
There's not a lot of praise to come from this film (even though it somehow won an Oscar for Makeup), but one thing that's universally praised about "Suicide Squad" is Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn, and she totally owns the part. She relishes in her character's offbeat traits, and her efforts have led to her getting her own spinoff film.
#1
I, Tonya
In the film that earned Robbie her first (but certainly not only) Academy Award nomination, "I, Tonya" serves as a mockumentary about Tonya Harding, the disgraced figure skater accused of having her husband injure fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan. Robbie plays Tonya to pitch perfect perfection, where you can't take your eyes off her performance, and proves why she deserved her nomination as well as the title of one of today's most talented actresses.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...
Worst2First: My Most Anticipated Films of Spring 2025 Leading up to what cinemas consider summer (which runs from May to August as opposed to June to August), theaters are going to be popping during the two spring months of March and April! From sequels to war films and some exciting original content, there's something for everyone to see on the big screen in March and April. So here are the ten films I'm most excited to see in March and April of 2025... **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** #10 Ash March 21 Sci-fi isn't my particularly favorite genre, but I can still appreciate what it has to offer, especially in the horror community. "Alien" is still the standard of sci-fi horror films, and "Ash" looks like an "Alien" type film - a woman alone in the vastness of space after her entire crew is killed, trying to understand what happened when she's rescued by someone that she may or may not be able to trust.

Zootopia 2 Starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster Directed by Jared Bush & Byron Howard In 2016, "Zootopia" became a surprise hit for Disney, an original movie that grossed over $1 billion dollars worldwide and earned the movie an Academy Award for Best Animated Film. The exploits of cop Judy Hopps and con artist Nick Wilde was endearing to audiences, with deep emotional subject matter that adults could relate to with lavish, wonderful animation that made children's eyeballs glued to the screen. It was what an animated film needed to be on every level, and a sequel was all but guaranteed. Then the years passed one after another, and it seemed that a second adventure was all but forgotten - until now, almost ten years later, with a return trip to Zootopia. Proving time has no detriment to pure talent, the sequel far exceeded even the highest expectations and shattered worldwide records, earning over $1 billion dollars in just a few shor...
