Joseph Gordon-Levitt turns 34 today and he’s one of those actors who seems to get better and better as time goes on. These two reasons are enough to do a list on him today, aren’t they? (Yes)

I think it’s weird I haven’t seen ten movies he’s been in, but it’s also weird that I didn’t remember he was in Lincoln, so maybe I don’t even know what’s weird anymore.

Here are all the JGL movies I’ve seen, and I actually like every one of them:

9. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For – If they’d made this movie a year or two after the first one, I suspect it would’ve been received more excitedly.

8. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – The sequel was way more fun, but if you ignore the sinking ice in this one you can still enjoy many parts of it.

7. Lincoln – We no longer need to make any more Lincoln movies, as this one and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter have us covered.

6. Looper – I’m a sucker for time travel movies, Bruce Willis movies, and cool movies, so this one was right up my alley.

5. (500) Days of Summer – One of my favorite “rom-coms,” (top five, for sure) though it hardly fits that category.

4. 50/50 – I’m sure this movie isn’t for everyone, and I’m sure my opinion will change on it from decade to decade, but I really liked it the first (and only, so far) time I saw it.

3. The Dark Knight Rises – People griped about this movie a lot, but I really like it. If they did follow-ups where JGL’s character took up the Batcape, I’d probably like those as well. But he’d be supercool as Nightwing, too, so maybe they should just do that.

2. Inception – BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAM

1. 10 Things I Hate About You – This is more a Julia Stiles movie, sure, but JGL gets some fun stuff. If I ever do a Heath Ledger list, you can look for this one near the top spot (probably #2 after The Dark Knight, really).
