The 1980s
Depp kick-started his movie career in the mid ‘80s, with a role in the iconic horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street. The actor took on the part of teenager Glen Lantz, who found himself the unwitting victim of serial killer, Freddy Krueger.
From here Depp appeared in films such as Private Resort and Platoon, and although his movie career was only just getting started, he was beginning to make his mark. Johnny Depp’s movies during the 1980s include:
- A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
- Private Resort (1985)
- Slow Burn (1986)
- Platoon (1986)
It’s important to note that while Depp appeared in relatively few films during the 1980s, this was largely due to the actor’s busy schedule filming the television show, 21 Jump Street. The series ran from 1987 until 1990.

One Response to Johnny Depp movies in order
My favorite is Lone Ranger.. I love westerns. But really hard to pick a favorite. Loved all the Pirates. Chocolat loved but johnny not in it enough. Donnie Brasco. Secret Window. Those are my favorites. Not seen most, had no idea he had so many. Didn’t become a fan until I saw him on David Letterman. Seems to be a really decent cool guy. Not all his movies appeal to me but I do enjoy his acting and interviews and now he’s a musician and artist as well. What an incredibly talented man.
