John Travolta movies in order

In 1974, John Travolta made his film debut via an uncredited role in the television movie, Nightmare. From here he followed up his acting work with appearances in films such as The Devil’s Rain, The Tenth Level, and Carrie.

To begin with, his on-screen roles were small parts, which is true of any actor in show business, but soon his star status began to grow as audiences took the actor to their hearts. This in turn increased his presence on the big screen, and propelled his career toward the icon he would eventually become.

But how familiar are you with John Travolta’s back catalogue of movies? If you were asked to name them all what would you say?

Well, don’t worry, because I can help. In this post you will find a list of all John Travolta’s movies, presented in chronological order, starting with minor roles and bit parts in his early pictures, and running through to more substantial roles in later life.
