Angelina Jolie movies in order

Filmmaker, humanitarian, Academy Award-winner, and of course, actress, Angelina Jolie is all of these and more. As far as Hollywood is concerned, she’s also Tinsel Town royalty, as well as box-office gold. 

If Jolie is in your picture, audiences take note. In turn this has resulted in Angelina Jolie being named as the industry’s highest-paid actress (on more than one occasion), as well as an instantly recognisable face.

For some she is Lara Croft, while for others she is Maleficent. Then there are those who simply know the actress from her movies, such as The Changeling, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, or Girl, Interrupted.

But wherever you know Angelina Jolie from, you’ll know she has had a great career. Since making her on-screen debut, Jolie has gone from strength-to-strength, building up her portfolio and then some!

1980s and 1990s

Angelina Jolie made her acting debut as a child, taking a small appearance in the 1982 film, Lookin’ to Get Out, which starred her father, Jon Voight. Credited under the name of Angelina Jolie Voight, this brief brush with fame would give her a taste for the industry.

Eleven years passed before Jolie would return to the movie business, and when she did it was via the 1993 sci-fi film, Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow. By now Jolie was an adult, and was back in the industry for good.

From here Jolie landed a part in Hackers, which raised her profile, before appearing in Hell’s Kitchen and Pushing Tin. Her career was then elevated when she starred opposite Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector, before appearing in Girl, Interrupted, which bagged her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

• Lookin’ to Get Out (1982)
