Who is Margot Robbie?
Margot Robbie was born on July 2, 1990, in Queensland, Australia. She began her acting career in Australian television series and independent films before her international breakthrough.

Top 10 Margot Robbie Movies:
10. Bombshell (2019)
Coming in at number 10 in the list of best Margot Robbie movies is Bombshell. Robbie plays the part of Kayla Pospisil, a character based on real-life individuals in this drama about a toxic workplace environment and sexual harassment at Fox News. She was praised for her nuanced portrayal and earned herself a 2020 Oscar nomination for supporting actress.
9. Focus (2015)
This Will Smith and Margot Robbie movie is worth a watch for all fans of crime-dramas. In this romantic crime caper, Robbie stars alongside Will Smith as a talented con artist. The chemistry between the two leads and Robbie’s magnetic presence make Focus a must-watch. Although this genre has plenty of well-known titles, Margot Robbie brings something unique to this role that makes the movie itself stand out from the crowd.
8. Birds of Prey (2020)
Robbie reprised her role as Harley Quinn in this action-packed film from 2020. After breaking up with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins forces with Huntress, Renee Montoya and Black Canary to protect a young girl from an evil crime lord. Robbie brings the same chaotic energy to the Harley Quinn character in Birds of Prey as in previous films, giving audiences more of what they want.
7. Z for Zachariah (2015)
Robbie delivers a gripping performance in this post-apocalyptic drama. Playing a midwestern woman surviving post-apocalypse and embroiled in a love triangle with two potential love interests, Robbie carries this film with her performance.
6. Amsterdam (2022)
Although this film was slated by critics, Margot Robbie brings an interesting charm to her role as a nurse who creates art from shrapnel taken from soldiers’ wounds. Despite the less than favourable reviews, Amsterdam’s cast includes Christan Bale, Robert De Niro and Taylor Swift. This period title blends comedy, mystery and elements of thriller making it worth a watch for any avid fans of these genres.
5. The Big Short (2015)
Although Robbie’s appearance in The Big Short is itself, incredibly short, the movie is too good not to feature in this list. Delving into the mid-2000s housing market collapse in America and simply explaining the complex situation surrounding it, The Big Short shows how a few individuals made a lot of money during this turbulent time. Featuring a star-studded cast including Steve Carrell, Christian Bale, Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling, this one definitely needs to be added to your watchlist.
4. Suicide Squad (2016)
Margot Robbie’s first appearance as Harley Quinn cemented her as a firm favourite among fans. Her portrayal of the unpredictable and charismatic character was unmatched and she stole the show with her on screen depiction in Suicide Squad.
3. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
Playing Shanon Tate in what Quentin Tarantino believes to be his best film, Robbie once again stands out among a star studded cast. Despite having relatively little dialogue, Robbie still manages to get her character across on screen and said herself that she rarely gets as much “opportunity to spend so much time on [her] own as a character.”
Set after the Golden Age of cinema, Tarantino slightly rewrites history in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood when covering the Manson Family Murders. This instant classic is perhaps his best movie to date.
2. I, Tonya (2017)
As far as movies with Margot Robbie go, I, Tonya is one of the best. Her performance as figure skater Tonya Harding in this biographical dark comedy-drama garnered acclaim among fans and critics alike. The film did well to get across the tragic character Robbie was portraying and she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance.
1. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Our favourite Margot Robbie movie to date has to be The Wolf of Wall Street. Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film showcased Robbie’s exceptional talent alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. Her portrayal of Naomi Lapaglia, the second wife of Jordan Belfort, earned her widespread recognition. The film itself is a fan favourite and Robbie’s role cemented her as a true Hollywood talent.
