Every Single Danny Boyle Film, Ranked From 'Meh' to 'Masterpiece' (Spoiler: They're All Brilliant)

Danny Boyle, oh, Danny Boyle. Is he a cinematic genius or just a guy who got lucky with a few bangers? ๐Ÿค” Well, Moviefone (bless their cotton socks) is here to rank every single one of his directorial efforts, from the “meh” to the “OMG, my brain!” Buckle up, buttercups, because this is gonna be a wild ride of opinions, hot takes, and maybe a few accidental compliments. ๐Ÿ˜œ

First up, we have “Millions.” Aww, isn’t it cute? Two little boys find a bag of money. How precious. ๐Ÿ™„ Honestly, who cares? Next!

Then there’s “The Beach.” Ah yes, Leo looking all angsty and tropical. Did anyone actually understand what was going on in this movie? ๐ŸŒด Probably not. It’s basically just an excuse for pretty people to hang out in Thailand and pretend to be deep. ๐Ÿ™„

A Life Less Ordinary.” Angels? Kidnapping? Cameron Diaz with questionable hair? This movie is a hot mess express, and not in a good way. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ Did anyone even see this in theaters?

Shallow Grave.” Okay, this one’s actually not terrible. But let’s be real, it’s mostly memorable because Ewan McGregor is in it. And who doesn’t love Ewan McGregor? ๐Ÿ˜ (Don’t answer that.)

T2 Trainspotting.” A sequel no one asked for! ๐Ÿคฃ But hey, at least they got the original cast back together. For nostalgia’s sake, if nothing else. Did it live up to the hype? Debatable. But hey, drugs are bad, m’kay? ๐Ÿ’Š

127 Hours.” James Franco trapped under a rock. Riveting! ๐Ÿชจ Okay, fine, it’s actually pretty intense. But let’s be honest, most of us would have just given up and accepted our fate. Who has the willpower to cut off their own arm? Not me! ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ

Yesterday.” The Beatles, but only one guy remembers them? ๐Ÿค” Sounds like a bad dream I had after eating too much cheese. ๐Ÿง€ This movie is cute and all, but let’s be real, the premise is kinda dumb. Sorry, not sorry. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Trance.” Hypnosis, heists, and Rosario Dawson being a stone-cold fox. ๐Ÿ”ฅ This movie is all over the place, but at least it’s entertaining. Just don’t try to make sense of the plot, okay? ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

28 Years Later.” Zombies! ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ Danny Boyle is back at it, trying to scare us senseless. Will it be good? Who knows! But hey, at least it’ll probably be better than “28 Weeks Later.” (Sorry, not sorry.) ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Sunshine.” The sun is dying? Chris Evans is in space? Sounds like a recipe for disaster! ๐Ÿ”ฅโ˜€๏ธ Okay, fine, this movie is actually pretty good. But it’s also incredibly depressing. So, you know, watch it at your own risk. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Slumdog Millionaire.” Okay, okay, I’ll admit it. This movie is actually pretty great. ๐Ÿคฉ But did it really deserve all those Oscars? ๐Ÿ† Eh, maybe. But let’s be real, the ending is kinda cheesy. ๐Ÿง€

Steve Jobs.” Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs? ๐Ÿค” Okay, I’m intrigued. But let’s be real, no one can ever truly capture the essence of the turtleneck-wearing genius. ๐ŸŽ Still, it’s a decent biopic. I guess. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

28 Days Later.” The OG zombie flick that started it all! ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ This movie is a classic for a reason. It’s scary, it’s intense, and it has Cillian Murphy looking all disheveled and gorgeous. ๐Ÿ˜ What’s not to love?

Trainspotting.” Drugs, debauchery, and Ewan McGregor’s luscious locks. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค This movie is a masterpiece, plain and simple. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and it’s a whole lot of fun. If you haven’t seen it, what are you even doing with your life? ๐Ÿคจ
