3. Suicide Squad: Harley Quinn
We can’t talk about Margot without bowing down to the Queen of Gotham. She brought so much chaotic energy to Harley that it’s impossible to imagine anyone else in those hot pants. Even when the movie itself had… let’s say, ‘mixed reviews,’ Margot was the absolute highlight. She literally made us want to dye our hair pink and blue. Total legend move.
4. I, Tonya: Tonya Harding
If you want to see Margot actually act, this is the one. She was unrecognizable! The transformation was insane, and that skating? She did so much of it herself. It’s a dark, gritty, and honestly hilarious look at one of sports’ biggest scandals. She earned that Oscar nom, and honestly, she should have taken home the trophy. It’s a masterpiece of a performance, no exaggeration.
5. Birds of Prey: The Return of Harley
This movie was so underrated, it actually hurts. It’s colorful, it’s loud, and it’s pure fun. Margot’s Harley is even more unhinged here, and we are absolutely living for the fight scenes. The egg sandwich scene? Iconic. If you want a movie to watch with your besties while eating snacks, this is the one. Stop sleeping on it, people!
6. Mary Queen of Scots: Queen Elizabeth I
Okay, so she looks terrifying in this, but that’s the point! She buried herself under pounds of makeup to play a lonely, powerful Queen. It’s a vibe. Seeing her go toe-to-toe with Saoirse Ronan was everything my theater-kid heart ever wanted. It’s historical, it’s dramatic, and it’s a reminder that Margot can literally do anything. Even with a receding hairline, she’s still serving face.
7. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Sharon Tate
Margot didn’t have a ton of dialogue, but she didn’t need it. The way she portrayed Sharon’s pure joy and innocence was heartbreaking and beautiful. She just glowed on screen. It’s a love letter to cinema, and Margot was the perfect person to embody that golden era of Hollywood. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
8. Babylon: Nellie LaRoy
This movie was a fever dream, and Margot was the absolute chaotic center of it all. She played a silent film star with so much raw, messy energy that I couldn’t look away. It’s a long one, but for Margot’s performance alone? Worth every single minute. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s peak Robbie. You’ll be thinking about that party scene for weeks, I promise.
9. Focus: Jess Barrett
The chemistry between her and Will Smith? Unreal. This is the perfect ‘I want to watch a stylish heist movie’ flick. She’s a con artist, she’s chic, and she’s smarter than everyone else in the room. It’s lowkey one of my favorite comfort movies. If you haven’t seen it, get on it. The twist? You’ll never see it coming.
10. Bombshell: Kayla Pospisil
This role was so heavy and important. Margot’s performance as a young news producer navigating a toxic workplace was gut-wrenching. She handled the vulnerability so perfectly. It’s a tough watch, but it’s incredibly powerful. She really proved here that she’s not just a movie star, but a serious, heavy-hitting actress. A total powerhouse performance.

Jane isn’t just a damsel in distress here, and that’s why we love her. Margot brings so much grit to the role. It’s a big, sweeping adventure movie that’s perfect for a rainy Sunday. Plus, the costumes? Stunning. She really makes you believe she could hold her own in the middle of the jungle. A total classic blockbuster vibe.
12. Neighbours: Donna Freedman
We have to respect the roots! Before the Oscars and the blockbusters, she was a soap opera star. It’s so wholesome to look back at her early work. She was already magnetic even then. If you’re a real fan, you’ve watched at least one clip of her on YouTube. It’s the origin story, baby! Total nostalgia, and we love to see it.
