Once you accept the sentence “Gerard Butler is a scientist,” all bets are off. Butler stars as a man who designed a network of satellites that can literally control the weather, but the satellites get hijacked by a madman who wants to take over the world. This film is pureRoland Emmerich 90s disaster trash (it was co-written and directed by Emmeric...
American audiences got their first real taste of Gerard Butler when he played Dracula in the imaginatively titled 2000 horror film Dracula 2000. Let me be the first to tell you that this movie is both A) dumb as shit, and B) extremely fun to watch. Butler’s performance is little more than smoldering, open-mouthed looks (he doesn’t speak his first l...
Though there is some fun to be found towards the end of Plane, the most recently released entry on this here list, there isn’t a whole lot to be had in the journey to get there. A movie with a premise where Butler plays a man who has to conduct an emergency landing of a plane and then battle off attackers sounds like it could be great fun. Alas, ev...
Olympus Has Fallen is like the angry stepbrother of Roland Emmerich’s White House Down. Both movies were released the same year, but Olympus Has Fallen eschews all the shlocky fun of Emmerich’s movie in favor of an overserious action thriller. Gerard Butler plays a Secret Service agent Die Harding his way through the White House after it is taken o...
DirectorRic Roman Waugh’s brutal apocalypse movie stars Butler as John Garrity, a structural engineer whose family is selected to report to a top-secret bunker after a world-ending comet begins to break up and pummel the Earth’s surface. However, Garrity’s diabetic son is denied access, and he and his wife Allison (Morena Baccarin) are separated in...
Den of Thieves is a little too long and a little too devoted to Gerard Butler as its star, but if you stick with it, it turns into a rewarding heist film with a shootout climax that echoes Michael Mann’s Heat in terms of stakes and intensity. Butler plays a perpetually drunk scumbag detective hot on the trail of a team of criminal masterminds, atte...
Reign of Fire is one of the most gloriously stupid movies I have ever experienced, and while it is by no means “good,” it is undeniably “a movie featuring baldMatthew McConaughey rocketing through the air and swinging an ax into a dragon’s face” by every possible definition of that very specific phrase. Gerard Butler plays Creedy, Christian Bale’s ...
The Vanishing, in addition to just being a well-constructed and chilling thriller, is also the one film on this list that is likely the most underseen and underrated work that Butler has done. Based on a real disappearance of a crew that was working the Flannan Isles Lighthouse in 1900, it is a film that just keeps getting darker and darker the lon...
I am ashamed to admit I found The Ugly Truth more charming than I expected. It’s a brisk 90-minute R-rated romcom starring two unfairly attractive people (Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl) who share some genuine chemistry in-between scenes of John Michael Higgins ranting about a bird in his dressing room and women wrestling in Jello. Heigl is a TV...
When going back through all the movies in Butler’s filmography, Copshop is the one that proves to be the most scrappy and mean entry that is way more fun than it has any business being. Taking place almost entirely in a single police station, it begins with a con artist named Teddy (Frank Grillo) who is trying to hide out in this location in the ho...

- How to Train Your Dragon. The first place on this list couldn't be anything else. "How to Train Your Dragon" is not only one of the best American films of the 21st century, but also one of precious few mainstream movies that have taken Butler seriously: He's an imposing leading man and a platonic old-school macho figure, yes, but dammit, the man also has a heart!
- Dear Frankie. Butler, regrettably, hasn't done a lot of small-scale indie dramas — ones you find in the program of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes.
- How to Train Your Dragon 2. Sometimes, stunt casting in animated films can be grating. Other times, it works wonders. Butler as an unfeeling Viking dad named Stoick could have gone either way, really, as could have the "How to Train Your Dragon" series as a whole.
- Reign of Fire. Every superstar actor has two or three cult movies in their catalog — those controversial, initially panned films that eventually find a small but passionate audience.
