Where two films share a score, we put the lead performance first. No Way Home has far more votes, but Garfield is one of three Spider-Men in it; Hacksaw Ridge is entirely his film.
1. Hacksaw Ridge (2016) — 8.1
Garfield plays Desmond Doss, the Seventh-day Adventist who refused to carry a weapon in World War II and saved dozens of wounded soldiers at Okinawa, becoming the first conscientious objector awarded the Medal of Honor. Directed by Mel Gibson, the film pairs a gentle first half with some of the most brutal combat scenes of its decade. It earned Garfield his first Best Actor Oscar nomination and won two Oscars, for editing and sound mixing.
2. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) — 8.1
Garfield’s return as Peter Parker was one of the worst-kept secrets in Hollywood and still landed as the emotional high point of the film. Seven years after The Amazing Spider-Man 2, he got to give his version of the character a moment of redemption, catching MJ in a scene that mirrors the death of Gwen Stacy. It changed how many fans saw his whole run in the suit.
3. The Social Network (2010) — 7.8
As Eduardo Saverin, Facebook’s co-founder and the friend Mark Zuckerberg pushes out, Garfield gives David Fincher’s film its heart. Opposite Jesse Eisenberg’s cold, fast-talking Zuckerberg, his hurt and anger are the audience’s way in. This was the role that made Hollywood notice him, and it led directly to Spider-Man.
4. tick, tick… BOOM! (2021) — 7.5
Garfield learned to sing for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s directing debut, playing Rent creator Jonathan Larson in the week before his 30th birthday, desperate to finish a musical before time runs out. It is a joyful, anxious, very personal performance, and it earned him his second Best Actor Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win. It is a Netflix original, so it streams on Netflix.
5. Silence (2016) — 7.2
In Martin Scorsese’s long-gestating passion project, Garfield plays a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit priest searching for his mentor in Japan, where Christians are being tortured into renouncing their faith. It is slow, punishing and deeply serious, and Garfield famously lost a large amount of weight for the role. It came out the same year as Hacksaw Ridge, and the two films make a striking pair: both are about men tested on their beliefs.
6. Never Let Me Go (2010) — 7.1
Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel, this quiet, heartbreaking drama follows three friends, played by Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Garfield, who grow up in an English boarding school and slowly learn what they were raised for. Garfield’s Tommy is raw and childlike, and his final scenes are some of the most affecting work of his career.
7. 99 Homes (2014) — 7.1
An overlooked gem. Garfield plays a Florida construction worker who is evicted from his home during the housing crisis, then goes to work for the ruthless real-estate broker who threw him out, played by Michael Shannon. It is a tense moral thriller about how far a decent person will go to survive, and it is one of his strongest dramatic performances.
8. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) — 7.0
Garfield’s first outing as Peter Parker gave the character a twitchier, more vulnerable energy, and his chemistry with Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy is still the most praised part of the film. The sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), rates lower at 6.6 and ended the series.
9. We Live in Time (2024) — 7.0
A non-linear romance opposite Florence Pugh, following a couple across a decade of meeting, falling in love, having a child and facing a cancer diagnosis. Garfield and Pugh’s chemistry carried it, and it became one of the more talked-about date-night dramas of its year.
10. The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) — 6.6
Garfield plays televangelist Jim Bakker opposite Jessica Chastain, who won the Best Actress Oscar as Tammy Faye. It is a supporting role, but a showy one, and it rounded out a remarkable 2021 in which he also had tick, tick… BOOM! and No Way Home.
Just Outside the Top 10
- Under the Silver Lake (2018, 6.5) — a strange, divisive Los Angeles neo-noir that has become a cult favorite.
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014, 6.6) — tied with Tammy Faye on score, but the weaker film.
- After the Hunt (2025) — his campus drama with Julia Roberts for director Luca Guadagnino.
On television, he also earned an Emmy nomination for the 2022 limited series Under the Banner of Heaven, which streams on Hulu.
