- Knight and Day (2010) Teaming Mangold up with Tom Cruise on a spy-thriller is a good idea. Add in Cameron Diaz at the tail end of her box office juggernaut run, and, on paper, it should all work.
- Kate & Leopold (2001) As an 1800s duke transported into the 21st century, Hugh Jackman plays opposite the rom-com queen Meg Ryan in Mangold’s fantasy flick.
- The Wolverine (2013) Hugh Jackman’s sixth screen appearance as the adamantium-reinforced superhero was a tough sit for fans who had grown accustomed to the formula of the X-Men films and were only on the brink of becoming oversaturated with the MCU.
- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) What makes a movie like “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” work is it knows who it’s catering to… the fans.

Though The Wolverine is a flawed movie featuring the titular X-Men member played by Hugh Jackman, one thing's for sure: it's at least better than 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This one features Logan/Wolverine going to Japan, and encountering a Japanese soldier he saved at the end of World War II, yet is now interested in obtaining Wolverine's h...
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the fifth movie featuring the titular character, and it is not one of the best by any means, nor can it quite rank as a highlight within Harrison Ford's body of work. Negativity aside, it's not a terrible movie and finds some fun places to go and things to do, potentially making it a solid enough watch for s...
One of James Mangold's first movies, the first thing about Cop Land that jumps out is how amazing the cast is here. It's a film that stars Sylvester Stallone playing against type as a fairly mild-mannered, even shy police officer, with actors like Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, and Robert De Niroall putting in solid supporting performances. While this ...
Heavy's a movie that came out even before Cop Landand is probably one of the most obscure feature films directed by James Mangold. It's a small-scale character drama/romance movie centering on a shy, overweight man who falls for a young woman only to feel too insecure to tell her how he feels.

A very well-made and consistently entertaining thriller, Identityis a movie where the less said about the twist-filled plot, the better. It's initially about a group of people who all end up in a remote motel during a very heavy storm, only to find that someone among them poses a genuine threat and that all their lives are soon shown to be in dange...
Though it might be harder to take seriously in a post-Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story world, Walk the Line is still a very well-made and compelling music biopic. Its central character is famed country music star Johnny Cash, with the film covering his dramatic career and his relationship with fellow singer/songwriter June Carter. It's a movie worth ...
Though it's not an action movie in the traditional sense, Ford v Ferrariis undeniably exciting and able to get the heart racing, even for viewers who aren't usually interested in car racing. It's another biopic from Mangold, this time focusing on the rivalry between the two titular companies during the 1966 Le Mans race in France. RELATED: The Best...
A film largely set inside a psychiatric hospital, Girl, Interrupted might be James Mangold's most challenging movie but also one of his best. It stars Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie(the latter winning an Oscar for her performance) and is based on the memoir of Susanna Kaysen, who stayed in a psychiatric hospital for almost two years when she was a...
3:10 to Yuma is the second adaptation of the short story of the same name by Elmore Leonard: both adaptations end up differing a good deal, particularly as they go on. The core premise, however, is the same for each: it involves one man being hired to take a notorious outlaw to a train that will transport him to his trial, only to find himself deal...
There's no doubt about it: Logan is absolutely the best movie of James Mangold's career so far. After the flawed but mostly solid The Wolverine, this one ended up being the Wolverine movie that fans probably always wanted, sending the character off on one (purportedly) final, exciting, and extremely moving story that would have to be one of the bes...
