10 Joseph Gordon-Levitt Movies That Never Get Old

From his quirky (and adorable) personality to his varying roles in films, how can anyone not like Joseph Gordon-Levitt? He is an actor who is fit for any role, as well as someone who can make Lip Sync Battle look easy and natural. Not only is he talented, but he's also stylish and humorous. Here are some movies that we know him from.

1. "50/50"

Levitt plays the unforgettable Adam Lerner, who learns that he has cancer after always trying to maintain his health. While struggling with his condition, he is cheated on by his girlfriend and faces other struggles that come his way. His friendship with his best friend, played by Seth Rogen, plays a key role as well as the blooming relationship with his therapist, played by Anna Kendrick.

2. "(500) Days of Summer"

Levitt and Deschanel play a couple that leaves most people wishing that they existed in real life. Although their relationship seems admirable and unique at first, things quickly become complicated and what appears to be a love story becomes a story about moving on and self discovery.

3. "Looper"

Levitt surprises his audience with his physical transformation as he plays Bruce Willis' younger version in "Looper." Not only does he look identical to Willis, but Levitt spent time studying him and his past movies to play a more convincing role. Levitt plays Willis' younger self, as Willis time travels back and forth as a hit man.

4. "Inception"

Levitt and Leonardo DiCaprio play roles that work together in this movie, along with a team of talented individuals who illegally enter people's subconscious minds to gain important information. His character is DiCaprio's right-hand man and organizer, making sure that everything works according to plan.

5. "Lincoln"

Levitt takes on a more serious role as he plays Abraham Lincoln's oldest son, Robert, in the film "Lincoln." This film highlights the complicated relationship between the father and son as it takes place towards the end of the American Civil War.

6. "The Wind Rises"

Even though he plays an animated character, his role is passionate, heartfelt, and fitting for his personality. "The Wind Rises" is an animated romance and drama film that consists of the main character, Jiro Horikoshi, chasing his dreams of becoming a pilot. On his journey he falls in love with Naoko, who is voiced by Emily Blunt.

7. "The Dark Knight Rises"

In the famous "The Dark Knight Rises," Levitt plays Officer Blake of the Gotham PD. He plays an essential role as he works with Gordon and Batman to liberate Gotham. It is also revealed that his name is "Robin," which is a way to include the character, without making him the traditional sidekick.

8. "Premium Rush"

In "Premium Rush" Levitt plays Wilee, a bike messenger, who is used to his dangerous job of dodging traffic, pedestrians, and other hazards that would harm him while on the job. He gains possession of a letter that has the interest of a cop, resulting in a dangerous chase throughout Manhattan.

9. "Manic"

In one of his earlier films, Levitt plays the role of an adolescent who is placed in a juvenile mental institution. He meets other teens who also have experience with abuse and violence while in the institution and begins to build a relationship with them, which helps him hold on.

10. "Angels In The Outfield"

Of course, we can't forget his younger days in "Angels In The Outfield."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
