Danny Boyle's Films: A Definitive Ranking

by Aaliyah Jan 02,2026

Most filmmakers, if fortunate, experience a long career marked by both triumphs and setbacks. However, few have ridden such an extreme rollercoaster as Danny Boyle—endured might be the more fitting word. He burst onto the scene in the mid-'90s with two films widely regarded as his finest, then immediately faltered with a couple of self-indulgent projects. Boyle later revitalized the zombie horror genre, only to follow it with another critical disappointment. Repeat this cycle a few times, and you have one of cinema's most unpredictable filmographies.

Boyle returns to theaters this weekend with his first feature in six years: 28 Years Later. If you're looking to revisit the highlights of his career, here is our ranking of all 13 theatrically released films by Danny Boyle to date.
