Most filmmakers, if they’re fortunate, will experience a career filled with peaks and valleys. Few, however, have navigated a journey as turbulent and unpredictable as Danny Boyle’s. Bursting onto the scene in the mid-90s with two critically acclaimed films that still rank among his finest, Boyle quickly followed up with a pair of ambitious but underwhelming projects. He then revitalized the zombie genre with a modern horror classic, only to follow it with another misstep. This pattern—brilliance followed by misfire, reinvention, and resurgence—has defined his career.
Now, Boyle returns to theaters this weekend with his first film in six years: 28 Years Later. As anticipation builds, it's the perfect moment to revisit his cinematic legacy. Below is a ranking of all 13 of Danny Boyle’s theatrically released films to date.
