Milla Jovovich Movies In Order

Alright, gather 'round, let's talk about Milla! Jovovich! The name alone sounds like a superhero origin story, doesn't it? "Born under a Serbian star, young Millennia… Milla!… was destined to kick zombie butt and rock a fashion-forward bandage dress!" Okay, maybe I'm embellishing. A little. But only a little. We're diving headfirst into the wild and wonderful world of Milla Jovovich movies, in order, because who doesn't love a good chronology?

Starting at the Very Beginning (a Very Good Place to Start)

First up, we've got Two Moon Junction (1988). Milla was just a wee lass, playing Samantha Delongpre. Picture this: a sultry Southern romance, barely-legal Milla, and… well, let's just say it's not exactly Resident Evil. Think more Days of Our Lives with a slightly European flair. I haven't seen it personally, but I'm pretty sure there are more horses than explosions.

Next, Kuffs (1992). Christian Slater! George Hamilton! And Milla playing Maya Carlton. This movie is peak '90s wacky action-comedy. Slater inherits a police district (somehow), hilarity ensues, and Milla provides a touch of… well, she's there! Honestly, the movie is probably more memorable for Slater's perpetually surprised face than anything else. But hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere!

Then comes Chaplin (1992). Okay, this is more like it! Milla plays Mildred Harris, Chaplin's first wife. It's a brief role, but it's a serious, biographical drama, showcasing a different side of her. Suddenly, we're not just seeing a pretty face, but a real actress doing real acting. Shocking, I know.

The Fashionably Confusing Middle Years

Okay, here's where things get interesting. We have Dazed and Confused (1993). A cult classic! Milla plays Michelle Burroughs, girlfriend of Pink. It's a small role, but iconic nonetheless. It solidified her as the "cool girl" that everyone wanted to hang out with. Plus, who can resist a movie with Matthew McConaughey uttering the immortal words, "Alright, alright, alright?"

After that, get ready for The Night Train to Kathmandu (1988) also known as Le Vent de la Nuit (1999). Imagine you're backpacking through Europe after college. Your parents gave you a little money. You're just trying to figure out life. Then, someone asks you to be in a film. You say yes of course! And it becomes this semi-interesting, slightly confusing flick, with mixed reviews, and a plot that's… abstract. Got it? That's this one. The things you do when you're young!

Then, wham! He Got Game (1998). Spike Lee directed this movie starring Denzel Washington. Milla plays Dakota Burns, a prostitute. It's a gritty, powerful film and Milla is... heartbreaking. Talk about range! From kooky comedies to gritty dramas, she's proving she can do it all.

And then there's The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999). Luc Besson directed this epic historical drama, with Milla as Joan of Arc. Did it get mixed reviews? Yes. Did it have insane battle scenes? YES. Did it cement Milla as an action star? Absolutely. This film is visually stunning, and whether you love or hate it, you can't deny Milla's commitment to the role. Plus, she met her future husband (Luc Besson) on set, so… worth it?

Zombie Time and Beyond!

Alright, folks, buckle up. We're entering the Resident Evil zone. Starting with Resident Evil (2002), Milla became synonymous with Alice, the amnesiac badass kicking zombie butt in increasingly improbable ways. This franchise is her bread and butter, and it's what most people know her for. There are six films in total (Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012), and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016). Each one ramps up the action, the ridiculousness, and the sheer number of zombies exploded. They are what they are. Gloriously cheesy, action-packed fun.

But Milla isn't just about zombies! She's also been in Ultraviolet (2006). Another futuristic action flick, but with a heavy dose of style. Think Equilibrium meets The Fifth Element. Stylish costumes and lots of gravity-defying stunts.

Then, of course, there's The Fourth Kind (2009). A "found footage" alien abduction movie that's legitimately creepy. It preys on a certain part of our lizard brain. The kind that makes you check under the bed at night.

And let's not forget The Perfect Getaway (2009). A suspenseful thriller with a twisty plot. Milla plays Cydney Anderson, one half of a honeymooning couple who find themselves caught in a terrifying game. Very fun.

She took on roles in Stone (2010), Dirty Girl (2010), The Three Musketeers (2011). And then popped up as herself in Zoolander 2 (2016).

In more recent years, there's been Hellboy (2019), Monster Hunter (2020), The Rookies (2019) and Survivor (2015). She stays booked and busy. So you're very likely to find her popping up on a screen near you!

So, there you have it! A whirlwind tour of Milla Jovovich's filmography. From awkward beginnings to zombie-slaying superstardom, she's had a career that's been nothing if not interesting. So next time you're looking for something to watch, give a Milla Jovovich movie a try. You might be surprised at what you find!
