When you think of a Channing Tatum movie, what comes to mind first? Is it his comedy skills in 21 Jump Street? His dramatic turn in Foxcatcher? His explicit dancing in a welding workshop in Magic Mike XXL? Regardless of what it is, there's a good chance a Channing Tatum performance has won your over one way or another in the time since he hit the scene back in the 2000s.
Channing's career has been varied and proves that he can do everything from performing show-stopping dance scenes to being an action hero. But with such a long resume, it's time to narrow down his best films. Here are the 8 best Channing Tatum movies you can count on for your next movie night.
Step Up
Step Up is a quintessential dance movie. A poor guy and a rich girl with different dance experiences come together to perform at an important audition. Will their styles mesh? Will they nail their performance? Will they find love? You can guess the answer to everything. As a bonus, the 2006 movie shows Channing and his now-ex-wife Jenna Dewan actually falling for each other.
21 Jump Street
2012 was a big year for Channing with roles in 21 Jump Street, The Vow, *and* Magic Mike. In the adaptation of the '80 series 21 Jump Street, he stars alongside Jonah Hill as two cops who have to go undercover as high schoolers while very obviously not being teenagers.
Magic Mike
You can't make a list of Channing Tatum movies and not mention Magic Mike. You just can't. The film is inspired by his own life story, beginning with his gig as a stripper in Florida before transitioning into modeling and acting. It's also surprisingly dramatic, especially if you've only seen the more over-the-top sequel.
The Lego Movie
Unlike the other movies on the list, Channing doesn't have a huge role in 2014's The Lego Movie, but (1) he voices Lego Superman, and (2) The Lego Movie is fantastic. You can also see Channing reprise his toy superhero role in The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.
Foxcatcher
Also in 2014, Channing stared Foxcatcher as Olympic gold medalist/wrestler Mark Schultz. The movie is based on the true story of Mark's brother (and fellow wrestler) Dave Schultz's murder. So yes, it's a real dramatic departure compared to some of Channing's other well known movies.
Magic Mike XXL
Like Magic Mike but want more dancing, more stripping, more partying, and more jokes? 2015's Magic Mike XXL is for you.
Hail, Caesar!
Hail, Caesar! is an ensemble comedy about 1950s Hollywood. One of the most memorable movie scenes is thanks to Channing, who gets to perform an amazing tap dance routine in an old timey sailor getup.
Logan Lucky
In 2017, Channing starred in the dramedy Logan Lucky. He and Adam Driver play brothers who attempt a heist on a race track complex. But, like, in a funny way.
