From Atonement to Split, Golden Globe nominee James McAvoy always knows how to keep audiences on their toes.  But what are his 10 best movies?

From his time on the original British version of Shameless, James McAvoy seemed destined for great things.  A young method actor in the making, McAvoy started to pile on his credits as a versatile actor in the business.  From his early role as Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia, many saw his potential and knew it was only a matter of time before he blew up as a prominent actor in Hollywood.

From Romantic roles like Atonement that put him on the map to a psychological thriller in M. Night Shyamalan’s Split, McAvoy has shown he isn’t afraid of the task at hand and can dive into any role he desires.  Barely turned 40 years old this year, he still finds the time to research his roles and transition from drama to comedy to romance to horror is just a stepping stone of what he is capable and how he is really only scratching the surface.

With over 54 credits under his belt as an actor, which role stands out the most and what movie can be categorized as his “greatest of all time”?
