Robert Pattinson: 10 greatest movies of all time

9. Remember Me

Original Release Date: March 12, 2010

Box Office Earnings: The estimated $16m budget saw half of it made back at opening weekend. In the U.S., it grossed $19m but was more successful worldwide, grossing $56m.

Critical Acclaim: When it comes to Rotten Tomatoes, this wasn’t a success with the critics, seeing it get just 27%. However, audiences were a little fairer with a 69% score. In terms of awards, it was nominated for a number of small awards. Despite being on this list of best Robert Pattinson movies, he was also nominated for the Worst Actor Razzie in 2011.

About the Role: Pattinson plays Tyler Hawkins in Remember Me. He’s trying to deal with the loss of his brother, who killed himself before the movie begins. His parents have split because of it, causing more problems. However, Tyler just wants to live in hope with new girlfriend, Ally, who witnessed her mother’s murder when younger.

It’s a bittersweet tale, as two people full of hurt and pain come together. This backstory is important to understand the muted performance from Robert Pattinson throughout.

Simply the Best: Remember Me is a highly underrated movie that needs to be watched multiple times to truly appreciate the performance Robert Pattinson offers. And it’s a shame, because the twist at the end just doesn’t work in the same way after viewing it the first time. Like The Sixth Sense, Remember Me works best when you have no idea which building Pattinson’s character is in at the end of the movie.

Pattinson holds his own opposite Pierce Brosnan. Bear in mind that this was when Brosnan was still remembered as James Bond, despite years after his last movie, so it was important that someone could hold his own opposite him. For me, this gave us Pattinson in a non-Twilight related light, which was necessary after the Saga ended.
