In less than a decade of playing leading roles in movies, Timothée Chalamet has become one of Hollywood's biggest names. His movie-star looks and charisma make a big difference, of course, but he could not have achieved such rapid success without the serious talent to back it up. He has already worked with some of the finest filmmakers of the past decade, as well as some of the hottest blockbuster franchises.

Chalamet can play roles that are fierce and powerful or understated and contemplative. Even in small roles, he grabs the audience's attention. His long and varied career is just beginning, but here are the five best movies starring Timothée Chalamet that you can stream right now.

Chalamet got his break in Luca Guadagnino's languid romantic drama based on the novel by Andre Aciman, set in 1983 in a picturesque northern Italian town, where Chalamet plays the introverted and sensitive 17-year-old Elio. Hired to assist Elio's college professor father (Michael Stuhlbarg), Elio's admiration for the confident and assertive Oliver turns to passion as the two spend time together.

Chalamet delivers an understated performance that conveys the deep emotions Elio carries and heats up in his scenes with Hammer. Call Me by Your Name is sensual and gorgeous, but its most memorable moments are its quietest, culminating in a beautifully haunting final shot in which Chalamet captures the weight of Elio's entire experience without uttering a word.

Chalamet, who plays a charming, aloof bad boy who is clearly unworthy of Saoirse Ronan's protagonist, adds just enough of the pretentious jerk vibe to writer-director Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age film. Lady Bird herself is a bit of an obnoxious character, and it is no surprise that she is drawn to this leather-clad self-proclaimed intellectual who plays bass in a local band. The film follows Lady Bird's often painful journey to maturity and introspection, and part of that journey is learning to always avoid men like Kyle, played by Chalamet.

Kyle serves a purpose in the plot, but he is not a nuanced character. Still, Chalamet immediately embodies a certain kind of teenage faux outsider, recognizable across time and place. He knows how to make a memorable impression without stealing the spotlight from the actual protagonist.

Chalamet takes on a larger role in his second collaboration with filmmaker Greta Gerwig, once again co-starring Saoirse Ronan in Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's 1868 classic, "The Tale of the Tiger. In the film, Chalamet plays Laurie, a longtime friend of the March sisters and the love interest of Ronan's Jo and Florence Pugh's Amy. Rory may be a bit arrogant, but he is intelligent and kind-hearted, and it is easy to see why the two equally smart and sensitive March sisters are attracted to him.

Laurie is just one of the fascinating characters in Gerwig's version of Little Women, a nonlinear approach to Alcott's story of four sisters growing up in Civil War-era Massachusetts. The film takes a non-linear approach to Alcott's story of four sisters growing up in Civil War-era Massachusetts.

In Denis Villeneuve's ambitious adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic science fiction novel, Chalamet is the central character and the foundation of a story that depends on a dense and grand concept. In a story set thousands of years in the future, Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, heir to the ruling family of a planetary empire. When Paul's father gains control of the planet Arrakis, Paul finds himself in the middle of a massive battle involving the most powerful people in the galaxy and the natives of Arrakis, known as the Freemen.

As various factions vie for supremacy over the precious resource of spice, Paul emerges as a leader and savior. Chalamet portrays the human conflict in a film full of heady science fiction ideas and dazzling special effects.

In a very different, but equally shocking and immersive romance from Call Me by Your Name, Chalamet reunites with filmmaker Luca Guadagnino. He plays Lee, a young drifter who bonds with Maren (Taylor Russell), a teenage runaway, through a primal attraction. Both are born with a strange urge to eat human flesh, and they travel across the country to meet others like them and help each other understand this affliction.

While "Bones & All" has plenty of disturbing horror elements, Guadagnino uses cannibalism as a metaphor for any outsider, creating an atmosphere of ethereal romance. Chalamet and Russell create an intuitive chemistry that mirrors the two characters' insatiable lust for blood and each other.
