The Blake Lively Cinematic Universe: A Journey Through Her Best Films

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your popcorn, for we're about to embark on a cinematic odyssey through the career of one of Hollywood's most charming and versatile actresses, Blake Lively. Here's a rundown of six of her best films, including her latest venture, "It Ends With Us," which has everyone talking, or should I say, tweeting.

1. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

Before she was Serena van der Woodsen, Blake was Bridget Vreeland, the fiery, free-spirited one of the group. This film, based on Ann Brashares' beloved novel, captured the essence of teenage friendship with a pair of magical jeans. Blake's performance was like a fine wine in a teen drama - it aged well, even if the pants didn't.

2. The Town (2010)

Here, Blake ditched the high school halls for the gritty streets of Boston, playing opposite Ben Affleck. Her role as Krista Coughlin was a departure from her usual fare, showcasing her ability to dive into darker, more complex characters. It's where she proved she could be more than just the pretty face; she could be the plot twist you didn't see coming.

3. Green Lantern (2011)

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Yes, it's often cited as a misstep, but let's give credit where it's due: Blake's performance as Carol Ferris was one of the few bright spots in a film that could've been used as a nightlight. Her chemistry with Ryan Reynolds (who, let's be honest, was also the real hero of the film) was undeniable.

4. A Simple Favor (2018)

This film was Blake's return to the spotlight with a bang. Playing Emily Nelson, a vlogger who gets entangled in a mystery involving her friend's disappearance, Blake showed off her comedic timing, her ability to handle dark humor, and, oh, did I mention, she looked fabulous doing it? This movie was like a cocktail of suspense, humor, and fashion, with Blake serving as the cherry on top.

5. The Age of Adaline (2015)

Here, Blake plays Adaline Bowman, a woman who stops aging at 29 due to a freak accident. It's a role that required her to convey decades of life experience with a timeless beauty, which, let's face it, Blake has in spades. This film was a visual and emotional treat, with Lively's performance being the timeless element that holds it all together.

6. It Ends With Us (2024)

And now, the pièce de résistance, or as some might say, the pièce de resistance to domestic drama. Based on Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel, Blake steps into the shoes of Lily Bloom, a role that's both challenging and poignant. This film isn't just about love; it's about breaking cycles, facing trauma, and, yes, wearing fabulous outfits while doing so. Critics might debate its depth, but there's no denying Lively's commitment to bringing Lily's story to life, making it not just a movie but a conversation starter.

Blake Lively's career is a tapestry of roles that range from the light-hearted to the deeply emotional, proving that she's not just a star but a versatile actress who can carry a film on her shoulders, or in this case, on her fabulous fashion choices. From Boston's tough streets to the pages of a bestselling novel, Blake Lively has shown us that she's here to stay, and we're all the better for it. Here's to more movies, more fashion, and more Blake Lively moments that make us all wish we had her wardrobe and her acting chops.
