6. Penelope
Scoff as much as you would like but Penelope is both a solidly entertaining love story as well as a nice spotlight on McAvoy’s ability to play the love interest. While he isn’t the lead in the film and his character doesn’t go through the emotional storyline as Christina Ricci’s does, he has a magnetism that draws eyes when he’s onscreen and is completely convincing as someone Penelope would year for.
