Always been a big name in the world of acting, but I have always seen as a bit over-rated, but when he shines it never really gets praised enough.
From his breakthrough in 1997, Law has become a household name. His career highlights have been three Golden Globe nominations, two Oscar nominations and a BAFTA win all in films that have ended up in my top ten.
All of the films in this list are worth watching. They do include two films that are in my top-100 of all-time and one that used to be in there.
Out of his 60 films, I have only seen 28 of them.
28) Peter Pan & Wendy
27) The Holiday
26) Anna Karenina
25) Repo Man
24) All The King's Men
23) Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald
22) Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore
21) Captain Marvel
20) Black Sea
19) eXistenZ
18) A Series Of Unfortunate Events
17) Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows
16) Rise Of The Guardians
15) Sherlock Holmes
14) Alfie
13) Spy
12) Contagion
11) Side Effects
10) Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow - Did not get the praise it deserved in my opinion. This wonderfully old-school feel adventure sees Law as the dashing Sky Captain, the best pilot in the business.
With the help of a tenacious reporter, they are in search of missing scientists.
What they find is something they could not have imagined in their wildest dreams. This is great fun.
9) Road To Perdition - When a son witnesses what his father does for a living, their loyalty is put to the test.
With Tom Hanks leading the way, Law plays a minor role.
Law plays a crime scene photographer who also has another profession that he does not want many people to know about.
8) Enemy At The Gates - A wonderfully tense war thriller that sees a Russian and German sniper go head-to-head in the middle of the battle of Stalingrad.
With Law up against Ed Harris, there troubled characters hooks us in to an terrific battle of the best sharp-shooters in Europe.
7) The Aviator - One of Martin Scorsese's most under-rated features that shows the life of troubled director Howard Hughes.
With Leonardo DiCaprito leading the way as Hughes, we see Law play the icon himself Errol Flynn.
An character who has been a big part of my childhood, I can easily appeal to Law's character. Also, the history shown within this film really gives us an interesting vision of the film business from the 1920's-40's.
6) Cold Mountain - Winner of one Oscar nomination and one of Law's nominated roles as a Civil War soldier making a dangerous back home from war to be with his sweetheart.
From the eye-catching opening scene to the well developed story, this was definitely a big film in the year it was released (2003).
Check out also Renee Zellwegger's Oscar winning performance.
5) The Talented Mr. Ripley - The film that made Jude Law the poster boy of the late 1990's.
Based on successful novel, Law plays millionaire playboy Dickie Greenleaf.
But when a young achiever Tom Ripley (played by Matt Damon) comes searching for him in Italy to take him back to America, Greenlead's relationship with his girlfriend (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) and his life are in danger with an unpredictable Ripley on the scene.
4) The Grand Budapest Hotel - A small role for Law in this one, but an important that sets us up for the wonderful latest installment by director Wes Anderson.
His usual quirkiness is there. But it seems, this is his masterpiece and everything has come together.
With a star-studded cast, get ready for something quite bonkers but consistently hilarious.

3) Gattaca - This could well be one of the most under-rated films of all-time.
Despite recently leaving my top 100 films of all-time, it is still an unforgettable viewing experience.
In a world where your genes sets that path you live, one inferior man takes the identity of another man to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.
Law plays the now disabled Olympic swimmer Jerome Morrow who helps Ethan Hawk's character of living his dream.
2) Hugo - My film of 2011 and a more family friendly feature from Martin Scorsese.
Set in 1930's Paris, an orphan boy working the clocks in a railway station stumbles upon a mystery that will change his and many others lives forever.
It is utterly charming and is a wonderful family adventure that explores the world of early film-making.
Law plays the father of the orphan boy.
1) A.I. Atrificial Intelligence - Director Steven Spielberg gives us a sci-fi version of the classic Pinocchio story.
A young robotic boy is longing to become human and is on the path for his own 'Blue Fairy'. With the help of a robot that is programmed as a male prostitute a.k.a Gigolo Joe (player by Jude Law), the young robot embarks on an epic journey in a world where robots and human on the brink of war.
Law ends up with a Golden Globe nomination as Joe.
It is near-perfect and one of Spielberg's best.
