I can recall being one of the many young men who reached adolescence in the mid-to-late-2000s and instantly developed a crush on Megan Fox after Transformers came out. As I grew up, that crush would evolve into a genuine admiration for her talent, as the now 35-year-old actress has continued to prove herself time and time again in various movies and a few TV shows. You can find the strongest examples of her impeccable abilities in the following list of the best Megan Fox movies, with a tip of where to find them on streaming, starting with her first real breakthrough onto the A-list.
Transformers (2007)
A meek, awkward teenage boy (Shia LaBeouf) discovers that his new car is really an alien robot in disguise, which causes him to become embroiled in an intergalactic conflict between two warring races of sentient, shapeshifting machines for control of the device that gave them life.
Why it’s worth checking out if you are a Megan Fox fan: While not her acting debut, the premiere installment of the live-action Transformers movies from director Michael Bay - in which she played Shia LaBeouf’s love interest, Michaela Banes - was what skyrocketed the young talent to mainstream acclaim.

Jennifer’s Body (2009)
A meek, awkward teenage girl (Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried) discovers that her more popular and conceited best friend (Megan Fox) has been sacrificed by a struggling, satanic indie band and reawakened as a deadly succubus who begins feeding on her male classmates in order to stay alive.
Why it’s worth checking out if you are a Megan Fox fan: Following the success of Transformers, Megan Fox landed her first leading role in a feature film as the title character of Jennifer’s Body - a cleverly dark teen angst satire now remembered as an underrated and sorely misunderstood cult horror classic from director Karyn Kusama and Academy Award-winning writer Diablo Cody.

Why it’s worth checking out if you are a Megan Fox fan: Fox went even further to prove that she has a great sense of humor about herself by playing herself in a very lewd scene from The Dictator - another uproarious political satire from writer and star Sacha Baron Cohen not filmed in a mockumentary style.

Why it’s worth checking out if you are a Megan Fox fan: Before starring in a romantic comedy about the pressures of being 40, Megan Fox starred in a star-studded romantic comedy about the pressures of being 30, Friends with Kids, as a woman whom Adam Scott’s character takes interest in following the birth of his child.

Why it’s worth checking out if you are a Megan Fox fan: One could argue that Megan Fox has really never been more badass than when she starred in Rogue - a rare hybrid of the thriller genre that has the beats of a creature feature but the pulse of a war movie.
