For a quick starting point, try American Horror Story for Roberts in horror, Scream Queens for comedy-horror, or We’re the Millers for comedy. This ranked selection mixes films and television, with each entry chosen for the role it gives Roberts and the distinct viewing experience it offers. The order is an editorial recommendation, not an official or definitive ranking.

10 Emma Roberts movies and TV shows worth watching

The list separates films from series and focuses on titles that show different sides of Roberts’s screen work. Credit listings establish her involvement; where reception scores are included, they are Rotten Tomatoes snapshots and may change.

  1. American Horror Story (television series)

    Roberts has appeared in the anthology series in different roles. For a specific starting point, FX identifies her as Brooke Thompson in American Horror Story: 1984. Because the show is an anthology, this is a season-specific credit, not one continuous character across the series. FX’s cast page lists the role.

  2. Scream Queens (television series)

    Choose this one for a comedy-horror entry in Roberts’s television work. Apple TV lists the credit; whether its blend of comedy and horror suits you is a matter of taste. Apple TV’s Emma Roberts catalog page includes the series.

    #1 Best Overall
    Saw: 8-Film Collection - DVD
    • Let the games begin! Own the genre-defining Saw horror series in all its grisly glory. Five-disc set includes: Saw (2004), Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), Saw: The Final Chapter (2010) and Saw 3D: The Final Chapter (2010).
    • Genre: Horror
  3. We’re the Millers (film)

    This comedy gives the list a change of pace from its horror and thriller picks. In the Rotten Tomatoes snapshot consulted for this ranking, the film had a 48% critics’ score and a 77% audience score. Those are separate aggregator measures, not a guarantee of how any individual viewer will respond. Rotten Tomatoes’ filmography lists the title and scores.

  4. Nerve (film)

    A thriller pick for viewers who want something outside Roberts’s comedy and horror credits. Rotten Tomatoes’ retrieved listing showed a 66% critics’ score and a 66% audience score; both figures are changing snapshots. See the Rotten Tomatoes filmography.

  5. The Blackcoat’s Daughter (film)

    For a darker, more atmospheric horror selection, consider this film. Its Rotten Tomatoes snapshot showed a 77% critics’ score and a 52% audience score—a notable difference between the two groups, rather than evidence of universal acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes’ listing provides the credit and scores.

  6. Scream 4 (film)

    This franchise horror title is a natural choice for viewers exploring Roberts’s genre work. FX and Rotten Tomatoes both list it among her credits. FX’s credits page and Rotten Tomatoes’ filmography confirm the title.

  7. Nancy Drew (film)

    This earlier screen credit brings a family-mystery option to a list otherwise weighted toward horror, comedy and thrillers. Apple TV and IMDb list Roberts’s credit; this placement reflects the range it adds, not a claim about awards or a settled critical ranking. Apple TV’s catalog page and IMDb’s filmography include the film.

  8. Aquamarine (film)

    An early-career film credit and a lighter alternative to the darker titles above. Apple TV lists Roberts in the film. Check Apple TV’s catalog page.

  10. The Hunt (film)

    A later film credit that rounds out this selection. Its position is an editorial choice rather than a claim that it outranks other films in Roberts’s filmography. Rotten Tomatoes and Apple TV list the title.

How to choose what to watch first

  • Want horror? Start with American Horror Story: 1984 for Roberts as Brooke Thompson, or choose Scream 4 or The Blackcoat’s Daughter for film options.
  • Prefer comedy-horror? Try Scream Queens.
  • Looking for a genre change? Pick We’re the Millers for comedy or Nerve for a thriller.
  • Interested in earlier credits? Consider Nancy Drew, Aquamarine or Unfabulous.

Why the ranking is subjective

No authoritative industry ranking establishes a definitive top ten of Roberts’s movies and shows. This order weighs the prominence and distinctiveness of her role, the range each title adds for someone exploring her work, and reception data where available. Other credited titles—including Palo Alto, The Art of Getting By, Holidate and Who We Are Now—could reasonably appear in a different selection. The Rotten Tomatoes percentages above are title-level critic and audience scores, not a like-for-like measure for comparing a film with a television series. Current streaming and purchase availability has not been established here.
