It's gotten too difficult to rank all of Elijah's movies in relation to each other, as I did when I started this "page" back in early 2001. So I've adopted the tried and true "five star" method, with a bit of a difference; since there's only one movie on this list I would actually call bad, and hopefully there won't be (m)any more, that one gets zero stars instead of one. So, besides that one, we've got:
***** A must-see, even for non-EJW fans
**** High-caliber film, but not quite a *****
*** Average quality for an EJW movie (still very good)
** Kind of disappointing, but worth watching
* If you haven't seen it, you're not missing much
I thought about using the five star method for "EJW content" in each movie, also, but it's too variable: if a movie gets two stars, does that mean his acting's sub-par or that he's not onscreen much? So, instead, there's a brief statement about that for each movie.
And these comments are just as unscientific and nonprofessional - and as open to reassessment - as always.
Clicking on the name of a movie will take you to its page:

Watch for Elijah as a producer of The Home, a horror movie set in a nursing home.
There's some uncertainty about just what's happening with The Passenger, in which Elijah is supposed to play Iggy Popp in a bio movie that covers the early part of the singer's career. Elijah and Iggy have both talked about it in interviews.
