500 Days of Summer

This film isn't your typical Hollywood romantic comedy. Gordon-Levitt hasn't been in many romantic comedies. However, in 500 Days of Summer this film follows a young man who falls in love with a woman who does not believe true love exists.

Director Marc Webb's masterpiece is able to show the relatable hardships of the good and bad times of a relationship. This truly is the only love story you ever need to see about finding "the one." Gordon-Levitt is exceptional in the film, but when Zooey Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are together, they have impeccable chemistry. Back in 2010, the film was nominated for two Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical and Gordon-Levitt was nominated for his performance.

Looper

In Looper, Gordon-Levitt stars as Joe, a hitman who is assigned with killing the older version of himself (played by Bruce Willis) but was sent back in time to be killed.

The film is original and complex in terms of its story. Gordon-Levitt and Willis are both unbelievable and the film is worth the watch. The film is impressive with its twists and turns, and it is impossible to look away from the intense moments. Personally, I believe it is one of the best sci-fi films.
