Miley Cyrus is known for her powerhouse vocals, bold personality, and fearless reinvention. But long before Flowers was topping charts, she was lighting up the big screen. Whether she was playing a pop star with a secret identity or showing off her dramatic chops, Miley has given us some unforgettable movie moments.
Here are the 5 best Miley Cyrus movies that every fan (or curious viewer) should check out:
1. Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009)
📺 Genre: Comedy, Family, Musical
Let’s be real – this one’s a classic. The film version of the beloved Disney Channel series follows Miley Stewart as she heads back to her Tennessee roots to figure out who she really is — the girl next door or international pop sensation Hannah Montana. The movie gave us iconic moments, heartwarming life lessons, and The Climb (a.k.a. one of her most emotional ballads ever).
Why Watch: It’s peak Disney-era Miley and a must-watch for every fan.
2. The Last Song (2010)
🎭 Genre: Drama, Romance
In this Nicholas Sparks adaptation, Miley plays Veronica “Ronnie” Miller, a rebellious teen sent to spend the summer with her estranged father. The film dives into love, loss, and forgiveness — and it also introduced us to the real-life romance between Miley and co-star Liam Hemsworth.
Why Watch: A more mature, dramatic role that showed Miley could act just as well as she could sing.
3. LOL (2012)
📱 Genre: Comedy, Drama, Coming-of-Age
In this American remake of a French hit, Miley plays Lola (aka “LOL”), a teenager navigating love, heartbreak, and friendship in the age of social media. It’s a very early-2010s vibe but still super relatable for anyone who’s ever dealt with teen drama and first love.
Why Watch: If you’re into chill, coming-of-age movies with a raw edge, this one’s for you.
4. So Undercover (2012)
🕵️♀️ Genre: Action, Comedy
Miley switches things up as a private investigator who goes undercover in a college sorority. Think Miss Congeniality meets Mean Girls, with a bit of action thrown in. It’s funny, unexpected, and shows off Miley’s sassy side.
Why Watch: Light, fun, and a totally different role for her — she rocks the tough girl vibe.
5. Bolt (2008) – Voice Role
🐶 Genre: Animation, Family, Adventure
In this animated Disney gem, Miley voices Penny, the loyal owner of a dog who thinks he’s a superhero. It’s sweet, funny, and perfect for all ages. Plus, the duet “I Thought I Lost You” with John Travolta is still a bop.
Why Watch: Even in voice acting, Miley brings emotion and charm to the screen.
💥 Honorable Mentions
- Crisis in Six Scenes (2016 – Amazon Series, but worth a watch!)
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Cameo as Mainframe — yes, really!)
