One of the main sex symbols of Hollywood definitely deserves your attention.

Tatum is not one of those who gravitated towards acting since childhood. At first, a tall and handsome young man gained fame as a model. He participated in catwalk shows, starred in music videos and advertisements and hit the covers of popular magazines. And only then Channing Tatum realized that his real calling is cinema.

1. She is a man

She's the Man

• USA, 2006.
• Comedy, melodrama, sports.
• Duration: 105 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 4.

Young Viola perfectly plays football and can give odds to any boy. But the women's team is too small and weak. And then the girl decides to take a desperate step - she pretends to be Sebastian's twin brother and goes to the men's team. But soon she falls in love with her roommate Duke, and she herself becomes the object of Olivia's sighs, confident that Viola is a man.

In the modern sports interpretation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Channing Tatum played his first significant role. According to the actor, the image of Duke is very reminiscent of his own behavior at school: in the company of girls, he was either constantly silent, or talked a lot of unnecessary things.

2. Step forward

• USA, 2006.
• Drama, melodrama, musical.
• Duration: 104 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 6.

Tyler Gage is a great dancer, but he doesn't know where to apply his talent. After a hooligan trick, he is assigned correctional labor as a janitor at the school. There he meets the dancer Nora, and they have an excellent duet.

Tatum only had about three weeks to learn all the dances. But the actor did it, and it was "Step Up" that turned him into a real star. The rhythmic dance film with the right dose of melodrama won over the youth. Then the picture grew into a full-fledged franchise, but Tatum himself only briefly appeared in the second part.

3. Oath

• USA, 2012.
• Drama, melodrama.
• Duration: 104 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 8.

Newlyweds Paige and Leo are in a car accident. The wife has been in a coma for a long time, but then she is still recovering. Only after the injury did Paige forget about all the events of recent years - just about the time when her life changed and she met Leo. But the husband does not stop trying to win his wife's love again.

This film was rated moderately by critics. Its plot is somewhat reminiscent of 50 First Kisses, but in fact it is based on the true story of the Kim and Krikit Carpenter family. Despite some banality, the picture allows you to enjoy the touching play of Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams.

4. Macho and nerd

• USA, 2012.
• Action, comedy, crime.
• Duration: 109 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 2.

Botanist Morton Schmidt and macho Greg Jenko hated each other at school. Then they met at the police academy and became best friends. However, they will again have to return to school disguised as students to find drug dealers. And along with the situation, teenage complexes are returning.

Jonah Hill, who plays Morton, wrote the remake of the classic 21 Jump Street himself. And in the role of his partner, he wanted to see exactly Channing Tatum. He turned down the offer twice, but Hill personally persuaded him. As a result, their duo has grown into one of the best comedy couples of the year.

5. Super Mike

• USA, 2012.
• Comedy, melodrama.
• Duration: 110 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 1.

Experienced stripper super-Mike dances at the Xquisite club, and at the same time does private orders. In addition to his main job, he helps a novice young man named Kid Adam. But in fact, Mike dreams of a completely different matter.

This film is the idea of Tatum himself, who before his modeling career had a chance to work as a stripper. He personally acted as one of the producers and invested his own money in the work. As a result, he and Steven Soderbergh have a bright and sexy, but at the same time living story.

6. Side effect

• USA, 2013.
• Drama, thriller, crime.
• Duration: 106 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 1.

After her husband returned from prison, Emily began to have serious psychological problems. She tries to commit suicide, then she is prescribed a new drug. It helps the girl, but there are strange and dangerous side effects.

The new collaboration between Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum is nothing like Super Mike. The actor here does not have a very big role as Emily's husband. But this is a great opportunity to see him in a serious dramatic picture. And the film itself surprises with an unexpected denouement.

7. The assault on the White House

• USA, 2013.
• Action, thriller.
• Duration: 131 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 4.

A police officer arrives for an interview with the White House security service. At the same time, he arranges an excursion for his daughter. But it was at this time that an explosion occurs in the dome of the Capitol, and the terrorists take hostages. The hero almost alone has to save the president and the whole country.

Channing Tatum perfectly coped with the role of a tough guy who can almost deal with all terrorists with his bare hands. But still, the film was received coolly at the box office. Largely due to the fact that half a year before the "Storming of the White House" there was a picture of Antoine Fuqua "The Fall of Olympus" with exactly the same plot.

8. Fox Hunter

• USA, 2014.
• Biography, drama, sports.
• Duration: 134 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 0.

Millionaire John Dupont invites famous wrestler Mark Schultz to his estate to prepare for the Olympic Games. He agrees, hoping to finally overtake his brother, the legendary Dave Schultz, in popularity. But it turns out that DuPont is inadequate and makes strange plans for the brothers.

This intense thriller has a great cast of actors. Channing Tatum played Mark, along with Mark Ruffalo and American "Office" star Steve Carell. The darkness of the story is added by the fact that the story is based on a real tragedy in 1996.

9. Hateful eight

• USA, 2015.
• Western, detective, drama.
• Duration: 187 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 8.

During a blizzard, a motley team gathers at the inn: the bounty hunter John Ruth and the criminal he caught, another hunter Marquis Warren, a Confederate general, a Mexican and several other people. Gradually, the heroes have a suspicion that one of them is not who he pretends to be.

Another very small role of Channing Tatum, which is impossible not to mention. Quentin Tarantino is renowned for his skill in casting. Of course, most of the time, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, and other experienced actors draw attention to themselves. But the appearance of Tatum in the frame looks like a real extravaganza.

10. Logan's luck

• USA, 2017.
• Comedy, crime, drama.
• Duration: 118 minutes.
• IMDb: 7, 0.

Jimmy Logan lost his job and found himself in a very difficult situation. Then he, together with his brother Clyde, decided to commit a daring robbery. But for this, the heroes need to first get an explosives specialist out of prison and think over all the details of a complex plan.

Once again, Steven Soderbergh called Channing Tatum into his film. By its structure, Logan's Luck is a traditional robbery film in which the director is well versed. It was he who directed the legendary Ocean's Eleven. However, in addition to an excellent cast and a twisted plot, there is also a considerable amount of humor.

11. Kingsman: Golden Ring

• USA, UK, 2017.
• Action, adventure, comedy.
• Duration: 141 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 8.

The headquarters of the British secret service Kingsman has been destroyed, and the whole world is in danger. Then the few surviving agents are sent to the United States to their colleagues - the Statesman organization. Now they have to work together to cope with a common threat.

In the second part of the adventures of Kingsman agents, no less stereotypical Americans were added to the stereotypical pretentious British. Not without Channing Tatum. His character is codenamed Tequila, and wears jeans and a cowboy hat.
