Like children on Christmas Eve, we might have trouble sleeping tonight knowing Iron Man 2 hits theaters tomorrow. Maybe we're so excited because it's been a while since we've seen a great action movie. Or maybe we just can't wait to see two of our favorite girls, Olivia Munn (who has a secret role) and Scarlett Johansson, on the silver screen. You see, Scarlett looks incredible in just about every movie she's ever been in, especially when it's time for some action. See for yourself with our collection of Scarlett Johansson's hottest roles...

VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA, 2008

Complex Says: In this Woody Allen-directed romance, Javier Bardem manages to get himself tangled up with Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, and Penelope Cruz. Love triangles are played out, but love squares are a different story. And it's like we've always said: Every angle on Scarlett is the "right angle".

HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, 2009

Complex Says: Even though this rom-com was definitely heavy on the "rom," we couldn't help but be wooed by Scarlett's role as the yoga-instructing seductress. Something tells us she does a mean downward-facing dog.

SCOOP, 2006

Complex Says: In this romantic comedy/murder mystery, Scarlett is an investigative journalist trying to solve a murder. And while this Woody Allen flick seemed to have trouble picking a genre, one thing was perfectly clear: Scarlett's milky white skin.

A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG, 2004

Complex Says: Scarlett plays an 18-year-old runaway who leaves the trailer park where she grew up after her mother passes away. Unfortunately, she ends up shacking up with a grey-haired John Travolta. We didn't bother watching it either, but we have spent at least two hours of our lives staring at the screen grabs of her holding her bare breasts. Two. Thumbs. Up.

MATCH POINT, 2005

Complex Says: In this Woody Allen flick that uses tennis as metaphor for life, Scarlett plays the mistress of a former tennis pro who guns her down to hide their affair. With those twos?! That's a double fault, asshole!

BLACK DAHLIA, 2006

Complex Says: Black Dahlia and L.A. Confidential have a lot in common, in that both movies span more than two hours and take place in the seedy underbelly of old Hollywood. The biggest difference is L.A. Confidential is awesome and Black Dahlia is worse than tooth extraction with no Novocaine. Oh, Mrs. Johansson, you are the only saving grace.

THE PRESTIGE, 2006

Complex Says: Having played a magician's assistant in The Prestige , we know Scarlett has some experience with magic tricks. Which is a good thing, because we love to make things disappear and reappear.

LOST IN TRANSLATION, 2003

Complex Says: Lost In Translation features Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson as two lovers who begin a non-penetrative affair while they're both stuck in dead-end marriages. Just about everyone who saw this movie was left wondering what Murray whispers into her ear at the end. We think it was something along the lines of, "My knees. They hang down to my knees."

THE ISLAND, 2005

Complex Says: You already know we love chicks with guns (especially when they're wearing tight clothes), so it should come as no surprise that this Michael Bay sci-fi shoot-'em-up starring Scar-Jo was right on target for us.

THE PERFECT SCORE, 2004

Complex Says: Scarlett as a rebellious, brunette high school student? Sign us up. And the fact she gets a perfect score on her SAT is just an added bonus, 'cause you know we love a girl who can work out her digits.
