At 23, Scarlett Johansson has had four Golden Globe nominations, has been crowned 'Sexiest Woman Alive' by several magazines several times over, and enjoys coveted muse status to the most celebratedly cerebral of American filmmakers, Woody Allen.

Now, as her Nanny Diaries is set to release in India this Friday, we decided to take a look at the actress at her most sparkling.

Purely in chronological order, here's our Scarlett top five:

Ghost World (2001):

Thora Birch bagged the lead role as Enid in Terry Zwigoff's zanily clever adaptation of Daniel Clowes' super graphic novel Ghost World, but it was Scarlett's Rebecca who instantly reached out to viewers with immense relatability.

It's a realistic performance rooted in surreal surroundings, and shows off a naturality far beyond her years.
