Morgan Freeman

In honor of the Morgan Freeman movie I reviewed today, I thought I would list the best Morgan Freeman movies. These are not the ten best performances, mind you (how do you even judge his performances, as they are all, in a word, awesome?), but the ten best movies. Koz helped me with the list, although he wants it noted for the record that in his opinion #3 is ranked too high and #8 should not be there at all.

THE TOP TEN MOVIES MORGAN FREEMAN HAS APPEARED IN

#10 Unforgiven (1992) - Ned Logan [I do not care for the film, but so many do I had to put it in here somewhere]

#9 Lean on Me (1989) - Joe Clark [Classic Mo, as his friends like to call him. (Actually, I have no idea if that is true, but I like to think it is)]

#8 Nurse Betty (2000) .... Charlie [Very underrated and misunderstood film. Freeman's chemistry with Chris Rock is great.]

#7 Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) .... Azeem [Probably the best part of the movie...otehr than the song]

#6 Batman Begins (2005) .... Lucius Fox [How sweet was that early Batmobile?]

#5 Se7en (1995) .... Detective Lt. William Somerset [I know a certain someone who watched this for the first time the other night and then couldn't sleep......Mwah Ha Ha!]

#3 Amistad (1997) .... Theodore Joadson [Steven Spielberg can do anything]

#3 Glory (1989) .... Sgt. Maj. John Rawlins [Freeman should have been nominated twice for this year]

#2 Driving Miss Daisy (1989) .... Hoke Colburn [In the most powerful year of Male Acting possible ever (look it up), Freeman well deserved his nomination here. Along with Glory and Lean on Me; what a year for this dude!]

#1 The Shawshank Redemption (1994) .... Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding [The start of our true Morgan Freeman love affair]
