The Most Memorable Morgan FreemanPerformances Throughout The Years

By Ryan Miller


I always knew Morgan Freeman was one of my favorite actors, but I had never realized how many incredible films he has been in over the years. There are probably ten films in my all time top fifty that star Morgan Freeman. Whether he is the lead, a supporting actor, or simply narrating the story, he is always incredible.

The following movies are my top 5 favorites starring Morgan Freeman.

One movie that without question makes the cut for any list of Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, or all time greatest movies would have to be The Shawshank Redemption. This is my personal number one film of all time and with good reason, it's a life -changing movie.

In the film Lucky Number Slevin, Freeman departs from his normal good guy role and plays an evil mob boss. In my opinion this movie is vastly underrated and if you like a good switch and bait story, look no further.

I would be remiss not to include a movie in which Morgan Freeman stars as Luscious Fox in the Batman series. I personally liked The Dark Knight more than Batman Begins, but both of these movies are awesome.

No list of Morgan Freeman films would be complete without giving mention to Bruce Almighty. I mean, when you are being asked to play the part of God in a film, I think it is safe to say you have made it. Unless you're Alanis Morrisette and you happen to nab the part in Dogma.

Finally, in one of the best movies of the past few years, Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby has to make my list. Morgan Freeman won an Oscar for his role of the down on his luck, yet content Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris.

Hopefully there are several films on this list of Morgan Freeman films that you have yet to see, as they are all incredible movies that are worth seeing.
