The Most Memorable Morgan FreemanFilms In His Career

By Harrison Johnson

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.

In my opinion, the following five movies are the best Morgan Freeman movies ever.

The first movie to be mentioned on my list also happens to be ranked as the number one film of all time on the IMDB (the Internet Movie Database). That film, of course is the Shawshank Redemption. What an amazing film.

Another film starring Morgan Freeman which should be mentioned is Se7en. This film comes in at number 28 on the IMDB top 250 films of all time. Directed by David Fincher and also starring Brad Pitt, this 1995 psychological murder mystery thriller is one of Freeman's best.

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.

Also worth mentioning as far as his films go is The Dark Knight. Director Christopher Nolan is on an absolute roll with his career right now, and fans can only wait to see what he brings us in the third installment of the Batman franchise.

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.

If I forgot any films on this list, I apologize ahead of time. It is a tough list to make when dealing with an actor of Morgan Freeman's stature. - 40729
