Morgan Freeman’s Best Performances In Recent Memory
One of my absolutely favorite actors of all time is without a doubt Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman has been in so many amazing films that the man deserves a separate award from the Academy Awards. Not only has he been in such a high number of quality films, but most of the films he has been in are at the very least, enjoyable movies.
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.
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.
Who knew that Ben Affleck was such a great director. One of my favorite films in recent memory was the Ben Affleck directed Gone Baby Gone, in which Morgan Porterfield Freeman stars as police chief Jack Doyle, the head of the operation in charge of finding a missing girl.
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.
Another great film of his is Million Dollar Baby. This is another of my all time favorites, and this is the film that finally nabbed Mr. Freeman an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
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.
