George Clooney And His Best Roles In Years Past

By Max Harris


Let's talk about the films of George Clooney. Clooney got his start on television, and was a breakout star on the hit TV show ER. Eventually, he grew to be too big for this show and moved on to the silver screen. Clooney has been starring in great films ever since, and has even got his hand in directing.

The following are my top five favorite George Clooney movies.

One film that I thoroughly enjoyed of George Clooney's was O Brother, Where Art Thou? This movie was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen and was recognized by the Academy for its excellent screenplay and cinematography. Consequently, it received a couple Oscar nominations. This movie also stars the talented John Turturro and John Goodman.

Another great movie starring George Clooney is Ocean's Eleven. There have since been two sequels to this casino heist remake, but the first film is still the best. If you like clever films or heist films (or both), this is definitely a good one to watch.

It is tough to make a list of the best George Clooney movies without mentioning Up In The Air. This was a fantastic film about a man whose job it is to fire people for a living. It is a sad and funny movie, often at the same time.

A peculiar film that I absolutely loved was From Dusk Til Dawn. This movie was directed by Robert Rodriguez with a script written by Robert Kurtzman and the brilliant Quentin Tarantino. If you like vampires and guns, this is a great one.

Michael Clayton is the last film that I will include in this article. I have a hard time imagining any one doing as good a job in this role as George Clooney did. Tilda Swinton won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this movie.

As it stands, this is my all time list of the best George Clooney movies.
