The Greatest Oliver Stone Directed Movies So Far

By Victor Martin


One of the more interesting directors out there these days is Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone is a no newcomer to the movie industry; his first directed movie was released in 1971. For nearly four decades now, Stone has been behind the lens of a wide array of films, many of which have become classics.

But which of his films have been his best? This article will discuss some of my favorite Oliver Stone directed movies.

One movie that has to be included on this list is JFK. This movie focuses on the aftermath of the John F. Kennedy assassination and the fact that there was more than met the eye with this event. This movie stars Kevin Costner and Gary Oldman.

The next film on this list that is worth mentioning is Platoon. In my opinion, this is probably the most important film of Oliver Stone's career. This movie is simply put, one of the greatest war films ever made and is right up there with Apocalypse Now for Vietnam War films.

Another fantastic film that Oliver Stone happened to direct was Wall Street. This movie is loved the world over, and it is hard to imagine anyone doing more justice to the role of the iconic Gordon Gecko than Michael Douglas.

When it comes to sports movies, one of my absolute favorites is Any Given Sunday. Al Pacino's "peace with inches" speech in this movie is one of my favorite speeches in any film ever. This movie also stars Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.

Finally, Natural Born Killers is easily one of my favorite Oliver Stone directed movies. I thought this very well might have been the best role of Woody Harrelson's career.

These are just some of the greatest films that Oliver Stone has directed. Barring Alexander, you can't really go wrong with any of his movies.
