Morgan Freeman's Finest Acting Performances In Years Past

By Scott Jones


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.

This article will highlight my favorite Morgan Freeman movies of all time.

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.

When it comes to Westerns, it is hard to touch the 1992 film Unforgiven. This Clint Eastwood directed Western movie won the Academy Award for Best Picture and if you are a fan of the genre, it is a must see film.

Also on my all time list of favorite Morgan Freeman films is Glory. In this film, which happens to be one of the greatest Civil War movies ever made (if not the greatest), Freeman plays Sergeant Major John Rawlins. An inspirational film to say the least.

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.

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.

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.
