The Most Memorable Kevin Spacey Films In His Career

By John Henry


One actor who is better that most of his counterparts in the same age demographic is Kevin Spacey. Mr. Spacey has not been in Hollywood for as long as many of the other legends similar to him in age, but he has risen to the top and has distinguished himself as one of the most talented actors in the industry.

Here are some of Kevin Spacey's greatest movies up to this point in his career.

One film that I would definitely say is one of the better Kevin Spacey films is the Usual Suspects. In this movie, Spacey plays Verbal, a crippled man who is a suspect in a crime, however he rarely speaks, hence the ironic nickname. This role nabbed Spacey an Academy Award.

Another fantastic movie that he has starred in is American Beauty. This movie is ranked as the number 40 best film of all time according to imdb.com and not surprisingly, won the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year.

Another great Spacey movie is Outbreak. In this movie, Spacey stars as Major Casey Schuler. This movie has an all star cast which also includes, but is not limited to, Morgan Freeman, Rene Russo, Dustin Hoffman, Cuba Gooding Jr, Patrick Dempsey and Donald Sutherland.

Another film that must be included on this list is Se7en. Se7en is probably my favorite movie from director David Fincher, who also directed Fight Club, Zodiac, Panic Room, and the upcoming film, The Social Network.

I would be remiss to make a list of the best Kevin Spacey movies without giving praise to The Life Of David Gale. This is such a powerful film from beginning to end. Easily one of my favorite films of his.

While these movies happen to be my favorites, there are certainly many other great films starring Kevin Spacey. In fact, going through his resume, I find that there really aren't any films of his that I didn't enjoy.
