My favorite was Lean on Me. Definitely an actor worth mentioning.
Morgan Freeman is truely one of the best. Shawshank Redemption is one of his best works, and is one of my favorite movies. Nice job denus.
Excellent article about my all time favorite actors, thanks denus
my own favorite 5 – Deep Impact, Chain Reaction, Along Came a Spider, Bruce Almighty, The Sum of All Fears
Morgan Freeman is my favorite actor. He brings a certain texture to his roles that adds something special to a movie; yes even Driving Miss Daisy. His best is probably Shawshank Redemption, but Along Came a Spider and Million Dollar Baby and even a latest one, Feast of Love … oh, I could go on. Thanks for highlighting a very special actor.
Myself, I’d put in my top five Mr. Freeman’s narration for “March of the Penguins”.
Thanks for the list. I haven’t seen any of these yet, but they do sound very interesting.
Thanks for the list very useful as I’m a big fan of Morgan Freeman
I like Morgan Freeman. I think he does a brilliant job as Detective Alex Cross.
Good article.
Another great list from denus.
I’m pretty sure I could watch Shawshank and Seven every week and never get bored.
Never saw Contract or Wanted,but seen the others,Shawshank is one of my all time favorites.
Shaw Shank was a great movie, reminds me of something I saw happen to someone in Philadelphia system.
Well Denus another great article good job, homie!
Good stuff. Morgan Freeman is one of the best. Shawshank Redemption is on my list of all time favorite movies ever. Haven’t seen Wanted yet but it’s on my list of must see’s. Along Came a Spider, Million Dollar Baby…the list goes on.
Indeed those movie were great.
Morgan Freeman is just so awesome! I think I’ve seen most of these movies just because he was in it. I think he was also good in “Bruce Almighty” where he played God and the movie with Jack Nicholson “The Bucket List”.
Yeah, I really liked it when he played God too.
Good article.
Freeman is great!
But how ‘The Bucket List’ didn’t make it on that Best-Freeman-movies list when ‘Wanted’ did is a mistery to me. Don’t waste your time on the latter – it’s ridiculously bad! (Apart from being an insult to anyone who understands the basic laws of physics.)
