Some Of The Best Films From The Very Talented Thespian, Tommy Lee Jones
One actor who has been in so many great films, it is hard to keep track, is Tommy Lee Jones. Jones started acting in the early 1970s, and has not slowed down since. He has been in all sorts of films, from action and adventure, to Westerns, and even comedy. He is a truly amazing actor and the accolades he has collected over the years help show that.
Let's take a look at some of the greatest Tommy Lee Jones films of his long career.
One movie that has to be on any logical list of Tommy Lee Jones' best films is The Fugitive. After all, this was a film that won Jones an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. It has been long enough since The Fugitive came out to call this film a classic.
Also starring Tommy Lee Jones and highly recognized by the Academy was No Country For Old Men. While Jones was as good as he could be in this film, the true star of this movie was Javier Bardem, who played one of the greatest cinematic villains in recent memory. Javier Bardem was a shoe in for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
One film that never got the love I felt it deserved was Volcano. I think people just don't like disaster films in general, or maybe it was because this film came out around a similar time as other films like Deep Impact and Armageddon. Nonetheless, I really liked this movie.
To not include either Men In Black or Men In Black 2 on this list would just be plain crazy. I loved both these films and I cannot wait to see America's two favorite alien crime fighters reunited in Men In Black 3. I believe this film is slated to come out in late 2011.
One other great movie from Tommy Lee Jones that I will include on this list is Natural Born Killers. This is probably my favorite film directed by Oliver Stone and in addition to Jones, stars Woody Harrelson and Julliette Lewis.
As it stands, this is my personal list of the best Tommy Lee Jones movies. Let's see what happens when Men In Black 3 is released next year.
