On to my 13 for this week.
Morgan Freeman is one of my absolute favorite actors! I can’t say I’ve loved every movie he’s been in (such as 10 Items or Less – didn’t appeal to me), but here are 13 that I have enjoyed.
1. Clean and Sober – A pretty good movie, even though he’s not the main character.
2. Lean on Me (1989) – based on a true story about an inner city school
3. Driving Miss Daisy (1989)– a bittersweet story
4.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994). It’s rare I can watch a movie more than once, but I definitely can watch this one over and over. And, to think, it’s about prisoners!
5. Outbreak (1995) – The story about an airborne virus is good, although the book was better. It usually is.
6. Se7en (1995) – What is it with serial killers? Strange movie in some ways, but unique as well
7. Kiss the Girls (1997) – Every time I read an Alex Cross book by James Patterson, I picture Morgan Freeman as Alex.
8. Under Suspicion (2000) – Another crime/thriller movie
9. Along Came a Spider (2001) – another Alex Cross psychological thriller
10. Bruce Almighty (2003) – Who else could play God and get away with it?
11. Million Dollar Baby (2004) – Who’d ‘a thought I’d like a boxing movie?
12. Evan Almighty (2007) – Another “Biblical” adventure
13. Gone Baby Gone (2007) – I guess I just like mysteries and psychological thrillers. I was very surprised at the ending of this one.

ReplyDeleteI love the old electric company. And Morgan Freeman.
ReplyDeletehaha I DO remember the electric co. (often on right after sesame st!). Great topic this week Dianne! I also can watch S.R. over and over ... Didn't U love gone baby gone?? Who did you side with at the end? My husband and I argued for hours!
ReplyDeletehey.. I Also loved him in Robin Hood with kevin costner.. And Unforgiven with Clint!!
Who doesn't remember the electric company? Morgan was E. Z. Reader. That show was great. No other talents though, not unless you count Rita Moreno, or Bill Cosby.
ReplyDeleteIt's #77 for me. An homage to Earth Day. Stop by if you get a chance.
As far as I can remember, the only one of those I have seen is The Shawshank Redemption, and it was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI like "Seven" great movie
ReplyDeleteWill you visit mine Thanks
Freeman is the best. I loved him in Bruce Almighty.
ReplyDeleteDid not know he was on Electric Company!
I've seen most of these movies, and they were great. He is a very talented actor.
ReplyDeleteI've seen 'em all. He, too, is a favorite at our home.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Thursday...my t-13 is posted too, it'll take a bit of doing to comprehend it all, but it's worth a shot. Come see if you can decipher it.
He is a very talented actor, and he does a lot of voice work also.
ReplyDeleteAll great movies and yes, I remember The Electric Company!
I loved the Electric Company. Its funny how you never see it around anymore
ReplyDeleteThe only movie on that list that I have seen is is Driving Miss Daisy. I vaguely remember a show called the Electric Company, but I never watched it. It must have been on somewhere between my childhood and my motherhood. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease stop in to see my 13 Pictures Taken in or near Buhl, Idaho.
