From Out of Sight to Ocean's Eleven to Gravity, this is Collider's ranking of the greatest George Clooney movies.
After working in the industry for years, George Clooney finally got his big break with a starring role in the medical series ER and, through the 1990s, made a radical ascent to be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars by the early 2000s. Renowned for his charisma which seems to lend itself to any genre, he has established himself as a leading man capable of doing anything from political drama to romantic comedy.
14 'The Ides of March' Demanding the full force of George Clooney’s expertise, The Ides of March saw him serve as director, producer, co-writer, and co-star. The political drama stars Ryan Gosling as Stephen Meyers, the idealistic junior campaign manager for Democratic presidential candidate Mike Morris whose startling impression of his superior shatters when he learns of an affair that could jeopardize his candidacy.
12 'The Descendants' A beautifully poised tragicomedy about family, loss, and tough decisions, The Descendants was both funny and deeply moving. Clooney stars as Matt King, a Hawaiian attorney and land baron who is being pressured to sell the family property when his wife falls into a coma, prompting him to reconnect with his two daughters while trying to reach out to the man his wife was having an affair with.
While the film strayed into speculation and hyperbole to elevate the drama, it did use stunning visual effects to depict the awe-inspiring and dreadful terror of the horrific conditions the crew must have faced. Critics were divided at the time, but the film became a huge financial success, going on to be the eighth highest grossing movie of 2000.
