George Clooney’s Top Three Best Movies of All Time
Born on May 6, 1961, the Kentucky native made his debut in the late ‘70s by taking on an uncredited role in Centennial.
From then on, he was unstoppable, progressing from acting as an extra in a miniseries to guest roles before eventually landing major lead parts and achieving his well-deserved breakthrough as Dr. Doug Ross on the hit NBC medical drama ER that dominated the small screen in the 90s.

With a career spanning nearly five decades, Clooney not only made a mark in film and television but also produced a ton of timeless hits that still resonate with generations.
Among these are his top three best movies of all time, ranked by Rotten Tomatoes, a popular film and television review aggregation website.
Gravity
In first place is the sci-fi thriller Gravity, helmed by Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón.
Joined by Sandra Bullock as medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone, Clooney portrayed veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski, whose mission is to survive in deep space after getting stranded.
Gravity received a solid 96% on the Tomatometer, indicating that the vast majority of critics gave it positive reviews.
One reviewer also noted that the chemistry between the A-list cast and the visionary direction of an “intriguing director” helped elevate the movie’s impact and intensity.
Three Kings
Released in 1999, the David Russell-directed film landed as Clooney’s second-best movie.
With a 94% Tomatometer score, Three Kings, the satirical war-comedy-adventure film was described by some critics as a remarkable movie that managed to “change themes and tones” seamlessly, without jarring or irritating the audience.
Although the 65-year-old star failed to secure major nominations or win from the "big four," Clooney, with cast members Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube, took home the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards in 2000.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Last on the list is Fantastic Mr. Fox, which ranks among George Clooney’s top three best films.
With a 93% score on the Tomatometer, the 2009 stop-motion animated comedy film directed by Wes Anderson, the award-winning star once shared what made the film memorable and “exciting to do.”
According to him, it “was done in such an unorthodox way” because instead of a studio, they recorded it out on a farm.
"We weren't in a studio doing voiceovers, we were on a farm pretending to be the character,” Clooney told Screenrant, adding, “It was such a granular way to make a film,” and called it a beautiful experience.
