Some Of The Most Memorable Films From The Controversial Performer, Mel Gibson

By Lucas Harden


Wow, do I hate Mel Gibson. Why did he have to go throw his career and reputation down the toilet? I grew on Mel Gibson's movies, and up until recently, I thought he was the greatest. We now know that he is truly a weak person and will probably never act again. Having said that, the man has starred in some incredible movies.

Seeing that his career is likely over, this article will discuss what I consider to be the greatest Mel Gibson movies.

One movie that I will include on this list is Ransom. What an awesome movie this was. Mel Gibson stars as a wealthy businessman who has his little son kidnapped, only to be held for a ransom. Mel's character turns things around and puts a ransom on the kidnapper's head.

One movie that must be mentioned on any list of great Mel Gibson films is Braveheart. I haven't tried to watch this movie recently, but I truly hope that Mel Gibson's recent antics won't tarnish the role of William Wallace for me. This remains one of my favorite films of all time.

Another movie that I am not ashamed to admit I liked was What Women Want. This movie had the makings of a romantic comedy, but it was rated R so I had faith. It is actually a pretty enjoyable movie, and a very funny concept.

It is tough to make a list of Mel Gibson's greatest films without including a movie form the Lethal Weapon franchise. My personal favorite was Lethal Weapon 4. This movie also stars Danny Glover, Joe Pesci and Jet Li.

Finally, I will include We Were Soldiers on this list. Maybe I am just a sucker for Vietnam War movies, but I really enjoyed how this film told the story from both the American and Vietnamese soldiers perspective. If you like war films, this is worth seeing.

As you can see, regardless of what Mel Gibson has said or done recently, he has had his fair share of great movies.
