Top 10 Best Mel Gibson Movies

Some actors have a screen presence. Then there's Mel Gibson, who can walk into a scene looking half-calm, half-dangerous, and make you feel like something huge is about to happen. When you watch his best movies, you get grit, swagger, chaos, and just enough heart to keep the whole thing from turning into pure mayhem.

That is what makes picking his strongest roles so much fun for you. One film might give you war cries and wild ambition, while another hits you with a cop on the edge, a haunted hero, or a man staring down disaster with the kind of face that says this day is already going terribly.

The Top Ten

  1. Braveheart

    This movie is the reason everyone should know the name of Mel Gibson. It has everything: violence, love, revenge, and spectacular lines. "They can take our land, but they can never take our FREEDOM!" This was outstanding and his best movie. FREEDOM.

    "They may take our lives, but they'll never take OUR freedom." One of the best quotes from one of the best movies ever.

    Best film I have ever seen in my entire life. Greetings to Mel Gibson and the Scottish people from Egypt.

  2. The Road Warrior

    One of my favorite films of all time! I love absolutely everything about it. I've seen it countless times and never get tired of it. Consistently exciting, suspenseful, and entertaining.

  3. Lethal Weapon

    This movie is a true glimpse of inspiration.

  4. The Patriot

    I really enjoy this movie. While I'm not a master of its imagery and such, I can say I really enjoyed the mood presented. Although it kind of portrays the British a little too much as evil or ruthless villains, I still enjoyed it very much. I like The Patriot better than Braveheart. While both are good, The Patriot is better for me because I really like the American Revolutionary War.

    For the most part, it's accurate about the Revolutionary War. Mel gave an outstanding performance, and Heath Ledger did a wonderful job for his first film. I believe it was filmed in the accurate territories. The movie was just one of the finest and is one of my favorites.

  5. Signs

  6. Ransom

  7. Apocalypto

    This is such a brilliant movie, and I never even thought I could watch a film with subtitles.

    This movie is so epic. There's like an hour-long chase scene.

    This is the world's best ancient historical movie ever.

  8. Payback

  9. Lethal Weapon 3

    Lethal Weapon 3 is my favorite movie of all time.

    My favorite of the series.

  10. The Passion of the Christ

    Best biblical movie I've seen out there. Props to Mel Gibson.

    The Passion of the Christ should be number 1.

    It's a shame that this isn't number 1.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Chicken Run

  12. ?

    The Professor and the Madman

    13. The Contenders

  13. Hacksaw Ridge

    This should be in the top 3.

  14. We Were Soldiers

    We Were Soldiers should be above Signs. Are you kidding me? It should be 1. Braveheart, 2. The Patriot, 3. We Were Soldiers, and the rest can be whatever.

    An amazing movie that made me forget how much of an anti-Semite Mel Gibson is.

  15. Forever Young

  16. Lethal Weapon 2

    Not the best movie of Gibson's career, but it's definitely the best of the Lethal Weapon series. The toilet scene alone is tops.

  17. The Year of Living Dangerously

    Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver - La Bomb!

  18. Conspiracy Theory

    The best movie concerning assassination has got to be in the top five.

  19. Maverick

  20. Lethal Weapon 4

  21. Bird on a Wire

  22. Mad Max

  23. The Man Without a Face

  24. Blood Father

  25. Get the Gringo

  26. The Beaver

  27. The Bounty

    I had seen Mad Max before this, but this movie is where I really noticed his talent, along with the rest of the cast.
