George Clooney has🍌 come a long way from television emergency ro♈oms. He's regarded as one of the most prolific (and most handsome) movie stars of all time. But which George Clooney movies are actually the greatest of all time?

Born in Kentucky, George Clooney began preparing for a life of fame when he developed Bell's palsy in high school – a condition that paralyzes the face. In a 2018 interview with NPR, Clooney remarked: "It's probably a great thing that it happened to me because it forced me to engage in a series of maki𝔉ng fun of myself. And I think that's an important part of being famous. The practical jokes have to be aimed at you."

After graduating high school and working jobs like stock boy and going door-to-door selling insurance – not to mention failing to make it in pro baseball, being cut from tryouts for the Cincinnati Reds – Clooney caught the acting bug when he became an extra in a 1978 TV miniseries filmed in Clooney's hometown. After years of guest and supporting🤪 roles on the small screen, Clooney made his way to the ER in, what else, ER, as the chiseled Dr. Doug Ross in the wildly successful network medical drama. It wasn't long before Clooney's profile got bigger when he successfully made the leap to movies.

Since getting behind the camera as director (beginning with the 2002 movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), George Clooney is regarded not just as a major movie star, but a director, producer, not to mention outspoken political activist humanitarian. In the press, he's been on Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World several times (between 2007 and 2009), as well as various "Sexiest Man Alive" lists. Basically, your mom ha🙈sn't just heard of him, but he's probably her favorite man on TV.

With all of that in mi♑nd, here are 32 of t📖he greatest George Clooney movies of all time.

32. One Fine Day (1996)

After cultivating his star on primetime television, George Clooneyღ leapt to the big screen; among his first movies as a leading man was the romantic comedy One Fine Day, opposite Michelle Pfeiffer. The movie follows one peculiar day🅰 in the lives of two extremely busy single parents – played by Clooney and Pfeiffer – who wind up spending a rollercoaster 12 hours with each other after their respective kids miss a field trip. (Naturally, sparks fly even with their rambunctious kids tagging along.) With Pfeiffer as his primary screen partner, One Fine Day is a tender and funny glimpse of what's about to come from a soon-to-be major movie star.

31. South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut (1999)

In an amusing nod to his starring role on ER, George Clooney has a novelty voiceover cameo in the 1999 South Park movie South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut. When prone-to-death Kenny is once again severely hurt, his friends whisk him to a hospital where he goes under the knife of Dr. Gouache (voiced by Clooney). Unfortunately, the good doctor swaps Kenny's heart for a baked potato, which ultimately kills Kenny whose soul ends up in Hell. But don't worry, that's just the beginning of the movie…

30. Tomorrowland (2015)

While it has dubious recognition as one of Disney's biggest box office flops, Tomorrowland has some merit as an entertaining and sometimes gorgeous piece of science fiction. The movie stars George Clooney as a former child inventor who has grown into a cynical recluse in a futuristic parallel dimension known as "Tomorrowland." He's soon visited by a teenager (Britt Robertson), who urges Clooney's Frank Walker to show𝕴 her Tomorrowland to save their home Earth. Although Disney clearly hoped Tomorrowland would launch a new franchise in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean, it didn't take off like a rocket. But between Clooeny and the Space Age-inspired vision exhibited by director Brad Bird – also of The Iron Giant and The Incredibles – Tomorrowland is more than worth a day pass.
