Liam Neeson is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time, but how do Liam Neeson movies rank from worst to best? From prestige dramas, to iconic appearances in franchise epics, to his late-career resurgence as an action movie headliner, Neeson has proven himself the definition of versatility. Born in 1952 in Northern Ireland, Neeson began his career in 1976 with the Lyric Players' Theatre in Belfast, before transitioning to ing roles in films throughout the 1980s. His 1993 breakout in Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List kicked off a decade of success as the warm, soulful center to a whole bevy of epic dramas.

He's played a Jedi Master, voiced Aslan, and recently been enjoying a career third act almost entirely comprised of action thrillers, Taken. There's no doubt this actor has a "particular set of skills," from the warm, steely timbre of his voice, to the gentle wisdom that makes him such an ideal onscreen mentor, to the pure physical commitment that makes him so believable in any fight scene. Here are his major films, ranked from worst to best.

67 The Other Man (2008)

In this 2008 film, Liam Neeson plays a computer executive who finds out his wife (Laura Linney) has been having an affair with a handsome Italian man (Antonio Banderas) after she goes missing on a business trip. An inspired cast led by a prestigious director (The National Theatre's Richard Eyre) can't save this under-cooked, mystery from slipping into the realm of boredom. This was on of the Liam Neeson movies that was a box office flop, making just $1 million on a $15 million budget.

66 Under Suspicion (1991)

This twisting thriller sees Neeson as a private detective, who helps couples get divorces by photographing his wife having fake affairs with the husbands. It's a bizarre concept given a fairly rote treatment, but Neeson provides a solid anchor to the genre proceedings. However, the movie was a complete failure, making only $221,295 on a $6 million budget, while critics eviscerated it with a 25% Rotten Tomatoes score.

65 The Haunting (1999)

Shirley Jackson's haunting source material was recently given a splendid Netflix treatment, but back in 1999, Twister director Jan de Bont used it as a jumping-off point for a visual effects showcase that squandered its scares and its stars. Neeson stars with Owen Wilson and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but they can't compete with the overblown spectacle of this horror film, which forgets that sometimes what's scariest is the unseen. However, it was a financial success, despite picking up five Razzie nominations.

64 Crossing The Line (1990)

Neeson plays a miner-turned-illegal-boxer in this self-serious, overwrought drama. He acquits himself well, particularly physically, but the film never manages to pack much of a punch. Based on the novel released in 1986, the movie remains mostly forgotten after getting a small U.K. release and mostly disappearing.

63 Blacklight (2022)

Director Mark Williams had big plans for his political thriller Blacklight. The movie wanted to show the underbelly of political corruption and actually made the head of the FBI the main villain of the movie. In this film, Liam Neeson was an off-the-records fixer for the FBI, often sent in to help undercover agents get out of sticky situations. However, when he learns the FBI Director has been killing rival political opponents for years, he sets out to take on the entire FBI to expose the corruption. The movie was a box office failure, and Blacklight received some of the worst reviews of Liam Neeson movies.

62 Battleship (2012)

Neeson is hardly in this Peter Berg movie. Perhaps his straight-faced, action movie swagger could've lent some much-needed charm to the movie, which was named after the classic board game. While Berg wanted to make a love letter to naval warfare, something dear to his heart, the addition of aliens seemed to help doom the movie. It did break $300 million, but thanks to its $200+ million production budget (via Box Office Mojo), it was a box office disappointment and went on to pick up six Razzie nominations.

61 Gun Shy (2000)

Maybe one of the most curious entries in Neeson's filmography is this dark comedy co-starring Sandra Bullock and Oliver Platt, which sees an undercover DEA agent ing therapy to cope with the stresses of his job. Unfortunately, the film's attempts at humor are largely crass, relying on fart humor and controversial jokes more than what can usually be expected from a Neeson vehicle.

60 After.Life (2009)

In this thriller, Christina Ricci plays a young woman who awakens after a car accident to find a mysterious mortician (played by Neeson) preparing her for burial. It's a novel setup, with lots of creepy potential, but unfortunately it's not too long before it becomes an underwhelming Saw imitation, trapping two interesting actors in typical horror genre roles.

59 Third Person (2013)

Paul Haggis, director of Crash, revisits his love of interconnected narratives with this glorified travelogue that synchronizes three tales of love, one at the beginning of a relationship, another at the middle, and the third at the end. There are some solid performances here, but the labyrinthine artifice of the enterprise winds up weighing it down.

58 Clash Of The Titans (2010)

This 2010 rehash of the groundbreaking and charming Desmond Davis and Ray Harryhausen original was Neeson's first post-Taken action film. Attempting to cash in on the public's obsession with fantasy visuals made popular by Avatar, Clash of the Titans only succeeds as a giant spectacle, a 3D CGI movie that not even Neeson's small turn as Zeus can elevate. However, it did make $493 million worldwide (via Box Office Mojo), before picking up two Razzie nominations.
