simon-gruberWant to know the best Jeremy Irons movies?  How about the worst Jeremy Irons movies?  Curious about Jeremy Irons box office grosses or which Jeremy Irons movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Jeremy Irons movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place.

Jeremy Irons (1948-) is an English Academy Award® winning actor.  Irons began his acting career on stage in 1969.  After eleven years of stage and televison appearances, Irons appeared in his first motion picture in 1980.   Since that first movie appearance, he has become one of the most recognizable actors in movies.  His IMDb page shows over 95 acting credits since 1971.  In the table below Ultimate Movie Rankings ranks his movies in 6 different sortable columns.  Television roles, cameos, shorts, straight to dvd movies and movies not released in North American theaters were not included in the rankings.

Drivel part:  Where did the time go?  This is our first UMR page on a current star in almost 2 months. Normally when we do a current star, Box Office Mojo, is our main source to make sure we included all of that subject’s movies that were released in North America.  So we thought we were finished with the research on this Irons page when we realized that Mojo had only included about 75% of his movies.  Now we are paranoid that we have left off movies on previously completed current star UMR pages.   So after a few bumps in the road….this page…which was requested by Dan….is now complete.

  1. Glad to see Mr. Irons page. Wish I had seen a few more of his movies, but the ones I have seen are classics.
    Seen: 8/41 or 19%
    Favorite Top 10: Die Hard with a Vengeance
    UMR Snub: Too High….I will keep saying it, DC is not doing well, BvS and Justice League…Blah.
    Guilty Pleasure: The Man in the Iron Mask…Leo doing his thing…not the same movie I remember as a kid, but I can still watch it.
    Interesting Fact: I have not seen his Oscar winning performance.

    1. Hey BryRog57……8 is not too bad. I am only at 22….I figured I would be higher…seems I have watched lots more Irons movies. I think his Gruber is his most famous role…even though he got the Oscar for Reversal of Fortune. His DC movies have done well at the box office compared to most movies…it is only when compared to other superhero movies that it falters. His Alfred will not go down in history like Caine’s Alfred in the Dark Knight trilogy. Surprised you did not mention Kingdom of Heaven….a movie that you liked and continues to improve with age. Good stuff from son number 1.
