Want to know the best Sam Rockwell movies? How about the worst Sam Rockwell movies? Curious about Sam Rockwell box office grosses or which Sam Rockwell movie did the worst at the box office? Need to know which Sam Rockwell movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Sam Rockwell (1968-) is an Oscar®-winning American actor. Over the years, Sam Rockwell has become one of our favorite actors. He has done a wonderful job of starring in quality independent movies (Lawn Dogs, Moon) while appearing in supporting roles in blockbusters (Iron Man 2, Cowboys and Aliens and The Green Mile). His IMDb page shows over 110 acting credits since 1979. This page will rank Sam Rockwell movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos and movies that were not released in theaters were not included in the rankings.
Drivel part of the page: Years ago we wrote a page that listed current actors/actresses that had been held without an acting Oscar® nomination even though they had performances that were worthy of one. Well of the 10 thespians we named 2 (Gary Oldman, Jennifer Jason Leigh) received nominations and 1 got a Honorary Oscar® (Maureen O’Hara). We feel pretty good that another name will be coming off that list this year…as Sam Rockwell looks like one of the leading contenders for not only an Oscar® nomination but for a win as well.

Hey Dan
1. I figured Sam Rockwell would be somebody pretty high on the Oracle list.
2. I actually thought he would be in or at least close to the Top 100.
3. You are right…..the first list is massive!
4. I like Rockwell and Steve Buscemi….so I am shocked to see that they have made 6 movies together. They are both on my list of actors of who should have gotten an Oscar nomination by now….though Buscemi’s movie career seems to be slowing.
5. 29 Oscar winners is pretty impressive….especially since he has appeared in so many low budget movies over the years.
6. Thanks for sharing this information on one of the best supporting actors working today.
Hey Dan….my new comment widget allowed me to fix the McClure error right here…..and now it will let you fix errors….at least if you find it within 5 minutes.
Wow Sam Rockwell is every where these days. Was reading about his Golden Globe win; just saw his Saturday Night Live host promo and now your page. His 2018 is off to a fine start.
Hey In The Shadows.
1. Thanks for your first comment of 2018.
2. I was debating between doing a Sam Rockwell page or a Michael Shannon page….when Rockwell won the Golden Globe….I went in that direction.
3. Wow…Sam Rockwell is hosting SNL…..I find that amazing……I did not think his star wattage was that high…..but good for him.
4. I agree…his 2018 is off to a wonderful start.
5. In the new Christian Bale movie…Rockwell is going to be playing George Bush…to Bale’s Dick Chaney……that sound very interesting.
Thanks for the feedback.
I’ve seen 14 of the 32 films listed, more than I thought. Favorites include – Moon, Galaxy Quest, Iron Man 2, Cowboys & Aliens and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I haven’t seen The Green Mile in ages, too depressing.
Three Billboards seems to be the film to beat at the Oscars this year after winning at the Globes. Rockwell should pick up a, Oscar nomination.
Hey Steve.
1. Well…I more than double you….as I have seen 30 of these movies.
2. I have seen all of your favorite Rockcwell movies….with Moon and Galaxy being in my Top 5 as well.
3. For some reason I do not find The Green Mile depressing. I remember actually reading that book…..King released in the book in 6 different sections…..so you had to wait to read the whole book. It was evidently how they did books back in the good ole days….but it did not catch on….as only The Green Mile did it that way.
4. I agree Three Billboards along with Lady Bird seem like the leading candidates for the big prize……but watch out for Get Out…..it could surprise like Moonlight did last year.
5. I wonder how the Oscar people will top last year….make two mistakes at the end? And the winner is Dunkirk…..wait…..it is Lady Bird……sorry…..it is Get Out…..lol.
6. I think Rockwell should get a nomination….last year the guy that won the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor managed to get shut out when the nominations came out….hope that does not happen again.
Good feedback.
Hey Gary P. I agree he is indeed a very underrated actor. I think the double whammy of The Green Mile and Galaxy Quest is what did it for me. Actually I am not sure I even realized it was the same actor at first. I was also glad he won the Golden Globe. Now I am rooting for him to get a nomination for Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri. Thanks for the comment.
I have always been a fan of Sam Rockwell. He is always popping up in supporting roles like Conviction, The Green Mile, The Way Way Back and many others. It was his lead performance in Moon that blew me away. He is the type of performer that makes any movie he is in, better. Has he had a bad performance? Sensational look at his career.
Hey Anna-Maria M. Glad a fan of Sam Rockwell’s found our page….it is hot off the presses for sure. Good comment and breakdown of his career. I really enjoyed him in The Green Mile and The Way Way Back. Not as impressed with his role in Conviction…..it is still a good performance…but far from my favorite Rockwell role. I agree with you about Moon…..for a low budget movie….that movie looks fantastic….and his performance seems like it was deserving of an Oscar nomination. As for your question….Has he had a bad performance?….well…I have seen many of the movies listed here….and I have not uncovered one yet. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Want to know the best Sam Rockwell movies? How about the worst Sam Rockwell movies? Curious about Sam Rockwell box office grosses or which Sam Rockwell movie did the worst at the box office? Need to know which Sam Rockwell movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Sam Rockwell was # 498 on the 2016 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list (he’s up to 416 now but had been as high as 395). These are the actors on the 2016 list who worked with Sam;

Hey Dan
1. I figured Sam Rockwell would be somebody pretty high on the Oracle list.
2. I actually thought he would be in or at least close to the Top 100.
3. You are right…..the first list is massive!
4. I like Rockwell and Steve Buscemi….so I am shocked to see that they have made 6 movies together. They are both on my list of actors of who should have gotten an Oscar nomination by now….though Buscemi’s movie career seems to be slowing.
5. 29 Oscar winners is pretty impressive….especially since he has appeared in so many low budget movies over the years.
6. Thanks for sharing this information on one of the best supporting actors working today.
McClure below the Oscar winners is supposed to be at the bottom of the actors who have fallen off.
Hey Dan….my new comment widget allowed me to fix the McClure error right here…..and now it will let you fix errors….at least if you find it within 5 minutes.
Wow Sam Rockwell is every where these days. Was reading about his Golden Globe win; just saw his Saturday Night Live host promo and now your page. His 2018 is off to a fine start.
Hey In The Shadows.
1. Thanks for your first comment of 2018.
2. I was debating between doing a Sam Rockwell page or a Michael Shannon page….when Rockwell won the Golden Globe….I went in that direction.
3. Wow…Sam Rockwell is hosting SNL…..I find that amazing……I did not think his star wattage was that high…..but good for him.
4. I agree…his 2018 is off to a wonderful start.
5. In the new Christian Bale movie…Rockwell is going to be playing George Bush…to Bale’s Dick Chaney……that sound very interesting.
Thanks for the feedback.
I’ve seen 14 of the 32 films listed, more than I thought. Favorites include – Moon, Galaxy Quest, Iron Man 2, Cowboys & Aliens and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I haven’t seen The Green Mile in ages, too depressing.
Three Billboards seems to be the film to beat at the Oscars this year after winning at the Globes. Rockwell should pick up a, Oscar nomination.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve.
1. Well…I more than double you….as I have seen 30 of these movies.
2. I have seen all of your favorite Rockcwell movies….with Moon and Galaxy being in my Top 5 as well.
3. For some reason I do not find The Green Mile depressing. I remember actually reading that book…..King released in the book in 6 different sections…..so you had to wait to read the whole book. It was evidently how they did books back in the good ole days….but it did not catch on….as only The Green Mile did it that way.
4. I agree Three Billboards along with Lady Bird seem like the leading candidates for the big prize……but watch out for Get Out…..it could surprise like Moonlight did last year.
5. I wonder how the Oscar people will top last year….make two mistakes at the end? And the winner is Dunkirk…..wait…..it is Lady Bird……sorry…..it is Get Out…..lol.
6. I think Rockwell should get a nomination….last year the guy that won the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor managed to get shut out when the nominations came out….hope that does not happen again.
Good feedback.
Sam Rockwell is a very underrated actor. He made me first notice him in The Green Mile. Glad he won a Gold Globe.
Hey Gary P. I agree he is indeed a very underrated actor. I think the double whammy of The Green Mile and Galaxy Quest is what did it for me. Actually I am not sure I even realized it was the same actor at first. I was also glad he won the Golden Globe. Now I am rooting for him to get a nomination for Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri. Thanks for the comment.
I have always been a fan of Sam Rockwell. He is always popping up in supporting roles like Conviction, The Green Mile, The Way Way Back and many others. It was his lead performance in Moon that blew me away. He is the type of performer that makes any movie he is in, better. Has he had a bad performance? Sensational look at his career.
Hey Anna-Maria M. Glad a fan of Sam Rockwell’s found our page….it is hot off the presses for sure. Good comment and breakdown of his career.

I agree with you about Moon…..for a low budget movie….that movie looks fantastic….and his performance seems like it was deserving of an Oscar nomination. As for your question….Has he had a bad performance?….well…I have seen many of the movies listed here….and I have not uncovered one yet. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
