Want to know the best Frank Marshall movies? How about the worst Frank Marshall movies? Curious about Frank Marshall box office grosses or which Frank Marshall movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Frank Marshall movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst reviews? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Frank Marshall (1946-) is a 5-Oscar® nominated film producer and director. In 1981, he co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy. That partnership over the last 35 years has produced some of biggest box office hits of all-time….not to mention two children…as he and Kennedy married in 1987. His IMDb page shows 114 producing credits from 1971-2017. This page ranks 72 Frank Marshall movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, documentaries and shorts were not included in the rankings.
Drivel part of the page: When Dan requested a page on Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy…my first thought was….”well that will be an easy one to do”. My thought was that most of their movies would be Spielberg movies…and since we have a Spielberg page…it would be a snap. It did not take long when I looked at their IMDb pages…..that “it would be a snap” quickly faded away. First of all….they have been very busy…with over 210 IMDb credits between them. Second of all…while they have done lots of movies together (48 in case you are wondering) they have also done lots of work separately. So it was decided to give both of them their own UMR pages….and to include a Yours, Mine and Ours table as well. Here is our Kathleen Kennedy page.

Frank produced Sully.
Hey Dan….I just saw Sully…loved it…Hanks is awesome…Clint still has it….and noticed Marshall’s name in the credit….time to update that page…..I am surprised that Jason Bourne pretty much died overseas. Thanks for the heads up.
