Paul Giamatti Movies

Want to know the best Paul Giamatti movies?  How about the worst Paul Giamatti movies?  Curious about Paul Giamatti box office grosses or which Paul Giamatti movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Paul Giamatti 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.

Paul Giamatti (1967-) is an Oscar® nominated American actor who has become one of the best character actors working today.  His IMDb page shows over 110 acting credits since 1990. This page ranks Paul Giamatti movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television appearances, shorts, documentaries and movies not released in North America were not included in the rankings. 

Drivel Part:  So this request comes from BryRog57…..better known in my family as Cogerson son #1.  BryRog57 has made some awesome suggested pages in the past….his requested Pixar vs DreamWorks and Marvel vs DC movie pages have turned out to be our two most popular pages….with over 600,000 combined views.  Granted his requested Edward Norton (435th in views) and Woody Harrelson (349th in views) pages were duds.  So let’s see how Paul Giamatti does at UMR.com.
