Oscar-winner Robert Duvall has starred in dozens of films spanning a 60+ year career, racking up six additional nominations in the process, but how many of those titles remain classics? Let’s take a look back at 20 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Duvall made his big screen debut with the small but memorable role of Boo Radley in “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962), released when he was 31-years-old. His first Oscar nomination came just 10 years later: Best Supporting Actor for Francis Ford Coppola‘s mob classic “The Godfather” (1972).
It would take 11 years before Duvall finally clinched that elusive Best Actor Oscar for “Tender Mercies” (1983), a small-scale drama about a drunken country-western singer working towards redemption. He would compete five additional times: lead for “The Great Santini” (1980) and “The Apostle” (1997); supporting for “Apocalypse Now” (1979), “A Civil Action” (1998), and “The Judge” (2014).

Hidden away on the other side of the world 15 years after World War II ended, a team of agents from an Israeli security agency intercepted a man named Ricardo Klement, a name they knew to be an alias for Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Nazi’s “Final Solution.”
This fascinating story has been the subject of several books, articles, documentaries and features, including, most recently, “Operation Finale,” starring Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley as Eichmann and opening in theaters this week.
According to one filmmaker, “Operation Finale” isn’t even the whole story. Randall Christopher is the director of “The Driver Is Red,” a short film making the festival circuit that played at Sundance earlier this year and also just won TheWrap’s Industry Prize at the ShortList Film Festival.
