9. The Life Of David Gale
8. K-PAX
7. 21
6. Se7en
5. The Usual Suspects
4. American Beauty
3. A Bug’s Life
2. Moon
1. L.A. Confidential
Honorable Mentions:
– Working Girl

– A Time To Kill
Any others not on the list are ones that I haven’t seen, such as Elvis & Nixon. There are quite a few Kevin Spacey films that I haven’t seen. What are your favorites? 🙂
Cinema Parrot Disco 
Oh, yes.
Lol. There seem to be quite a few Kevin Spacey fans. : )
Great list. A very talented actor. It is always great to see him in “evil” roles like in Seven and in The Usual Suspects. It takes much skill to pull these ones off.
Thanks! Yeah, he’s great in any kind of role. Not sure which is my actual favorite role… Maybe American Beauty. : )
Tough not to pick the Usual suspects for me – nice list, happy birthday Kevin!
Thanks! Yep – everyone loves The Usual Suspects. I like that one okay but the ending makes it, obviously- I could take or leave the rest of the movie. : )
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist……….and like that………he’s gone!”
One of the greatest crime flicks ever made…………..Kevin Spacey is God!
Yep – he’s a great actor! Hasn’t been in so many big roles lately. I’d love to see him in things like The Usual Suspects & American Beauty again. : )
I love that you included A Bug’s Life. American Beauty will always be #1 for me.
Pixar will always make any list of mine. : ) I do love American Beauty. A lot of people don’t! I was surprised by that – I think it’s a great film & possibly my favorite Spacey role. : )
I liked Beyond the Sea and while not a movie – House of Cards is awesome!
Yeah, not seen Beyond The Sea but I’d like to. Not seen House Of Cards either but I’m not great about watching TV shows. : )
Such an amazing list! I love Kevin Spacey in everything and anything. He’s so charismatic.
Thanks, Anna! Spacey is a great actor. I’d love to see him in big roles again such as American Beauty. That’s possibly my favorite role of his. : )
Se7en is my most favouritest film ever, so that wins for me. I really need to re-watch The Usual Suspects because I think I’d like it more now (I didn’t dislike it, I was more ambivalent), and I’ve still not seen Moon, for shame.
Yeah, I figured more people would mention Seven but everyone seems to like The Usual Suspects the most. I was a bit ambivalent about that one too. Oh, yes – you really should see Moon!!! Add it to your massive “To Watch” list. ; )
Actually, I hate the movie Se7en. Over the next several years I wouldn’t see several other movies because they were made by the same people who made Se7en. The ending upset me so much. I like horror movies but this one bothered me more than horror movies. All I could think was that the writers were severely warped.
I do agree with you on this one… I don’t HATE the film but find it extremely disturbing. I’m not a big horror fan in the first place. Well, I like old “slashers” and unrealistic stuff like that. But I’ve never been a fan of the more realistic, serial killer type movies. Too disturbing. And Se7en is indeed one of the absolute most disturbing of all (although a very well made film). I HATE Gwyneth Paltrow, though, so…. : )
Great list! Love Spacey was lucky enough to see him in a play (and meet him) a few years ago. I still need to catch up with a lot of his films though.
Thanks! That’s cool – would like to see him in a play. And meet him! Great actor. : )
It was a very powerful play Moon for the Misbegotten very early on in my theatre going days, one of the first plays I got to see. It actually transferred to Broadway with Gabriel Byrne in the lead role.
You can check out my Spacey meet on my blog, posted it earlier this year as eventually found the photo!
Funny Usual Suspects link there! : )
I thought it was a pretty cool link 🙂
American Beauty is my #1!
I do love American Beauty. It was probably my number one at some point! I think it’s my favorite role of his. : )
he is so good!
Agreed! Great actor. Would love to see him in great, big roles again. : )
Gotta love Spacey,he’s the man.
He’s such a great actor! : )
I could pretty much him in anything.

Kevin Spacey is awesome. I was raised to understand the concept that he was PHENOMENAL. No arguments allowed. Luckily he is that good, so I could roll with it xD
Agreed – he’s a great actor & has also been in some fantastic films. : ) I first loved him in American Beauty – I should really check out more of his films!
How funny. My latest post is a quiz on him. Something tells me you’ll ace it haha.
Ha! There are actually quite a few Spacey films I still haven’t seen. : )
I’m sure it’s just The Usual Suspects 😉
It has to be American Beauty for me.
I love American Beauty! I was surprised when someone reviewed it for me & a lot of people said they hate it. I think it’s great. And Spacey is awesome in it. : )
American Beauty is definitely on my top list of films, I recently wrote blog on its preferred reading and what I believe the film is really about. Kevin is a legend and played the role to perfection, The Usual Suspects also made my list!
Yeah, American Beauty is a great film. I know some fellow bloggers hate it but don’t really understand why. Spacey is a big reason why it’s so great, though. : )
Agreed! House of Cards is a series I would highly recommend ^^
I think Kevin Spacey is a BRILLIANT actor. One might think his somewhat bland features would work against him in Hollywood. But thankfully, he got started far enough back that it didn’t matter and his asking skills shine. One outstanding film that should be on that list is Ordinary Decent Criminal. I loved that movie.
Yep – he’s a great actor. It’s a shame that looks matter so much nowadays (in movies as well as music, where it REALLY shouldn’t matter). Hell, all the best musicians from my beloved 70s were ugly as hell and would never get work now! Lol. Hmm… I’ve never even heard of Ordinary Decent Criminal. I’ll have to look that up! : )
