What to Watch After 'Naked Gun': 5 Liam Neeson Films That’ll Make You Love Him Even More
These picks prove he’s more than an action star.
After playing a clumsy detective in the Naked Gun reboot — one of the funniest performances of the year, by the way — Liam Neeson might be headed into a full comedy era. And honestly? I’m here for it.
But while we wait for the digital release, it’s a great time to revisit some of his most iconic (and underrated) roles — ones that show just how versatile Neeson really is.
Ordinary Love (2019)
Not your usual romantic drama — Neeson plays a husband caring for his wife through cancer. Quiet, heartfelt, and beautifully acted.
Love Actually (2003)
A holiday classic. Neeson’s turn as a widowed stepdad is still one of the warmest parts of this ensemble favorite.
Batman Begins (2005)
Even in a supporting role, Neeson’s Ra’s al Ghul is unforgettable. He starts as Batman’s mentor… and turns into something much darker.
Taken (2008)
The one that redefined his entire career. As ex-CIA agent Bryan Mills, Neeson kicked off a new era of gritty thrillers — and became a full-blown action icon.
Schindler’s List (1993)
Still one of his most powerful roles. Neeson earned an Oscar nom as Oskar Schindler, a man who risked everything to save others. A landmark film — and a landmark performance.
