Martin Sheen Movies

sheen-1st-photoWant to know the best Martin Sheen movies?  How about the worst Martin Sheen movies?  Curious about Martin Sheen’s box office grosses or which Martin Sheen movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Martin Sheen movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

A few years ago Sunshine625 requested a movie page that ranked all of the Sheen family’s movies.  So I put them all on one huge movie page.  It turned out well but it was probably a little too long….and the Google search gods never liked the page….so the views were pretty bad.  Well now that we are moving to a new website….I figured I give each Sheen/Estevez their very own page.  Their new individual links….Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen.

Martin Sheen (1940-) was born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez in 1940.  His acting career is now almost 60 years long.  His IMDb page shows over 250 acting credits since 1956. This page will rank  Martin Sheen movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, cameos and movies that were not released in theaters were not included in the rankings.

  1. Hi Coge…No matter what you decide to write about, it’s always simply great. I have always liked Martin and his sons. Emilio hasn’t seemed to be as big as life, but he’s such a good actor, I don’t understand that. I remember seeing him for the first time in the “Outsiders”…when that movie first came out, my sons and I must have watched it 50 times.

    Even though Martin has had quite a film career, my favorite role of his was TV’s President Bartlett……we still watch reruns.

    Poor Charley. He took such a stumble. Problem is, it was his own feet he was tripping over. I would love nothing better than to see him make a big comeback and redeem himself completely…..

    Thanks for this wonderful and informative movie page, Coge!!

  2. Hi Cogerson: Guess What!!! I had a man out this morning to clean my gutters on my second story house – he did a good job. Took over two hours to get the job done. I was flicking channels to see what was on and guess what I watched while the work was being done – SHADOW CONSPIRACY. You guessed it – I watched it again and enjoyed it. You will have to check it out – perhaps at the library. Not something for the little ones though. LOTS OF ACTION AND VIOLENCE. Thanks for your response.

    1. Hey BERN1960….glad your gutters are clean…..strange that Shadow Conspiracy was on again……but I think the 6 year old and 3 year old can handle the violence and action….lol. Thanks for the update

Thanks for sharing this, it was terrific! Voted up – interesting – awesome 🙂

  4. Hi Bruce; While I’m not really a huge fan of either of the brothers, the family does make interesting reading. I enjoyed dad Martin more (“Apocalypse Now” and “the West Wing”)

    Great information as usual,

    Rob

    1. Hey Rob….thanks for stopping by….I agree with you about Martin….he seems to have the best acting ability of the three….and Apocalypse Now and West Wing are excellent. I appreciate the kind words in the comment…they are greatly appreciated.

  5. Hello Cogerson, You know, in spite of the meltdown Charlie had that was so publicized, I can’t help but love most of his movies and even the TV shows he’s been in. He is the politically incorrect, modern day Archie Bunker in this world of PC zealots who’ve turned our words into the fear factor. His Dad is also a personal favorite for his role in the “Final Conflict” which we used to watch again and again because of the paradox and subject matter of time travel. I loved Emilio in Breakfast Club, Stakeout and Mighty Ducks. Let’s face it. They each exude a whopping bunch of charisma.

    1. Hey PegCole17…thanks for visiting my latest hub. I agree with you 100%….they might not have made the best movies but they are entertaining. Whether you like Charlie Sheen or not…..you have to give him credit for his comedic skills. As for Martin….I really liked The Final Countdown as well…..and Sheen is great as the one person who realizes that changing history might not be a good idea.
