In 1951, William Shatner made his film debut in the movie, The Butler’s Night Off. From here he followed up his movie acting work with appearances in films such as Oedipus RexThe Brothers Karamazov, and The Christmas Tree.

To begin with, his on-screen roles were small parts, but soon his star status began to grow as audiences took the actor to their hearts. This in turn (along with his starring role in the television series, Star Trek) increased his presence on the big screen, and propelled his career toward the icon he would eventually become.

But how familiar are you with William Shatner’s back catalogue of movies? If you were asked to name them all what would you say?

Well, don’t worry, because I can help. In this post you will find a list of all William Shatner’s movies, presented in chronological order, starting with minor roles and bit parts in his early pictures, and running through to more substantial roles in later life.
