Liam Neeson movies in order 

If you were to write down the names of the hardest working actors in Hollywood, Liam Neeson would appear somewhere on that list. Quite possibly, his name would pop up towards the top.

With over 100 acting credits under his belt, including many on-screen roles, as well as a whole stack of voice-over and narration work, Neeson is a non-stop acting machine. After getting his initial break in the late ’70s he simply hasn’t stopped working, and has built up a huge portfolio in the process.

To be fair, this is probably something you’ve noticed. His name crops up that often it’s hard not to spot him, but even if you are aware of his work ethic, you probably aren’t aware of all his movie work.

Well, today you can be. Below you will find a long list of all Liam Neeson’s movies, including cameos and voice/narration work.

So, those are all of Liam Neeson’s movies, but which are the best? Do you recommend Batman Begins, or is Non-Stop the Neeson movie for you?

Perhaps you simply can’t beat Taken 2, or maybe Rob Roy is a must-see. Heck, who doesn’t have time for Michael Collins or Schindler’s List?

Well, whatever Neeson movie you think is the best, get shouting about it. We won’t know if you don’t say!
