Lee Marvin’s All-Time Best Movies!
Ben Sherlock at ScreenRant came up with his list (and rationale) for the 12 Best Lee Marvin Movies Ranked. Sherlock’s list is a good one, but leaves out some of Marvin’s films that I’d have included. So before you click over, here’s how Sherlock and I compare and the movies that would have made my list that didn’t make his.
