10 Essential James Caan Movies, Ranked
Dogville, Rollerball, and The Godfather are all among the best and most essential movies featuring late actor James Caan.

Actor James Caan rose to prominence with his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, before appearing in several classics and under-the-radar gems in the 1970s. He brought a kind of electric volatility to the screen that few actors could match, capable of bouncing between charm and menace, tenderness and rage. Whether he was smashing a camera with a baseball bat, breaking down emotionally in a hospital corridor, or gently tossing snowballs in Central Park, Caan radiated presence.
