All 1 Movie Directed by Charles Laughton, Ranked

As far as Charles Laughton’s legacy goes, he’s well-established as one of the greatest actors of his generation. Not that Wikipedia is the be-all and end-all, by any means, but if you visit Laughton’s page, it’s kind of telling that he’s described, right at the top of the page, as “a British and American actor.” Actor. It’s right there. That’s what he did, and that’s what he did well. Some of his best performances can be found across a wide range of genuine classics, including Spartacus, Witness for the Prosecution, 1935’s Mutiny on the Bounty, and 1939’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. But he didn’t just appear on film, given he also did quite a bit in the world of theater. On stage, he acted and also sometimes served as a director, and going back to the cinema landscape, Laughton also directed there, and found success… kind of. Eventually.
