George Clooney's Career Highs and Lows

[being lonely]

In Tomorrowland, George Clooney plays a disillusioned inventor who must save the once-amazing future world he visited as a child. Inspired by this new adventure, the Yahoo Movie Show travels through the real George Clooney’s timeline to revisit the high and low points of his movie career.

Using the very scientific Clooney Head Scale, we’re ranking his most notable film moments, including his breakout role in Quentin Tarantino’s From Dusk Til Dawn (1995); his Oscar-winning performance in Syriana (2005); and his notorious stint as the Caped Crusader in Batman & Robin (1995).

Clooney’s directorial work shows up, too, in the form of his acclaimed political drama Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) and his less-than-loved period pieces Leatherheads (2008) and The Monuments Men (2014). Even with a few bumps along the way (Return of the Killer Tomatoes!, anyone?), Clooney’s cinematic journey — from hot newcomer, to silver fox, to animated fox, and beyond — is one for the ages.
