Robert Duvall turns 92 today, so let’s reflect on the legendary actor’s career that will see a brand new performance this week as “The Pale Blue Eye” begins streaming on Netflix.

Nominated for seven acting Academy Awards, Duvall stands as one of the greatest to ever grace the silver screen, appearing in a handful of absolute classics.

See our picks for his 10 best films, ranked in order, below:

10) To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Duvall’s breakout performance as reclusive Boo Radley put him on the Hollywood map, but the role is so small (on screen, at least), we can’t rank it any higher than here, although the moment we finally see Radley elicits gasps. It won three Oscars for actor, adapted screenplay and art direction and scored five more nominations for picture, director, supporting actress, cinematography and musical score. Widely considered an American film classic, the film stays true to the book in confronting the South’s troubled past during its troubled present at the time when it came to race relations.

9) Kicking & Screaming (2005)

Am I calling this minor (but hilarious ) Will Ferrell vehicle a better film than “To Kill a Mockingbird?” You be the judge, at least after you watch Duvall have a ball as Ferrell’s villainous and competitive soccer coach father with an unexpected but brilliant rivalry with former NFL coach Mike Ditka. Family man Phil Weston takes on the coaching duties of a kids’ soccer team to win the approval of his fierce father. It’s always a blast seeing screen legends who aren’t scared to make fools of themselves.

8) A Civil Action (1998)

John Travolta stars as a tenacious lawyer takes on a case involving two companies responsible for causing several children to be diagnosed with leukemia due to the town’s water supply being contaminated. Duvall earned a best supporting actor nomination for his portrayal as a veteran attorney working on behalf of one of the corporations named in the class action lawsuit in Steve Steven Zaillian’s powerful late ‘90s legal drama.

7) Network (1976)

One of the most gifted and dependable actors of any era, Duvall dominated the 1970s, and you found his name in the credits of a handful of some of the greatest films ever made, including Sidney Lumet’s brilliant satire of the media industry via Paddy Chayefsky’s Oscar-winning screenplay. As a smarmy television executive, Duvall knocks it out of the park, seeking to milk ratings out of chaos when newsman Howard Beale (Peter Finch) suffers an on-air nervous breakdown.

6) The Great Santini (1979)

A young man struggles to win the approval of his demanding would-be alpha male father, Marine pilot Lt. Col. Wilbur “Bull” Meechum, in Lewis John Carlino’s adaptation of Pat Conroy’s novel. (Catch Michael O’Keefe right before he played Danny Noonan in “Caddyshack”). The ultimate overbearing dad movie, punctuated by one of Duvall’s showiest performances after nearly two decades of more understated character work.

5) The Godfather Part II (1974)

Corleone family consigliere Tom Hagen’s role changed in Francis Ford Coppola’s masterful sequel, and so did Duvall’s within another impeccably assembled cast of actors realizing a crime saga for the ages. Kept an arm’s length by new boss Michael, Hagen springs into action after an assassination attempt, seeking to protect the family at all costs. Duvall’s steady hand helped propel this into the pantheon.

4) Apocalypse Now (1979)

Duvall earned his second Oscar nomination, here playing Lt. Col. William “Bill” Kilgore, another feather in the actor’s cap of hyper-competitive strongmen, this time on an actual battlefield. But when the stakes couldn’t get higher during a helicopter raid in Vietnam, the avid surfer famously says “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” before he hits the waves of the freshly conquered beach. Francis Ford Coppola’s grim odyssey into war-torn hell gets weird fast, with Duvall adding unexpected levity through a bizarre character.

3) The Godfather (1972)

Is Francis Ford Coppola’s mob masterpiece the best movie featuring a Duvall performance? Probably, but is it Duvall’s best performance or the best movie in which he is the star? No, this movie obviously belongs to Marlon Brando and Al Pacino (and even James Caan), but Duvall’s Oscar nomination for best supporting actor was well-earned for his workmanlike approach to Tom Hagen, consigliere to the Corleone crime family. “Mr. Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news immediately,” Hagen tells Hollywood big shot Jack Wolz, the night before Wolz wakes up with a horse head in his bed.

2) Tender Mercies (1983)

A broken-down, middle-aged country singer gets a new wife, reaches out to his long-lost daughter, and tries to put his troubled life back together. Robert Duvall won his only Oscar in Bruce Beresford’s redemption tale written by Horton Foote. this quietly powerful family drama teaches us it’s not too late to get our act together, especially for the sake of our loved ones in need of our presence. Tess Harper and Allan Hubbard lend steady support as Duvall’s country singer’s newfound family and foundation. Filmed in Waxahachie and Palmer, two towns in Ellis County in north central Texas, we recommend it if only for one of the best songwriting lessons ever filmed, proving Duvall could have made it as a musician.

1) The Apostle (1997)

After his happy life spins out of control, a charismatic preacher from Texas changes his name, goes to Louisiana and starts a new community church. A California native and longtime Hollywood vet would seemingly has no business understanding the South as much as he clearly has throughout his career, but the Oscar-winner gets it like too few do, and his masterpiece reflecting that knowledge comes in this redemption drama exploring the importance the Christian faith in the area.
