 Michael Fassbender Top Movies

When you hear the name of the actor Michael Fassbender, you become suspicious. For even if there is a certain similarity to the name of the great German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder and both of them earn their daily bread in the film business, they do not really have much in common. Fassbender was born in Germany, more precisely in Heidelberg, and moved to Ireland as an infant with his parents (father German, mother Irish).

After graduating from the Drama Center in London, Michael Fassbender worked for several years on various TV productions (including the award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers).

However, his cinema career started relatively late, but in the last few years Michael Fassbender has become one of the most prominent male actors. Therefore, a list of the best Michael Fassbender films is long overdue.

What Michael Fassbender delivers in the psycho-drama Shame on acting is already very impressive. He's the embodiment of a smart New York businessman in the prime of years who suffers from sex addiction. At first he can hide his obsession halfway, but when his sister (Carey Mulligan, pride and prejudice) moves in with him, he can hardly control his addiction to lust anymore. You can see in almost every scene how the suffering is written on his forehead.

Not for nothing has Michael Fassbender cleared away for his performance of various international film awards. Shame was already his second most successful and fruitful collaboration with British director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave). That should have driven the market value of Deutschiren duly upwards.

Prometheus: Dark Marks (2012) 

Watch the movie with the SciFi shocker Alien: The sinister being from a foreign world has created masterpiece Ridley Scott a classic and at the same time unleashed a wave of alien film sequels, but all the 1st part was not enough. In 2012 he decided to take a seat on the director's chair again and to tell the story of the alien myth. In Prometheus: Dark Mark Michael Fassbender plays the android David, a machine so - and that gets really good. For though you can see that it is an inhuman character, it does not work in any way artificially. In recent years, Oldie Peter O'Toole (The Lion in Winter) would probably have got the role of David, but there is a certain optical similarity between the two actors.

Hunger (2008)

Hunger Film Look Online Before Shame was hungry, the result of the first collaboration between the Fassbender-McQueen duo. Here, Michael Fassbender plays an imprisoned IRA terrorist who goes on a hunger strike to gain political prisoner status.

Steve Jobs (2015)

Steve Jobs film onlineThe second biopic about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is based on the official biography of Walther Isaacson. The film about the deceased visionary deals above all with the presentations of Macintosh (1984), NeXT (1988) and iPod (2001). 

These led to conflicts between Jobs (Michael Fassbender) and Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen, The Interview) one of the other Apple founders. Not only with the marketing boss of Mac, Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet, sense and sensuality) he had some problems, he fought with the then CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels, The Chaoscamper) a huge power struggle. But Steve's authoritarian leadership style and uncompromising claim to power have made the company what it is today ...

Not only Michael Fassbender shows his outstanding acting skills in this film, also Seth Rogen and Kate Winslet show their best side. A multi-layered, witty and perhaps a bit exhausting film, which one must have seen in any case.

Macbeth (2015)

Haywire (2011)

Watch Haywire's movie online In Steven Soderbergh's (Magic Mike) fast-paced action thriller Haywire takes on ex-martial arts fighter Gina Carano (In the Blood) with various agents, all of whom are pretty much gutted in the course of the movie.

Sure, here Gina Carano steals the men's show, nevertheless, the film must not be missing in the list of the best Michael Fassbender films, because he is just a good thriller.  

Fish tank

Biography of Michael Fassbender

Fassbender - with e and not with i: a fine difference. Because Michael Fassbender has nothing to do with director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The only things in common: the German roots and a name that is an integral part of the film business. His breakthrough in the Hollywood dream factory owes the German-Irish actor not only his German work ethic, but also his Irish ease.


Fassbender has had plenty of both from birth on the path of life. "From my father, I have this typical German work mentality, I like it all right, and I'm always meticulous in my work, and he told me: If you do something, do it neatly - or just let it be the same "The mother of my birth is probably more of a celebration gene," said Heidelberg-born Fassbender in an interview with Gala. At the age of two, the red-haired boy went to the green island in the tranquil town of Killarney. 

Since he grew up with English as a mother tongue, Michael does not speak German as well as he would like, which he regrets meanwhile. In Ireland, as a teenager, he gave free rein to his Hollywood dream, drumming up his friends to stage Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" with them in a nightclub. Had the red-haired bully at that time already suspected that he would one day even work with Tarantino, his Irish temperament would have gone well with him. And if he had known what he would expect in the film business, he might have left his German pessimism unchanged.

For after the 22-year-old had broken off the drama school to switch directly to the movie screen, he first suffered a few proper low blows. The lead role in "Pearl Harbor" went to Ben Affleck and not to him. Fortunately, in the same year he got a similar role in the US television production "Band of Brothers - We were brothers". With that the leaf began to turn slowly.
