Celebrate the Legendary Career of James Caan by Streaming His Movies on Netflix

When James Caan‘s family announced his death on Thursday, it sent shockwaves
across the film industry — not because he died at such a young age (he was 82).
But because he seemed to have such a vivid and outsized personality that you
thought he could live forever. In his old age, he hadn’t retired or even slowed
down significantly. And we shall honor his tremendous filmography by streaming
some of the best James Caan films on Netflix.


JAMES CAAN FILMS AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX


CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS AND ITS SEQUEL

James Caan truly had a varied career. His acting roles span from a hotheaded
gangster to The President of the United States. There was noting that James
didn’t so, even lending his voice to characters.



In the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movies, Caan voices the role of Tim
Lockwood, father of the main lead Flint. Tim is a  guy who doesn’t talk much. As
a result in the film with he doesn’t have many dialogues.

However, it is the charm and warmth of James that makes Tim one of the most
beloved characters in the movies.


ERASER (1996)

James always played the macho tough men in his films. Many of his characters can
be branded as anti-heroes, but that’s what made his roles believable. They were
not righteous men but rather humans with flaws.



However, in the 1996 action-packed Eraser, James lets go of all morals and tips
over to the dark side playing the corrupt US Marshal Robert Deguerin. James’
stoic portrayal of the main antagonist is chilling, to say the least, but a
must-watch for all of his fans.

THAT’S MY BOY

The range of James Cann knew no bounds. His acting abilities could easily make a
grown man cry and even roll on the floor while laughing.

In 2012s That’s My Boy, James is at his comedic best.



In the film, Father McNally, a wedding celebrant played by James Caan, is a
vulgar and violent parody of a Catholic priest. His comedic timing is at par
with the likes of Adam Sandler [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/adam-sandler/] and
no one can forget his hilarious fight scene with Andy Samberg.


IT TAKES A LUNATIC

Finally to end the list what better to watch than James Caan himself. In this
documentary about the legendary acting coach, Wynn Handman actors from Alec
Baldwin to Sandy Duncan all share their stories and experiences with the
Artistic Director of The American Place Theatre.
