Kevin Costner’s 10 Best Non-Western Movies

Though Kevin Costner’s work in westerns is beloved, many of his best films were actually made in other genres. Thanks to movies like Dances With Wolves and shows like Yellowstone, Costner has cemented his legacy as a modern-day western icon, but he has never been shoehorned into one genre exclusively.

From his earliest days as an actor at the beginning of the ’80s, Costner clearly had presence on screen, and it didn’t take long for him to land leading roles. A stretch of hits starting in 1985 launched Costner into the A-list, and he was soon one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Despite a wealth of films in various genres, Costner has since become associated with westerns, and they have defined his career. Alongside his sports movies, Costner’s accolades in westerns are numerous, but that only captures a small portion of his career. His greatest triumphs actually came elsewhere.
