Here is the list of all James Cagney movies.
James Cagney was an American actor, dancer, and singer who became one of the most iconic stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Born on July 17, 1899, in New York City, Cagney grew up in a working-class family and began his career as a vaudeville performer.
Cagney's breakthrough role came in 1931 when he played the lead in the movie "The Public Enemy," which catapulted him to stardom. He became known for his tough guy roles and signature style of rapid-fire dialogue and dynamic physicality. He appeared in a string of successful movies throughout the 1930s, including "Angels with Dirty Faces" (1938) and "The Roaring Twenties" (1939).
Cagney was also a talented dancer and showed off his skills in several musicals, including "Footlight Parade" (1933) and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Cagney received numerous accolades throughout his career, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute in 1974. He died on March 30, 1986, at the age of 86, but his legacy as a talented actor and dynamic performer lives on.
