My Top Five Favorite Jeff Bridges Movies
One actor who is finally being realized for his incredible talents is Jeff Bridges. The “Dude” has been acting since the early 1970s, and even has a film credit as an infant for the 1951 film, The Company She Keeps. I am not all too familiar with Bridges, older films, but his recent movies have been nothing short of spectacular.
This article will discuss what I consider to be the top five best Jeff Bridges movies.
The first movie on this list that I will discuss is Fearless. People often get this film confused with the Jet Li epic, but this movie is completely different. Bridges’ Fearless came out in 1993 and was directed by Peter Weir.
Another fantastic film that stars Jeff Bridges is Arlington Road. Talk about a suspenseful movie. This film also stars Tim Robbins in what has to be his creepiest role. I love Tim Robbins, and this film almost ruined my opinion of him.
Tron is another movie that definitely makes the cut for me. Tron was definitely one of the most influential science fiction movies of all time, and audiences around the world are highly anticipating the sequel coming out in December.
One movie that is impossible to not include on my Jeff Bridges list is Crazy Heart. It is not so much the movie that is great, but Bridges’ performance. In this film, he plays a washed up country singer named Bad Blake. This is a character piece at its finest.
It goes without saying that any fan of Jeff Bridges will include The Big Lebowski as one of his best films. This very well may be the role that he will be remembered for the most; any fan of Bridges or the Coen Brothers must see this film, if they already haven’t.
As it stands, this is my list. I am eagerly anticipating Tron 2, however. All the previews for it look amazing.
