This article will focus on the career and movies of Jeff Bridges. Bridges has been acting for over 40 years and has quietly established himself as one of the better actors in the industry. If you ever read magazine interviews with actors and actresses, anyone who has worked with Bridges only has great things to say. It comes as no surprise that such a great actor gets to star in great movies.
But which Jeff Bridges films have been the best? Here are my personal favorites.
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 movie that I absolutely loved was Arlington Road. I cannot remember a movie that had me on the edge of the seat the way this movie did. I am a big fan of horror movies, but I found this film scarier than most.
I am also going to include Iron Man on this list. Next to Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, this is my favorite superhero movie ever. Bridges was just one of the many talented actors to appear in this blockbuster film.
I would be remiss to make a list of the greatest Jeff Bridges movies without giving praise to Crazy Heart. This is such a powerful movie and in many ways, reminiscent of Bridges career. I loved this movie.
The Big Lebowski definitely makes the cut, no questions asked. This is one of the iconic performances of Bridges’ career and with good reason. I have a hard time imagining anyone else playing this role and I imagine the Coen Brothers wrote it with Bridges in mind.
Hopefully there is at least one movie on this list of Jeff Bridges films that you have not yet viewed.
