The Best Jeff Bridges Films In Years Past

By Brian Siskin


In my opinion, one of the most likable actors in Hollywood is Jeff Bridges. I mean seriously, could Bridges have asked for a better reception when he finally won his first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role? It was an incredible thing to watch, and he definitely appeared to not take it for granted. A truly incredible actor and person.

This article will discuss what I consider to be the top five best Jeff Bridges movies.

One movie of Bridges that I have to include is White Squall. Maybe I am impartial because I love stories taking place at sea, but I thought this was an excellent film. This movie was directed by the great Ridley Scott.

Arlington Road is another film that I certainly will discuss. This movie is not for the faint of heart, and is an incredibly gripping film. While Jeff Bridges is great in this film, the true star of this movie is his neighbor, Tim Robbins.

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.

Hopefully there is at least one movie on this list of Jeff Bridges films that you have not yet viewed.
