Total Recall: Brad Pitt's Best Movies

by Jeff Giles | Thursday, Nov. 29 2012

Summary

Today he's one of the most bankable movie stars in Hollywood, and one of the few actors audiences will pay to see no matter what sort of role he's playing -- whether it's action, drama, or comedy the script calls for, having Brad Pitt's name above the title is about as close as anyone can come to a guarantee for a hit film. Not so long ago, however, Pitt was just another good-looking dude with enough gumption to work his way into a steady stream of TV shows and bit parts in movies. He's come a long way, for sure, and to celebrate his latest starring role -- in Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly, opening this weekend -- we decided the time was right for yet another Brad Pitt edition of Total Recall!

"what's in the box"?? One of the worst-acted scenes in a great movie. It almost completely ruins the movie. PLEASE reshoot that scene!

guys look at the end there is another list ranking fight club at 1st and Curious Case is also on the list. Instead of ordering it by Tomato rnk its done more or less how it should be.

God I love Brad Pitt! One of my all time favorite actors (along with Denzel Washington), I just love watching his work! He is such a huge influence and inspiration to me and without a doubt definitely one of the best actors working today (and of all time)!

Where is Burn After Reading???

Udrayana Paundra

disagree.. it should fight club in the top of the lists and then moneyball

His work as Achilles in Troy at least deserves an honorable mention here, if not a replacement of at least two of these titles.

Douglas Doney

But his best ACTING was in Kalifornia. Amazing.

Okay, here's what I don't get. In the last few months, RT has done a Total Recall for Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, and Brad Pitt. "True Romance," which is an undisputedly great film, showed up on Walken's and Pitt's, but not Oldman's. They said on Walken's list that "We don't usually count one-scene roles, but this one is memorable." That's okay, but Gary Oldman's Drexel was in it for more scenes than Walken, yet it wasn't on his list. What's going on, RT?
