A Variety Of The Best Acting Performances From The Very Passionate Thespian, Jeff Bridges

By Martin Cooper


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.

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.

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.

To not put The Big Lebowski on this list would be a shame. This film has become such a cult classic that bowling leagues across the country have sprouted up in its honor. This is definitely one of the better comedies of the nineties.

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