Jeff Bridges' Finest Roles In Throughout His Career

By Derek Sanders


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.

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.

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.

Another movie that I would definitely include on this list is Tron. This is one of the founding fathers of both science fiction and special effects driven movies, and I cannot wait to see what Tron 2 will look like in 3D. The sequel will also star Bridges.

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.

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.
