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.

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 fantastic film that stars Jeff Bridges is Arlington Road. Talk about a suspenseful movie. This film also stars Tim Robbins in what has to be his creepiest role. I love Tim Robbins, and this film almost ruined my opinion of him.

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.

Of all the movies that Bridges has starred in, in no movie was his performance as impressive as in Crazy Heart. If you put any other actor in this film, it probably would have been overlooked; Bridges managed to make this movie into his personal masterpiece, culminating in an Academy Award.

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.
