Jeff's top five performances?


In which five films do you think Jeff gives his best performances? For me it's the following.

Fearless
Crazy Heart
The Fabulous Baker Boys
The Big Lebowski
Seabiscuit

I can't come up with five. I have never been a big fan of Jeff Bridges but he was absolutely and surprisingly brilliant in Starman.

reply

Tough. I like Bridges in almost everything he has done. I would say in general, I prefer his later work to his earlier work.

1) True Grit (IMO, so much better than the original)
2) Big Lebowski
3) Hell or High Water
4) The Contender
5) Crazy Heart

True Grit is one of the few films where I thought the remake was better.
