From the 80s to the early 90s, Keaton was doing pretty steady work. He had some great performances in Batman, Beetlejuice, Batman Returns, The Paper, Clean and Sober, Mr. Mom, Night Shift, etc. In my opinion, he had one of the best comedic performances in the little-seen (at that time) Multiplicity. That's in my top 3 Keaton performances because of how diverse he had to be, portraying four different personalities.

Shortly after that, his starring roles diminished. He still had the occasional lead role (he is the sole reason to watch Desperate Measures), but nothing on par with his earlier success (though White Noise was an unexpected success in 2005).

It wasn't until 2010 when he did The Other Guys that hinted at Keaton's eventual comeback. He was hilarious in The Other Guys and it reminded people that this was an actor that could be funny with the right role/script. Of course, in 2014, he was in Birdman and that was the performance that cemented his return. He got nominated and won all sorts of awards (though he eventually lost the Best Actor Academy Award to Eddie Redmayne) and the film won Best Picture.

He followed up Birdman with Spotlight, which also went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

His next film was The Founder, which wasn't as buzzy as his last two films, but was really good and he was great in it.

Next, he went on to his biggest film in decades - Spider-Man: Homecoming. Keaton's role as Adrian Toomes/Vulture is one of the only times that Marvel got its villain right and a lot of that is due to Keaton's performance. He is magnetic in the film and brought a lot to that one scene (the car sequence) with Tom Holland. Later that year, he was in American Assassin. Though the film was okay, Keaton delivered in his scenes, particularly the later ones with Taylor Kitsch.

He actually didn't have a film come out in 2018, but has a busy 2019 with this weekend's Dumbo, Toy Story 4 and is reprising his role as The Vulture in Spider-Man: Far from Home.
