After making my Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies list, I noticed Pitt's in 2 of the 5 (Inglorious Basterds, The Tree of Life). Last night I watched True Romance, where Pitt's Floyd is bar none one of the funniest cinematic stoners I've ever seen (and he has maybe 5 minutes worth of dialogue), and thought, why not make a Top 5 list of Brad Pitt's best roles. Here it goes.
5. Tyler Durden (Fight Club)
As exploited as Fight Club was, what with all these Hot Topic types, it is a well made film. Durden has aspirations to put us back to the primatial times... and blow up buildings while attempting to do so.
4. Jeffrey Goines (12 Monkeys)
This mental patient eerily mirrors Depp's depiction of HST in Fear and Loathing, coincidentally both films done by Gilliam.
3. Floyd (True Romance)
As reported in a recent interview, Floyd is whom James Franco based his Pineapple Express character on.
2. Chad Feldheimer (Burn After Reading)
When your wife is Angelina Jolie and she tells you that this is the one time she doesn't find you attractive, well, you must be doing something right... acting-wise that is.
1. Mickey O'Neil (Snatch)
Fncking pikey, my personal fave and I barely understand his dialogue.
Honorable Mentions:
Jesse James (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford)
Detective David Mills (SE7EN)
I don't care how huge this man is... he can act. One of the few mega stars that I can respect.
