Why I love Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt. Though I never list this guy among my favorites, he really is and I should start doing that. I claimed for years now that this is a man whose 90% of films are fantastic. He is almost never wrong when choosing films and even if he is (The Mexican, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Troy) he always gives 100% of his talent.

He is one of those actors who do both well in drama and comedy. He was mesmerizing in last year's Moneyball, fascinating in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and heartbreaking in Babel. But it's his comedy efforts that are the closest to my heart - from Mickey through compulsively eating Rusty to Chad, Pitt never ever failed to make me laugh.

Though Se7en is a bleak movie there are many moments of humour there - Who knows. So many freaks out there doin' their little evil deeds they don't wanna do... "The voices made me do it. My dog made me do it. Jodie Foster told me to do it." - lines like this, spoken by Pitt's rookie cop and one of my favorites - the shot of him and Freeman napping in the waiting room, with heads resting on each others shoulder.

Though Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a movie that's basically double wank and shit chips there is a reason why I always watch it when it comes on TV. That reason is Brad Pitt. From his reaction when he finds out his wife is an assassin through the little thing he does with his legs and arms when he discovers all his guns are gone to the simple things like that gif on the left, he is absolutely hilarious.

In Fight Club Pitt completely embodies Tyler - his carelessness, hotness and coolness. There are many golden scenes, like the one when he drives around on the bike, wearing a bathrobe in a mess of a basement or small things like his reaction to the decor in Marla's place or just insane, enthusiastic and worryingly friendly gestures he makes but the showdown with Lou is absolutely unforgettable.

In Snatch, my all time favorite comedy and the most hilarious movie I've seen, Pitt played Mickey very skilled boxed and a pikey, whom nobody can understand. The film is filled with wonderful performances, but Pitt as hard drinking, goofy and careless Mickey is by far the most memorable. From his negotiation techniques to the fact he doesn't freeze in dangerous situation Mickey is unexpected winner of the film. Along with the dog.

As Rusty Ryan, perpetually eating thief in Ocean's 11 trilogy Pitt is incredibly funny and his chemistry with George Clooney is one of the things that made those movies so cool. Rusty is always eating, while being perfectly dressed always being smooth. My favorite one, just as for Catherine Zeta Jones's character is the photo of him hiding behind the tree, eating ice cream.
In Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds Brad Pit plays Aldo Raine, the man whose mission in life is hunting down and killing Nazis. In the film funniest scene him and two of the fellow Basterds pretend to be Italians. Pitt's delivery of the word "Arrivederci" with his strong Southern accent which sounds utterly ridiculous is one of the funniest moments out of all Tarantino's films.

Though Moneyball is Pitt's best performance, his Chad in Burn after Reading is my absolute favorite. Silly, goofy and completely lovable Chad brings so many great moments to the movie. Every time he is on the screen I can't stop laughing. From his happy and sunny disposition through the way he climbs over the fence to the big smile in his last moment Pitt is perfect all the way.
