Yeah he really is terrific and he chooses such interesting films and they are not always easy - I mean Tree of Life and 3h long Jesse James is something that is quite risky. I really love the fact he does so wonderfully in drama and comedy. One more movie I'd add to your list is California I saw it years ago but he was awesome in it.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-22632553266907202672012-08-27T07:29:28.991+02:002012-08-27T07:29:28.991+02:00I am a big fan of Brad Pit.

Look again and you realise there are a lot more. Just about every role is memorable for some reason or other. I enjoy his work in True Romance, Se7en, 12 Monkeys, Sleepers, Fight Club, Snatch, Spy Game, Ocean's Eleven (always eating, love it), Babel, Jesse James, Burn After Reading, The Tree of Life and Moneyball. One of my most anticipated films this year: Killing Them Softly. He's a star pull and an excellent actor who has only got better with age.

Oh, and his outtake of Moneyball, when he can't stop laughing, is so sweet and funny! Can't wait to see him in Killing them softly, he looks so good in that trailer :D Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-48312973367004706402012-08-24T00:32:32.771+02:002012-08-24T00:32:32.771+02:00Se7en just repeated a key plot point that the Coen...Se7en just repeated a key plot point that the Coens had already used four years earlier in Barton Fink, so having seen it, yes I found it predictable. That doesn't mean it was bad, though. Frankly, most movies are predictable and I watch them precisely because I want to see what I figure is going to happen.<br /><br />By the way, I've been told I'm "not normal" because of this. I'm not sitting there trying to figure it out; the answers just pop into my head. My guess is it has something to do with pattern recognition because I used to score high on tests of that ability (i.e. "what's the next number in the sequence?") For what it's worth: I figured out the twists for both The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects while I was watching the films, but I did not figure out The Crying Game, even though I knew it had a twist. There have been three movies where I've figured out the twist from the trailer alone - Fight Club, Derailed, and Shutter Island.<br /><br />And what I meant by "not watching" movies is people spend a lot of time not actually paying attention to what's happening on the screen because they are turned away to talk to someone, they are looking at their phone texting, they are gone to the bathroom, in another room getting food or drink, yelling at the kids, letting the pet in or out, etc. The thing is, most people don't even realize how much they miss until they get into a conversation about the movie afterwards. I worked with someone who could watch an entire movie the night before and not be able to discuss even moderately sized plot points the very next day. The blipping in and out of existence of Pitt's character in Fight Club is quick, so if people were not looking at the screen the four or five times they did it, then they ended up getting surprised by the reveal at the end.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-84702366804885140502012-08-23T21:24:22.782+02:002012-08-23T21:24:22.782+02:00When they finally make my film biopic I assume Bra...When they finally make my film biopic I assume Brad Pitt will be playing me. ;-)<br /><br />One of my favorite actors working today.

And speaking of predictable, I figured Fight Club out from the trailer, then in the movie they even blip Brad Pitt in and out of existence a few times before he shows up for good. It absolutely amazes me that so many people have been surprised by the twist in this. It was an early confirmation for me that people weren't really watching films anymore; they just had them on while they did other things. Se7en is the better of the two movies. Fight Club is somewhat overrated, mostly because of the "twist".<br /><br />I just checked Pitt's entire list of films on IMDB. I've seen 31 of them and I confirmed that the only two I've watched more than once were Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Ocean's Eleven (unless you include Less Than Zero where Pitt was an uncredited extra according to IMDB.)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-91262449848108876532012-08-23T02:53:53.439+02:002012-08-23T02:53:53.439+02:00They are?
