This article will focus on the career and movies of Jeff Bridges. Bridges has been acting for over 40 years and has quietly established himself as one of the better actors in the industry. If you ever read magazine interviews with actors and actresses, anyone who has worked with Bridges only has great things to say. It comes as no surprise that such a great actor gets to star in great movies.
Here are some of the better movies to come out that have starred Jeff Bridges.
One movie of Bridges that I have to include is White Squall. Maybe I am impartial because I love stories taking place at sea, but I thought this was an excellent film. This movie was directed by the great Ridley Scott.
Arlington Road is another film that I certainly will discuss. This movie is not for the faint of heart, and is an incredibly gripping film. While Jeff Bridges is great in this film, the true star of this movie is his neighbor, Tim Robbins.
Another movie that I would definitely include on this list is Tron. This is one of the founding fathers of both science fiction and special effects driven movies, and I cannot wait to see what Tron 2 will look like in 3D. The sequel will also star Bridges.
Of all the movies that Bridges has starred in, in no movie was his performance as impressive as in Crazy Heart. If you put any other actor in this film, it probably would have been overlooked; Bridges managed to make this movie into his personal masterpiece, culminating in an Academy Award.
To not put The Big Lebowski on this list would be a shame. This film has become such a cult classic that bowling leagues across the country have sprouted up in its honor. This is definitely one of the better comedies of the nineties.
