So, let’s get started, shall we?
(FYI: The movies are ranked based on their year of publication).
1. Se7en (1995)
The movie “Se7en” was published back in 1995, which means it is almost 30 years old, however, it is still watched even today and for many people it remains their favorite. This movie was directed by the popular director David Fincher and stars the two famous actors of the acting industry, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, as its protagonists.
The plot of the movie revolves around Brad who is playing the role of a detective agent called David Mills. He is hunting down a serial killer who uses seven deadly sins, hence the name of the movie “Se7en”.
2. Fight Club (1999)
“Fight Club”, just like “Se7en”, stands on the top position when it comes to Brad Pitt’s best movies. It is true that many people worldwide know Pitt because of his debut in this movie which is just spectacular. This movie was also directed by David Fincher and seems like any collaboration of Fincher with Pitt has resulted in success.
Brad Pitt is the protagonist and the star of the movie where he plays the role of Tyler Durden. Tyler Durden is a salesman who has a fight club which operates underground. The entire movie is about Tyler’s encounters with other people in the movie, related to the fight club. Nevertheless, the narrative is twisty, and things change when the viewer doesn’t expect it.
3. Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
“Ocean’s Eleven” was launched in 2001 and it is a movie directed by Steven Soderbergh. In this movie, Brad Pitt plays the role of Rusty Ryan who is a very charismatic character. Needless to say, it is not difficult for Pitt to add his own charisma to this character, as he is well known for carrying it so well in every appearance.
Brad Pitt plays along with George Clooney in this film, who plays Danny Ocean. They are thieves in the movie; however, they have some specific rules when it comes to stealing as they don’t want to hurt anybody, steal from those that don’t deserve it and go into the robbery as if you don’t have anything to lose.
4. Troy (2004)
The movie “Troy” could not have missed this list. “Troy” describes the Greek myth of Troy and Sparta, as depicted in Homer’s Iliad. Brad Pitt plays the main protagonist, Achilles, who is a warrior in the war between the two kingdoms. This is Brad Pitt’s one of the most iconic roles that he has ever played and his appearance with the long blonde hair fits the role so brilliantly.
The movie itself is realized very professionally and you could see that a lot of effort was put into every scene of this movie.
5. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” came out in 2008 and was directed by David Fincher. In this stage, Pitt plays the role of Benjamin Button, who is a man who ages in reverse. His look with the famous celebrity designer glasses from this movie is a memorable moment that many fans identify Brad Pitt with.
This movie is about Benjamin’s life in its entirety including his love life but also other experiences he has during his life. It shows the passage of time in reverse and is of course very unconventional as he goes from old to young.
