Movies starring Brad Pitt

Thelma & Louise (1991)

130 mins     Adventure , Crime, Drama      

Let me just state right from the word go that I always thought "Thelma & Louise" was a good movie but never got why so many people rated it great. You see even back in 1991 when I first watched "Thelma & Louise" I thought oka...

A River Runs Through It (1992)

123 mins     Drama      

Movie Review - A River Runs Through It (1992) Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt star in this look at the life of Norman Maclean and his brother Paul and how their shared love of fly fishing teaches them many a life lesson...

True Romance (1993)

120 mins     Drama, Romance, Thriller      

"True Romance" comes from the pen of Quentin Tarantino, and like his other screenplays, it is full of action and violence which at times over shadows a reasonably good story. What makes this film slightly different is that it...

Legends of the Fall (1994)

133 mins     Drama, Romance, War      

"Legends of the Fall" feels like it wants to be an epic saga, a melodrama which spans decades in the life of one family the Ludlow's, taking in the turmoil's, the fights, jealousy and romances which befall them. And for the m...

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

123 mins     Drama, Horror, Romance      

The storyline to "Interview with the Vampire" goes on as that barely covers the first half of the movie but in the same manner the focus is on Louis' story and his conflict with being a vampire and his hatred of Lestat for do...

Twelve Monkeys (1995)

129 mins     Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

I would imagine we all have them, movies which from a production perspective are the full package; great look, nice camera work, large characters, big performances as well as a story which is anything but routine but for some...

Se7en (1995)

127 mins     Crime, Drama, Mystery      

I once asked someone what was so great about the movie "Se7en" and they struggled to come up with an answer. And I have found this is often what happens when "Se7en" is brought up in discussion with your average movie goer wh...

Sleepers (1996)

147 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

"Sleepers" is based on a novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra, and supposedly based on a true story, although several groups that have investigated this claim that they have come up with no proof that there is any truth it at. Althoug...

Seven Years in Tibet (1997)

136 mins     Adventure , Biography, Drama      

"Seven Years in Tibet" is the movie adaptation of Heinrich Harrer's true story of his time spent with the young Dalai Lama but for the most it ends up a movie about Brad Pitt. That may sound quite harsh because in fairness I ...

The Devil's Own (1997)

107 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

It is said that Brad Pitt tried to leaved "The Devil's Own" as the production was a mess and it wasn't the movie he signed on to make thanks to script rewrites. I can see why because any movie which features the IRA should ha...

Meet Joe Black (1998)

178 mins     Drama, Fantasy, Mystery      

"Meet Joe Black" contains all the elements to make for a total knockout of a movie. The actual storyline of death taking a holiday is interesting and clever, it brings romance and drama as well as a touch of comedy to the mix...

Fight Club (1999)

139 mins     Drama      

If I was to watch a popular movie once and say it is overrated would be honest but maybe unfair as maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it. How about it I said I had watched a movie 5 times and my opinion didn't chan...

Snatch (2000)

104 mins     Crime, Thriller      

Whilst there are different characters and situations "Snatch" feels like an extension of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", basically Guy Ritchie taking what he had already done and then showing what he could do with it w...

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

112 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

Remakes are a dodgy area, often not wanted by movie lovers because too often they tamper with a much loved Hollywood classic and balls it right up. It's rare that they get it right but in the case of the "Ocean's Eleven" rema...

The Mexican (2001)

123 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

"The Mexican" is rather a strange movie because whilst it stars Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts it's not about Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts. In fact "The Mexican" is in effect two stories which do connect but you have the story of...

Spy Game (2001)

126 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

Sit down, strap in and get ready for a rollercoaster ride - a typical comment you could throw at many of the movies which had Tony Scott at the helm and one justified when it comes to "Spy Game". In fact "Spy Game" reminds me...

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)

86 mins     Adventure , Animation, Comedy      

By the 90s I had hit the age where I was no longer in to animations and in fairness for about twenty years I generally avoided them until recently where for some reason as a forty something I have started to watch them again....

Ocean's Twelve (2004)

120 mins     Comedy, Crime, Thriller      

The first "Ocean's Eleven" was a surprisingly good movie, especially as it was a remake so a sequel was pretty much anticipated. Well "Ocean's Twelve" comes along full of the impressive visuals, star studded cast, humour and ...

Troy (2004)

163 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

I've never read Homer's epic poem "The Illiad," it wasn't part of my schooling and I've never felt a longing to read it, but I can hazard a guess and say that Wolfgang Petersen's "Troy" does not do it justice. And the reason ...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

120 mins     Action , Comedy, Romance      

So let's state the obvious, the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is electrifying, it is part of the reason why "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is so good and whether anything happened behind the cameras at this stage is here...
