Renewed Top 10 - Bruce Willis Movies

Yippee-Ki-Yay

Recently, it was revealed that Bruce Willis was suffering from Aphasia. And that he was going to be retiring from acting. It is sad. Bruce Willis was one of the BEST when it cane to making Action/Comedies.

Was every Bruce Willis movie "Cinema Gold"? No. But when you are good at something, you never do it for free. And Bruce Willis is good at being Bruce Willis. And this list is for the best of the Bruce Willis being the Bruce Willis.

Top 10 Bruce Willis Movies

Here we go...

Honorable Mention 1: The Last Boy Scout: A buddy cop movie that sees Willis hired to protect a pole dancer(played by HALLE BERRY) that ends up murdered, so he teams up with her now boyfriend(DAMON WAYANS), an ex-quarterback with gambling issues, to take down the bad guys. A wonderful action comedy. One if the movies that made me feel that Damon Wayans was the most talented of the brothers.

Honorable Mention 2: Last Man Standing: Bruce Willis classic gangster movie. Exactly how it sounds.

Honorable Mention 3: RED: Willis plays a retired CIA agent who survives a hit... so he decides to get the band back together. Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren. Yeah... and the sequel is pretty epic too.

10. Looper: Bruce is paired with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a thriller about mob Assassinations being done with Time Travel. Things go sideways when an assassin's new target just happens to be his future self.

9. Over The Hedge: Animated movie about a wily raccoon that needs to replenish a supply of junk food for a bear that he... destroyed. Of course, Bruce is the raccoon. And he manipulates a mismatched community of animals living near a Homeowners' Association type neighborhood.

8. 12 Monkeys: Story about a a virus that kills most of Humanity... survivor from the future is sent back to find a original strain of the virus to bring so a cure can be made. Follows the exploits of that survivor and how you just can't change the past, even if you have the tools to do so.

7. Sin City: Adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novels of the same name, all in black and white except for one color per scene. It is a shared starring role, as there are different segments highlighting a main character. But Bruce's Hartigan is the only one who gets 2 segments. One before he was framed for a crime he didn't commit... and one getting revenge for that. One of my favorite lines in ANY medium... delivered by Bruce... twice. Chills every time. "I took away his weapon. Both of them." Before forcefully castrating the rapist/killer. Too bad the sequel couldn't have been just as good.

6. Look Who's Talking: A movie starring Kirstie Alley and John Travolta... and a baby. What makes that special? Bruce Willis provides the inner voice of Mikey. So here is this baby... thinking in Bruce's voice. It writes itself.

5. Die Hard Franchise: The first 3 Die Hard Movies are legendary. They really are. The 2 modern ones... have not been. Or this would be higher. What is Die Hard? You are in the wrong place. Sorry.

4. Hudson Hawk: Before Nic Cage was straling the Declaration of Independence and Paul Rudd was stealing the Yellowjacket suit, Bruce Willis played an ex-con master thief is blackmailed by a few different people into stealing stuff like the works of Da Vinci. It was fun... it was funny. And a must see in Bruce's filmography.

3. The Sixth Sense: I see Dead People. M. Night Shyamalan's magnum opus. About a Child Psychologist trying to help a kid that sees dead people. One of the greatest twists in cinema history... and... changed how twists are done.

2. Unbreakable: Speaking of M. Night Shyamalan, here is the first movie of M. Night's superhero trilogy. And it really makes the viewer feel that superheroes could be real. Well thought out... and Bruce throwing subversion into making us feel that he really didn't know what was going on. Yet another M. Night Shyamalan twist.

And the Number One Bruce Willis movie is...

1. The Fifth Element: One of my favorite Sci-Fi flicks, and it batshit crazy to think about. Bruce Willis as a space age cab driver, Tiny Lister as the President, Chris Tucker as a radio host people actually could handle listening to, Gary Oldman as a Space Redneck(think of that accent) villain. And Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, the Fifth Element, the so called Perfect Being(okay... that was good). It was entertaining... everyone played their parts wonderfully. And... here is a weird piece of trivia... the Protagonist(Willis) and the Antagonist(Oldman) NEVER cross paths in the movie. No fight scene. No face to face. They never meet. Adds to that over the top... EVERYTHING... this movie is known for. And Bruce Willis IS the Lynchpin for it all.
