Top 10 Best Brad Pitt Acting Performances
While World War Z is probably his most successful film we still can't get over his other accomplishes. As for his other accomplishes in his incredible long list of great films films I wish that would make the top ten are films like the Ocean movies where he is really good also working with his wife in Mr. & Mrs. Smith also Burn After Reading but these are the films that I think are his best on performance wise but to be honest film wise most of these films are better than the other but Brad gives undoubtly a great performance. He can give small roles to that work for example his small and funny role in Thelma & Louise works great.

- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittCate BlanchettTilda SwintonTells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with consequences.What seems as Forrest Gump without the bench sure but what that film didn't have was an arc of strong characters long together played by the great Cate Blanchett who gives a better performance than her Oscar win here and Brad Pitt being what the film is all about
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsBrad PittEdward NortonMeat LoafAn insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker form an underground fight club that evolves into much more.He is what makes this 2 hours and 19 minute film what it is as this film would be nothing without his crazy performance as probably the best character people have seen on screen but why is this number nine on my list because really there are better performances that he has done in better films but this truly a high violent film that truly deserves an 11

IñárrituStarsBrad PittCate BlanchettGael García BernalTragedy strikes a married couple on vacation in the Moroccan desert, which jump starts an interlocking story involving four different families.This is truly to me the best film on this list but Brad Pitt the amount of time he has he makes great and something only a great actor like that can do route and believe in him
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsMorgan FreemanBrad PittKevin SpaceyTwo detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his motives.While the fact is this is like a rising star I think this is his Titanic to Leonardo but this time it is shorter meaner and better because right after studios snatched up (no pun) him to be the next rising star in both to act side by Morgan Freeman in a thriller that is # 22 in IMDb top 250 this is a truly good film with a great ending
