I must give an honorable mention to The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. An underrated film that has a dark portrayal of the famous train robber.
Compared to my previous lists, I haven't managed to see all of Pitt's classics. Out of his 56 feature films, I have seen 36 of them. So thankfully I've seen most of them to make a decent top 10 for you. I will rank all of the films that I have seen, and will give a short review of each of my top 10:
36) Ocean's Twelve
35) The Counsellor
34) Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas
33) World War Z
32) Killing Them Softly
31) Happy Feet Two
30) Ocean's Thirteen
29) Mr. & Mrs. Smith
28) Allied
27) The Tree Of Life
26) Ad Astra
25) Fury
24) Bullet Train
23) Megamind
22) The Big Short
21) Thelma & Louise
20) Legends Of The Fall
19) True Romance
18) Sleepers
17) Seven Years In Tibet
16) A River Runs Through It
15) Burn After Reading
14) Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood
13) The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
12) Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles
11) Ocean's Eleven
10) Troy - Probably one of the last great 'swords and sandals' films. It follows the events of the Greek army's plan to invade Troy, lead by their greatest warrior, Achilles (played by Pitt).
It has a great epic feel to it, has a fantastic ensemble cast, amazing action scenes and has a great nostalgia feel to it.
9) Babel - After the success of 21 Grams, director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu comes back with this star studded story of multiple stories involving four families that all manage to interlock during the film.
It is quite something to watch and makes you impressed at how you could create something like this. Pitt plays this husband on holiday in Morocco with his wife (played by Cate Blanchett) who get involved in a horrible incident that plays a vital part in this epic tale.
8) Moneyball - Recently seen this Oscar nominated film where Pitt plays a former owner of a Baseball team and manages to re-design a 100+ year old sport.
It is a portrayal of one of the greatest modern tales in Baseball that even I have witnessed as I am a fan of Baseball.
But what makes it great, is that non-Baseball fans will love it as well as fans of the sport.
7) The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - Winner of 3 Oscars, this film managed to be haunting, moving and fascinating to the very end.
Starring as Benjamin Button, this quite literally curious case is performed so well by Pitt. Aided by leading actress Cate Blanchett, their relationship is worth giving up a few hours for to witness. I remember the ending being quite disturbing and very shocking to think of if this was a real situation.
6) Meet Joe Black - Saw this one very recently and took my breathe away, and almost brought a tear to my eye. Pitt exceeds everyone's expectations with his performance as Joe Black. Alongside Anthony Hopkins, their on-screen relationship was absolutely perfect in this moving tale. It has a lot of touching drama, romance and a surprising amount of funny moments. Something for everyone.
5) Twelve Monkeys - Only recently seen this and was completely sucked into the crazy vision of director Terry Gilliam's world of time-travel.
With Bruce Willis leading the way, it is Pitt's craziness that manages to get him an Oscar nomination.
Pitt definitely steals the show in this absorbing sci-fi psychological thriller that really makes you think.
4) Snatch - Guy Ritchie's second gangster epic and fan-boy Pitt was desperate to be involved in his next venture and was given the role of Mickey, a fast-talking Gypsy with one heck of a punch. It is quite a performance which shows what he is capable of doing on screen.
The whole movie is very enjoyable to watch and it shows how healthy British cinema is.
3) Inglourious Basterds - His first and so far only appearance in a Tarantino film and made quite a presence in this blood-bath loose portrayal of WWII in Nazi-occupied France.
Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine, leader of 'The Basterds' and his performances will make you tense, laugh and be in amazement. It's vintage Tarantino throughout.
2) Fight Club - Probably his most well known role. After the success of Se7en, director David Fincher teams up with Pitt once again.
This time as soap maker named Tyler Durden who forms an underground fight club with an office worker played by Edward Norton trying to find meaning to his existence.
1) Se7en - His first blockbuster and in a lot of people's all-time top 10 lists. This dark and disturbing thriller has Pitt playing a young detective being transferred and being aided by another detective played by Morgan Freeman who is on the brink of retirement.
The whole mood of this film was very chilling and Pitt's character's first case ends up changing his whole life.
20) Legends Of The Fall
19) True Romance
