All Brad Pitt Movies Ranked

Everyone knows about an early Brad Pitt appearance as the stoner roommate in True Romance, and you might think he spent his formative Hollywood years building a resume of such goofy, secondary parts. But that movie came out in 1993. By 1991 (the same year he played the hitchhiker in Thelma & Louise), he was already the title lead in Johnny Suede. Guess you just couldn’t keep those looks off-camera; True Romance just showed Pitt could deliver laughs to go with them.

The year after, it was truly off the races, with the 1994 double-whammy of Interview with the Vampire and Legends of the Fall. And 1995 saw him in classics of their respective genre: 12 Monkeys and Seven. Then Pitt closed out the decade by re-teaming with Seven director David Fincher for Fight Club, and all of a sudden a lot more dudes were putting posters of him up on their walls.

Obviously, Pitt knows a good friendship when he sees one, as some of his best work since has been in the hands of people’s he’s worked with before. He gotten together with Fincher another time for Curious Case of Benjamin Button; with Steven Soderbergh, he’s made three Ocean’s movies.

And in 2019, he got some of his finest critical praise for playing stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with whom he previously worked on Inglourious Basterds. There was also moody space epic Ad Astra, directed by James Gray, whose previous movie, The Lost City of Z, was produced by Pitt. (Speaking of, Pitt’s production credits are almost as impressive as his acting credits, and both came together in a big way with 12 Years a Slave, which won the Best Picture Oscar.) As we patiently wait on potential future collaborations with the Coens (Burn After Reading), Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life), and, hmm, Ralph Bakshi (Cool World), we’re ranking all Brad Pitt movies by Tomatometer!
