Movie quiz #44: in your opinion what was the best movie that starred?

Pointe break he played the role real well like it was made just for him...don't get me wrong i still like the matrix and all and the devil's advocate, he's cool with me

I would have to say The gift, he played such a mean terrible man, and he was actually a good actor in this movie. You could actually see his acting skills. I was extremely impressed with Keanu Reeves, who delivers a genuinely haunting performance. It's times like this where I just can't fathom why many people still insist on picking on Keanu, regarding him as dull and cardboard. Personally, I thought he was great ever since his emotional performance in "Permanent Record." But he better demonstrates his versatility as an actor as the abusive Donny. He made his debut, as a villain, in the throwaway thriller "The Watcher," but I found him much more haunting in this role. Plus, he sports a rugged look, totally shedding his pretty-boy image

Speed

Not only did it launch his career (Post Bill & Ted), the dynamic of an action film allows his limited acting ability to be hidden and compensated for in the manner of a bus that can't go below 55 mph.

With Jeff Bridges and Dennis Hopper doing fantastic performances, and a new fresh face with an adorable bob haircut driving the bus (Ms. Bullock), Speed was by far the best Keeanu Reeves movie ever.

Speed

Under a Bus going over 60 MPH to defuse a Bomb.. Then he had the brain matter to place something on gas pedal to keep bus at set speed until he transferred everyone off the bus. He and Ms. Bullock transferred just as the bus ran out of road.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Replacements - He showed a little humor in that one

I also liked Constantine - He didn't seem so stiff in this one.

I also liked Bill and Ted's Big Adventure.

Bill and Teds adventure. Took no real acting ability at all to play that role.

Come on people! Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure.

It's his only character that didn't seem forced and

unnatural.

Me too with Cilla.

His robotic actions were perfect for that series of movie ... he really would have a heard time acting his way out of a paper bag.

Easily the matrix. His somewhat different, I won't say bad but it occasionally borders on that, acting style seemed to work in that movie.
