The Role: Noah
Why It’s The Best: Signing on to again work with Terry Gilliam, Bridges plays rocker Noah, who flees to his mother’s home with daughter Jeliza-Rose after his wife dies from an overdose.
Jeliza-Rose then escapes her traumatic experiences by entering into her own fantasy world.
Iconic Moment: All we’ll say is: chair, sunglasses, dead. Creepy and hilarious at the same time.
Jeff Says: “Terry is a very enthusiastic director. He loves to get all your ideas. He wants you as involved as you can be. It’s wonderful when directors call on you.
"Some directors can cause people to get very tight. Terry’s certainly not that way. Tideland is the weirdest movie I’ve ever done. I think it’s the weirdest movie Terry’s ever done.”

Glad you included Cutter's Way. Haven't seen it in a while but remember loving it. Also, I am ready to look back at older Jeff Bridges' work and your list is a great place to start.

I remember him being the best thing in Against All Odds. He was excellent in Crazy Heart.. no one else could've made that role their own. I'd also include The Vanishing (good movie apart from the happy ending) and in King Kong he was the only person who looked like they were enjoying themselves.. I think that's part of his charm

I wish you'd include Surfs Up.

It's criminal that Arlington Road doesn't feature in here. I recall Blown Away as being entertaining also.
