By LIAM GAUGHAN
15. Benjamin Button
Telling the story of Benjamin Button, a child who is born with an elderly man’s face and reverse ages as he grows older, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" featured incredible achievements in digital aging. The film's amazing computer-generated imagery earned it three Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Art Direction.
14. Legends of the Fall
With incredible production design and visuals, “Legends of the Fall” features a powerful performance by Pitt, who brings a dramatic weight to his character and reinforces the film’s anti-war sentiment. The film is set during World War I and the prohibition era, and follows the struggles of a former U.S. Army Colonel as he raises his sons.
13. The Big Short
Brad Pitt often attaches himself to films that deal with political causes that he believes in. Pitt both produced and co-starred in "The Big Short,” a dark comedy that examines the events leading to the 2008 financial crisis, and he delivers an offbeat yet endearing performance, making the most of his brief screen time.
12. Twelve Monkeys
Pitt delivers an eccentric performance in “Twelve Monkeys,” a science fiction mystery that explores concepts of time travel, determinism, environmental collapse, and terrorism. Pitt's performance fits the film’s unique satirical tone, and even earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
11. Ocean's Eleven
"Ocean's Eleven" boasts a star-cast, but Pitt's character, Rusty Ryan, is one of the standouts. The film follows Danny Ocean’s (George Clooney) plan to pull a dangerous heist with his best friend, Rusty, which also gives us a chance to see the hilarious chemistry between Pitt and Clooney.
