The 15 Best Josh Brolin Movies, Ranked
By LIAM GAUGHAN
15. Wall Street 2
When director Oliver Stone decided to make a sequel that could live up to the legacy of "Wall Street," he needed a new generation of antihero. It's something Josh Brolin was able to bring with his role as the villain Bretton James in “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.”
14. Flirting…
David O. Russell's 1996 comedy film "Flirting With Disaster" is the story of an awkward and chaotic family reunion. Brolin portrays the role of ATF agent Tony Kent who is dating his fellow agent Paul Harmon (Richard Jenkins).
13. Gangster Squad
"Gangster Squad" is an energetic tribute to old-school gangster movies that allows its ensemble to have fun. Brolin plays a central role as LAPD Sergeant John O'Mara, a World War II veteran frustrated by the police force's inability to bring the notorious Mickey Cohen to justice.
12. Everest
"Everest" tells the gripping true story of the 1996 massacre in which two expedition groups experienced a deadly storm during their ascension of Mount Everest. Brolin appears as Beck Weathers, an American doctor whose vision is impaired by the storm, making the extreme weather conditions even more frightening for him.
11. Infinity War
Brolin voiced Thanos in 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and 2015's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," to build anticipation for his key role in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War." Thanos was well worth the wait and proved to be a much more complex character than a purple space god had any right to be.
