Re:Which of these recent Brad Pitt roles is your favorite?

Ok.  Of those listed, I've seen:

Babel
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Ocean's Thirteen
Troy

I have no intentions of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Smith, because I hate Angelina Jolie that much.  I went all pop culture and voted Rusty Ryan in the Ocean's movies because he's a perfect counter-foil to George Clooney's smarmy Danny Ocean.  I enjoyed Benjamin Button immensely, but he was mostly CGI for that film (voice acting or no).  I did not like Troy and didn't mind him in Babel; it just wasn't my favorite film.  With that said, I'm looking forward to Assassination, Burn After Reading, and Inglorious Basterds.  It seems he has some box office appeal for me :-)

My vote has to go to Jesse James.  I enjoyed the movie and his character more than the others listed that I have seen.

[I went with Troy, not because Brad was so good in it but because he made a heroic effort to support a not-very-good movie.

So I picked Chad from Burn After Reading.  Of course!  It's the Coen brothers duh!  But really this is probably my favorite Brad Pitt role ever.  It's hard to say, but Jeffrey Goines from Twelve Monkeys might still be my fave.

Not that Brad wasn't already willing to make himself look silly on screen, but I still love how the Coens kind of subverted his image to make him such a spaztic dork.  And what becomes of the character is such a shocker!

"You think that's a Schwinn!"

He was tons of fun in the recent Inglorious Basterds too I thought, even though Christoph Waltz definitely stole the show in that film.

Those are actually the only two films I've seen on this list.  I've been wanting to see Babel and The Assassination of Jesse James for quite a while though so I was curious to see how much votes they would get in this poll.  But I was surprised to see that almost every category is getting an equal ammount of votes.  I guess that means it's a pretty good poll then!

Has anyone here seen Bejamin Button?  I'd heard from a lot of people I trust that it wasn't that impressive.  Anyone here have any opinions?

Went with his Burn After Reading role, because it was so much fun.  I didn't like the movie over all--it started off well, then took that shocking turn to the downer that just, well, ruined it for me.  Too bad -- the cast and the writing were good otherwise.

But my favorite of Pitt's roles is still 12 Monkeys.

Agree with Pippin about Angelina Jolie--did not see Mr. & Mrs. Smith precisely because she was in it.  I have seen a few of her movies, but she's never been worth the effort, really, and she just annoys me.  (Though not as much as Kiera Knightley.)  Haven't seen Benjamin Button yet, either; sort of lost interest, for some reason.  People either really like it or are indifferent to it.  I'll see it eventually, but there are other films I want to see more.  Like Inglourious Basterds.  :-) 

Babel was good; Troy was not, though Pitt was OK.  Enjoyed Troy mostly because I took my niece to see it; her reactions were worth the sitting through.  The Ocean's films are fun and I liked his role in those; 13 would be my runner-up in this list.  I still can't quite decide if I liked or disliked the Jesse James film.  It had such a strange feel.  I don't fault Pitt--he and the rest of the cast were good, but....well, guess I'm still thinking about it.

No reason to feel sorry!  Please feel free to comment on any of the older polls.  I'd be glad!

Maybe I shouldn't close them.  When I started I figured it would be a good idea to have them close after being active for a month, but what do you think?
