Yesterday I walked out of the Expendables thinking a few things, but one thought stood out amongst the rest: Bruce Willis needed to be in this movie more. Don't get me wrong, the cast was entertaining and there was a ton of action (to say the least), but I felt shortchanged by the amount of Bruce Willis in the film. After going home and looking up his catalogue I was surprised to see how many movies there were in which he starred that I love.
This article will discuss my top five favorite Bruce Willis films from the past two decades.
One film that I certainly have to mention is The Sixth Sense. I am not usually a fan of M. Night Shymalan movies, but his first major motion picture was a smash hit, both at the box office and from an audience standpoint. This film is awesome and Willis is a major part of the reason why.
If you are a fan of science fiction movies, then one film that you must see is Twelve Monkeys. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt star in this futuristic post apocalyptic thriller, and as always, Bruce Willis delivers big time in this one.
No list of Bruce Willis films would be complete without paying homage to The Last Boy Scout. This film helped set the precedent for action films of the 1990s. Tony Scott directed and Damon Wayans also stars in this one.
One film that certainly needs to be mentioned on any article discusses Bruce Willis' finest work is a Die Hard film. Everyone has their own favorite and for me, it never got better than the original. That is not to say that I did not like the others; it is probably my second favorite action franchise (right behind The Terminator) but for me the original set the precedent for the rest.
One other film of Bruce Willis' that I feel the need to mention is The Fifth Element. This is another one of my favorite science fiction movies of all time, and Willis does a seriously good job in the role of Korben Dallas.
The last film I will mention on this list may come as a surprise to some, but it is none other than Lucky Number Slevin. Sure, it was just a small role, but this movie is just awesome and feel that it deserves a shout out.
