Ten Favorite Bruce Willis Movies
(The top-tier Bruce Willis movies are unusually easy to distinguish from the middle and bottom tiers. Here are my favorites, in order of preference.)
12 Monkeys (directed by Terry Gilliam, 1995)
Die Hard (directed by John McTiernan, 1988)
Pulp Fiction (directed by Quentin Tarantino, 1994)
The Sixth Sense (directed by M. Night Shyamalan, 1999)
The Player (directed by Robert Altman, 1992)
Looper (directed by Rian Johnson, 2012)
Moonrise Kingdom (directed by Wes Anderson, 2012)
The Kid (directed by John Turteltaub, 2000)
The Fifth Element (directed by Luc Besson, 1997)
Sin City (directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, 2005)
(I’m leaving out The Verdict (directed by Sidney Lumet, 1982), in which Bruce Willis has a very minor uncredited background role, but if it counted, it would certainly make my top five.)
