Iconic Roles: Brad Pitt's Best Dramatic Movies

Beloved Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is ready to mesmerize fans once again as he returns to the screen in Damien Chazelle's Babylon. After landing several small roles in his early films in the late 80s, Pitt began to grab everyone's attention with an unforgettable performance in Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise, which also featured him as the charming actor he would become. In Babylon, Pitt portrays Jack Conrad, the "partying movie star" in 1920s Los Angeles, a character inspired by Hollywood stars John Gilbert and Clark Gable. For the occasion, he will work with Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde, Tobey Maguire and Spike Jonze, among many others.

Here is the list of the best drama films of Brad Pitt.

Jeffrey Goines in 12 Monkeys (1996)

In the late 90s and early 2000s, Pitt topped many lists of sexiest men in the world, especially after gaining popularity after the 1994 interview with the vampire. At the same time, Pitt proved himself to be quite a skilled and versatile actor, not just a sex symbol. One of his most critically acclaimed performances came in Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys, a sci-fi story set in the (not so distant) future where humanity is dealing with the aftermath of an epidemic of deadly virus. Goines is a peculiar mental patient who befriends the protagonist, James Cole (Bruce Willis), a man sent from the future to prevent the release of the virus. At the time, 12 Monkeys was considered a box office hit after grossing $168.8 million. Thanks to his efforts, Pitt received his first-ever Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Tyler Durden in Fight Club (1999)
