07 Mar 11 The Best Russell Crowe Roles Of His Career

Let’s talk about one of the most popular actors in the movie industry: Russell Crowe. Sure he has had his fair share of legal issues and is known to have quite the temper, but you cannot deny the talent this man has when put on the silver screen. I think Crowe is one of the better actors out there, and the movie industry is a better place for having him around.

This article will discuss what I consider to be the top five Russell Crowe movies.

The Insider is the first movie that makes the list for me. This movie focuses on the harsh truths of the cigarette industry, and one man who is trying to let the world know. Paranoia starts setting in, however, as the cigarette industry is not looking to have their secrets exposed on national television.

Another great film that starred Russell Crowe is 3:10 To Yuma. This is a modern day take on a Western film and has an all star cast consisting of Crowe, Christian Bale, and the wildly underrated Ben Foster. If you are looking for a good Western with some familiar faces, this is a great choice.

I would be remiss to make a list of the greatest Russell Crowe movies of all time without mentioning the greatest one of all, Gladiator. Plain and simple, Gladiator is one of those films that you must see. If you have not yet seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out.

It is tough to make a list of the greatest films of Russell Crowe without giving praise to his performance of John Nash in A Beautiful Mind. I could not believe he did not win the Academy Award for Best Actor In A Leading Role for this film, but after wining it the previous year for Gladiator, I guess it makes sense.

One other movie that I feel is worth mentioning is Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. This movie is a little slow at times, but when the action is taking place on seas, it gets very intense, very fast.

I would have included The Quick and the Dead on this list, but I really wanted to limit it to five movies and while I loved this movie, it does not compare to the aforementioned five.
