Poll: Favorite Jeff Bridges performance
With Jeff Bridges closing in on a possible Oscar night victory for Best Actor, thought I'd see which performance from his lengthy career is considered his best/most favored.

He was also quite good in Stay Hungry, one of the films not included in the poll.

The Fabulous Baker Boys by far. Wonderful movie about brotherhood staring two real life brothers.

The Dude is iconic, but I loved him in Fearless.

Re: Poll: Favorite Jeff Bridges performance
Yeah, this thread should have read "BESIDES the Dude....what is your favorite Jeff Bridges performance".

The man has quite an impressive body of work. I'd like to add to that list some films/performances not mentioned:

"Seabiscuit", "Nadine", "The Morning After", "Texasville", "Rancho Deluxe" and "White Squall". Give this man an Oscar already!

The Dude is my favorite, but he was one creepy bastard in The Vanishing.

If you want to see real creepiness, do yourself a favor and rent the original.

Not to mention it had the balls to stay true to itself and not cop out with a BS Hollywood ending.

I chose The Fisher King. While Lebowski was a "flashier" role, he did much more impressive work grounding Gilliam's film in real human emotion.

Runners up would be Cutter's Way and The Last Picture Show.

I refused to see the Hollywood remake. It just doesn't exist to me.

I also voted for Baker Boys, knowing full well that Lebowski would win this poll handily.

The Dude at 26....well guess it's easy to see it's the fav for sure. Didn't think it'd be THIS slanted. I mean the others didn't get much love.
