.
The Last Picture Show (1971): This film
Bridges Peter Bogdanovich began to show that it was much more than "son" (his father was actor Lloyd Bridges
). The movie is a story about two friends from Texas who are taking their first steps into adulthood. Oscar-nominated actor.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
(1974): Jeff
here again demonstrate his charisma to share the limelight head to head with Clint Eastwood
. Its colorful paper irresponsible thief, the more experienced partner
Eastwood, earned a new nomination for Supporting Actor. Directed by Michael Cimino
.

. Bridges
was the title character, an alien who comes to Earth and takes the form of the deceased husband of a woman (Karen Allen
). Nominated for Best Actor.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988): In this entertaining and very well made film
Bridges Francis Coppola made of Preston Tucker, a designer car who tried to confront the priests automovolística industry in the late 40's. Another great characterization in which Bridges
contagious enthusiasm of the character itself.
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989): at this point, almost a classic. For the first time Jeff
acted with his brother Beau
. And just like in real life, he was the brother fachero and talented, this story of two living pianists who know a singer who changes their lives (
Michelle Pfeiffer).
The Fisher King (1991): One of the more even films of Terry Gilliam
.
Bridges made of Jack Lucas, a successful radio host one day fall from grace and ends up befriending a homeless half nuts (
Robin Williams). Bridges
was great, but the Oscar nomination was for Williams
. And good ...
The Vanishing (1993), showing his acting range,
Bridges played here a chemistry teacher responsible for the disappearance of a girl (Sandra Bullock
). Kiefer Sutherland
groom did that, years later, still trying to figure out what had happened. A major role of
Bridges, twisted and dark.
Fearless (1993): Cutting film Peter Weir
existentialist where Jeff
plays a man who survives a plane crash and can not help feeling that his life will never be the same. Among other things, engages with another survivor who lost her young son. The naturalness of
Bridges make the character much more than a walking self-help manual.
The Big Lebowski (1998): What more can you say about the genius of the Coen

Bridges. The Dude Lebowski
is undoubtedly one of the great works of cinema, and another example of the versatility of this actorazo.
Iron Man (2008), and had to be. This film is a pipe. And
Bridges does more to contribute to his role as Obadiah Stane

partner Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr
) which then become your enemy. A villain who has no fool.
