What are your favourite top ten movies that Keanu Reeves has appeared in?


-https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000206/

I've seen him in (best to worst):
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
The Matrix
The Animatrix
Constantine
Speed
Thumbsucker
Matrix Revolutions
Matrix Reloaded

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I don't think I like Keanu Reeves himself, but I like his taste in films. Bill and Ted (the first one) and John Wick 2 are both awesome.

Here are my fav shots from Keanu films:

The Matrix

The heroes are cornered into the wall itself. The composition (dominated by empty black space on either side) does a lot to express how trapped they are. Plus, the fact that they are hiding between the walls speaks to The Matrix's themes about reality versus perception.

John Wick 2

John Wick has this weird almost-fantasy setting where hidden organizations shoot each other out right under our noses. This shot in particular gets that across in a single image. Some people use this hallway to access parts of a shopping mall; John Wick uses it as just another arena.

The Matrix trilogy and Animatrix, plus Speed. I've seen a few other movies starring him but not many. They don't really appeal to me, but John Wick seems like it might be okay.

He played John the Bastard in Kenneth Branagh's iteration of 'Much Ado About Nothing'. It was an odd casting choice. I like Keanu Reeves as an actor, but the guy can't do a British accent. And it isn't a one-off thing--------they got him to play Harker in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', too. He doesn't sound British, he sounds like Ted reciting his idiot love profession to the princess in 'Bogus Journey'. Why do this.

Anyway. I like the first two Matrix flicks a lot. Don't remember which parts of 'Animatrix' he was in. 'Speed' was good. 'Constantine' was okay (I've heard it's a crummy adaptation of the comic----------my basic stance is I don't care how faithful adaptations are to the source material). The Bill and Ted flicks are great fun (the first two, I mean. Keep forgetting there's a third one now).

^ It was more of a cameo in Animatrix, really.

Oh, right. Neo saves the annoying dorkball kid who then winds up following him around like a puppy in 'Reloaded'.
