Bruce Willis
made some truly great films
and a lot of bad ones
NOTES
The great films starring Bruce Willis are PULP FICTION, DIE HARD, and UNBREAKABLE. I don’t think I ever saw LOOPER, but I should. I only saw THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES once when it was first on VHS, and I loved it. I need to watch that again and try to figure out why that film is so low on people’s lists.
I often think of Bruce Willis as a guy who could not pick a good script, but he surely picked a few truly great ones. I think maybe he got lost when he tried to stretch — he’s best when he plays himself, and, unfortunately, it may be true that scripts that fit Bruce Willis playing himself are not that good. Bruce was fortunate to be cast as Butch in PULP FICTION, because Tarantino wrote the role for Matt Dillon who turned it down.
