The Best Russell Crowe Performances So Far

By Martin Higgins


One of the better actors around these days is Russell Crowe. If he is starring in a film, you can probably assume that it will, at the very least, end up being an enjoyable movie. He seems to have his pick of the litter when it comes to choosing roles, and I personally like almost every movie he has ever starred in.

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 movie that I definitely feel is worth mentioning is 3:10 To Yuma. In this movie, Russell Crowe plays an outlaw who is captured and is being transferred to get sent off to jail. The only problem is his posse isn't going to let that happen so easy. Action ensues.

Of course, it goes without saying that any list of Russell Crowe films would have to include Gladiator. This is easily my favorite film of his, and with good reason. It came as little surprise that this film won the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year.

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.
