BRADLEY COOPER’S TOP 10 MOVIES
“A Star Is Born” (2018):
As director, co-writer and star, Cooper pulled off an amazing feat by revitalizing one of the oldest tales in Hollywood history, casting himself as a music star on the downslide who falls for a singer on the rise (Lady Gaga). The stars’ duet “Shallow” earned an Oscar.
“American Sniper” (2014): Cooper does compelling, Oscarnominated work for director Clint Eastwood in the true story of Navy SEAL and expert shooter Chris Kyle.
“American Hustle” (2013): Sporting a notable hairstyle, Cooper reteamed with director David O. Russell on this excellent tale of a huge con job.
“Silver Linings Playbook” (2012): Cooper first became a member of the Oscar nominees club opposite Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence in Russell’s comedy-drama.
“The Place Beyond the Pines” (2012): Solid work by Cooper helps fuel this tale of a cop’s and a criminal’s (Ryan Gosling) crossed paths.
“Limitless” (2011): Proving he could hold a dramatic movie largely on his own, Cooper plays a writer whose brain power is expanded by a drug. (He also was involved in the television-series version on CBS.)
“The A-Team” (2010): Cooper does a fine job of rebooting Dirk Benedict’s television character nicknamed “Faceman,” one of several military renegades on the run from enemies and the law.
“Valentine’s Day” (2010):
As part of director Garry Marshall’s massive cast, Cooper has some charming moments as the airplane seatmate of a soldier (Julia Roberts) returning from duty.
“The Hangover” (2009): Cooper became a bona fide movie star in the raunchy comedy hit about several pals who “misplace” their soon-to-wed buddy during a wild Las Vegas spree.
“Wedding Crashers” (2005): Advancing his movie fortunes, Cooper plays the insensitive beau of a politician’s daughter (Rachel McAdams) being wooed by one of the crashers (Owen
Wilson).
