The poll speaks for itself... If you don't like the man's work, express your 1st amendment rights, but come on, there's gotta be one movie on this list you like Confused

*edit* Almost Forgot Pulp Fiction, Embarassed

I figured people would dog it too bad on this board... and once I voted I can't edit the poll options anymore... Neutral

Consider it a write in vote. Each person for 5th Element can just note their place in line with a number to keep an active tally for that one. Smile

Or... let it go...

I voted Sixth Sense because Bruce showed he could actually pull off subtlety.
edit: I'm dumb and took this poll as asking which was Bruce's best performance. Luckily for me, it's also my favorite Bruce Willis movie.

I think 12 Monkeys sucks, but I love "La Jetee."

Back to the question ... I'm torn between Die Hard and Pulp Fiction. I think I'll side with Die Hard, and take a Bruce Willis-centric approach.

Willis is the face of Die Hard and it's clearly the one movie you'd pick as the iconic role of his career. SLJ and Travolta are way ahead of him in Pulp Fiction.

Also, he was the lead in 16 Blocks which was a pretty good movie.

Is that because it's just a buch of stills?

I went to youtube and watched La Jetee, and gotta be honest, thought the same thing about the stills... Laughing

but I'll be honest, it's alot easier to saturate 28 minutes than it is 90, so short films have the advantage sometimes. I loved The Red Balloon when I saw it in 2nd grade, so I rented Le Voyage du Ballon Rouge, and passed out on it about halfway through, never to return. The Red Balloon still holds up though.

Very cool to see the source material though. Doesn't diminish the impression 12 Monkeys made when I saw it though. The performances of the actors made that movie for me.

And I'll argue that The Golden Watch was the centerpiece of Pulp Fiction as far as narrative goes, and chronologically it was the Climax and conclusion of the story, with the diner scene an epilogue, hence me acknowledging Bruce as a lead. I always saw him as the principal Anti-hero of the film. That's just me though Cool

I said Pulp Fiction just for that rape scene. No matter how much you hate a guy you can never leave him behind like that. I applaud every time i see that scene when he goes back in with the samurai sword.

I would've said Pulp Fiction, but I didn't feel he was the 'lead'.
