“Justice Is A Non-Corrosive Metal!”
DreamWorks’ animated gem Megamind is a better superhero what-if scenario than any of the episodes of Marvel’s What If...?. It imagines what would happen if Superman’s arch-nemesis succeeded in defeating him. Pitt plays the Superman stand-in, Metro Man, a spot-on spoof of the Superman mythos. When Metro Man confronts Megamind in his nefarious trap, he tells him, “You can’t trap justice! It’s an idea – a belief!” Megamind retorts, “Even the most heartfelt belief can get corroded over time!” and...
“I Am Just A Good Samaritan.”
The Coen brothers’ farce Burn After Reading is one of the duo’s most underappreciated movies. It marked a goofy change of pace after the Coens’ Oscar-winning neo-western No Country for Old Men, but it has one of Pitt’s funniest performances as gym employee Chad Feldheimer.

“And Some People Dance.”
After the twisty psychological thrillers Se7en and Fight Club, Pitt’s third collaboration with director David Fincher marked a drastic tonal shift. The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonis a heartfelt drama about a man who ages backwards. In his poignant final monologue, Benjamin sums up what he learned throughout his truly unique life: “Some people were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Sha...
“It’s Not For Me, It’s For Me Ma.”
After his stellar debut Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie bolstered his unique reinvention of the British crime film with Snatch. Jason Statham stars as Turkish, a failing promoter, and Pitt plays Mickey O’Neil, the bare-knuckle boxer he wants to recruit for an upcoming fight. When Turkish and his partner Tommy first offer the fight to Mickey, he says he’ll do it for a caravan. They wonder why he wants another caravan when he already has a perfectly good one. Mickey clarifies,...
“You Know Somethin’, Utivich? I Think This Just Might Be My Masterpiece.”
The first Pitt performance directed by Quentin Tarantino was his turn as Lt. Aldo Raine, the Apache leader of the titular band of Nazi killers in Inglourious Basterds. One of the ways in which Aldo brutally punishes German soldiers is by carving a swastika into their forehead so they can never escape from their past atrocities. After carving one into Col. Hans Landa’s head in the finale, Aldo tells a nearby private, “You know somethin’, Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece.” The...
“Get Some Beer And Some Cleaning Products.”
While Inglourious Basterds was the first movie in which Tarantino directed Pitt, the actor first delivered Tarantino’s idiosyncratic dialogue in Tony Scott’s romantic crime thriller True Romance, drawn from an early Tarantino script. In the supporting role of Clarence’s actor friend Dick’s roommate, Floyd, Pitt spends all his scenes on the couch, getting high. When Dick leaves to arrange a Hollywood cocaine deal for Clarence, Floyd gives him a hilarious two-item shopping list: “Get some beer...
“What’s In The Box!?”
David Fincher’s grisly thriller Se7entransplants the tropes of a “buddy cop” movie into a horror context. Pitt stars alongside Morgan Freeman as, respectively, hotshot young Detective Mills, eager to crack his first case, and veteran cop Detective Somerset, on the brink of retirement. Mills and Somerset team up to track down a serial killer whose gruesome crimes take inspiration from the Bible.

“You Do Not Talk About Fight Club.”
While Cliff Booth offers strong competition, Fight Club’s Tyler Durden is arguably still Pitt’s most iconic role. The actor could fully let loose with the anarchy, because his character doesn’t really exist. Tyler’s most memorable line is his repetitive recital of the rules of the eponymous men’s club: “The first rule of Fight Clubis: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.” NEXT: 5 Reasons Cliff Booth Is Brad Pitt's Best Character...
