- Bugsy. Released a year after Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas,” this meaty portrait of Jewish American mobster Benjamin Siegel (as the film memorably reminds us, nobody calls him “Bugsy” to his face) is as juicy and satisfying as a good steak — and arguably the greatest role of Beatty’s career.
- Bonnie and Clyde. One of the all-time most influential and revolutionary movies of the American cinema, “Bonnie and Clyde” has lost much of its edge with time, mostly as other filmmakers — from Terrence Malick’s “Badlands” to the Lonely Island’s “Shy Ronnie” sketch — have taken its innovations and polished them through re-use.
- Reds. A sprawling three-hour homage to the unsung American heroes of the Russian Revolution, “Reds” is about as unlikely a success as Hollywood has seen during Beatty’s lifetime (it was nominated for 12 Oscars, but lost the big one to “Chariots of Fire”).
- Shampoo. Beatty began his career with one of the all-time great acting debuts, starring as a hunky small-town mouth-breather who “ruins” a prim young woman in “Splendor in the Grass” (1961), but it was his role as a Hollywood hairdresser who seduces most of his female clients (plus one of their daughters, played by an underage Carrie Fisher) that cemented his image as Tinseltown’s No. 1 rake.

- Bulworth

2016’s Rules Don’t Apply was billed as Beatty’s comeback. Released fifteen years after his last acting role (and eighteen after his last directorial effort), the Howard Hughes biopic saw Beatty directly commenting on Hollywood and the film industry for the first time. Oddly both subversive and nostalgic, audiences weren’t entirely sure what to make...
Beatty’s 1978 directorial debut came just as New Hollywood had begun turning its eyes towards blockbusters, with Jaws, Star Wars, and Superman marking a transition towards the commercialization of American cinema in the ‘80s. But it was still a time where a screwball comedy crowd pleaser like Heaven Can Wait could be one of the year’s top grossing ...
Beatty had been largely absent from the screen throughout the box office renaissance of the 1980s. After the universal acclaim for Reds in 1981, his only subsequent screen role was in the notorious 1987 box office disaster Ishtar. Returning in full force with an attempt to launch his own franchise, Beatty crafted a stylized interpretation of the cl...
Beatty has never masked his politics, and decided to tackle a mirage of hot button issues in the late Bill Clinton era. Bulworthpulls an interesting twist on the political satire. Billed and seemingly formatted as an inspirational crowd pleaser, the film leans in a far more cynical direction as it goes on and the prospects of actual progress dwindl...
Reds is Beatty’s masterpiece. His more confident second effort behind the camera saw him fearlessly tackle a 195-minute epic with a broad scope and personal touch. A decade-spanning story loaded with insights and commentary could easily feel either self-important or bloated, but Beatty’s effective direction makes Redsfeel alive. Characters are gran...

- McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The genius of Robert Altman at the midpoint of his greatest film run, had the cinematic joy of uniting his unique vision with the acting talents of Warren Beatty and Julie Christie.
- Bulworth. It’s a shame that whenever there is a discussion, article, list, or anything concerning the great films of the '90s, that Bulworth is left out.
- Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde marked a before and after in Hollywood. Arthur Penn's 1967 production depicting the notorious Depression-era criminal couple was one of the most violent and bold mainstream films of its time.
