Top 10 Kurt Russell Performances

[@animationdeviation4294]

This guy always delivers. Arguably the most underrated actor of his generation and the best Wyatt Earp ever.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

By FAR the best kid actor of his generation. The kid had charisma.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

Dan--Are you a Used Cars fan?

[@danielfronc4304]

Dr Joey Absolutely 1000% percent. I'm just tired but that was one his very best (ie. Top 3). Noooo argument there. Another phenomenal KR performance.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

When that picture came out I was a film booker. I got a radiator cap in the mail from Columbia. I called a couple other bookers I knew and they'd got a gas cap and a dipstick or something. Columbia should have used that much imagination promoting the flick to the general public. What a picture! I highly recommend you get the DVD with commentary track. Kurt, Bob Zemeckis, and Bob Evans, are well-lubed right from the start.

[@danielfronc4304]

Dr Joey Sounds like great advice, I'll definitely do it since I don't have the DVD in my rather extensive library. My favorite KR performances are, in order: 1) Big Trouble in Little China ("son of a bitch must pay", "If I'm not back in 10 minutes, call the President", 2) 3000 miles to Graceland 3) Tombstone, for which he was born. Runner up is The Thing as I grew up watching the original with James Arness. I enjoy all his performances but the comic and action ones I like best.

[@braddorcas9363]

Guy has basically never had a bad role. What a legend.

[@BalderBorador]

Totally agree but why do they keep forgetting about, "Used Cars"? I think I would have at least squeezed in The Hateful Eight

[@candaceu3157]

Kurt Russell is one of the most versatile actors and one of my faves!!

[@veralenora7368]

Showed part of " 'Ol Yeller" movie to classes to encourage reading the book. (Something I did regularly ....) Kids could NOT believe this was the same guy who starred in "Escape from New York". Also, several other movies he starred in as adult: Shock. Retired librarian, MI / US

[@kuvasz5252]

One of the few actors (along with Jeff Bridges), who can do dramatic rolls as well as comedic, and as the saying goes "Dying is easy, comedy is hard."

[@tigerclaw8775]

Kurt Russell is one my favorites too! He reminds me a lot of another one of my favs Harrison Ford cuz he has legendary roles too!

[@keithclayton1271]

2021 John Carpenter's "The Thing" still the greatest horror movie ever. Kurt Russell is awesome in everything he does.

[@javiermxnirvana1200]

[@franceswright8155]

Kurt Russell's Elvis was and is the best ever. Nobody will ever be able to do it better than Kurt Russell.

[@mrmrgaming]

One of the most underused and underrated actors ever, able to turn his hand to anything....and be great at it. Shocked they missed the info that Snake Plissken was the inspiration for Metal Gear Solids Snake.

[@dwaynetmdy07]

[@bothellkenmore]

+Mark Reed He and Jodie Foster are probably the best to come from the Disney system.

Between the two, I was terribly torn. Of course, Kurt could do a basket weaving documentary and I would still watch!

[@ezioauditoredafirenze8352]

L B Totally agreed

[@jackigoon6168]

He & Goldie were together for what 30yrs?!? Doesn't seem he really cares about the sparke spotlight bullshit. He's just Kurt. Name a film of his where he didn't seem to be having a blast "working".

[@HamanKarn567]

He was amazing in Tombstone.

[@moviemetalhead]

I agree, but Val Kilmer very slightly over shadowed him with his brilliant Doc Holiday.

[@HamanKarn567]

***** For sure they both were great but Val went all out with his role. Really good movie.

[@ninjalo3752]

+moviemetalhead Kilmer didn't slightly over shadow Russel. He stole that movie straight up from the WHOLE cast. "I'm your huckleberry." "You're no daisy, you're no daisy at all." "I have not yet begun to defile myself.: Etc. Really Doc Holliday was so well written and Kilmers acting was spot on, he was just going to over shadow the rest of the cast.

[@moviemetalhead]

+NinjaLo I agree to an extent, but didn't want to take away from Russel's performance. His portrayal of Wyatt Earp was leagues better than Kevin Costner's.

[@theHardyMonster1984]

Holliday was Kilmer's best performance in a movie, period.

[@CarnorJast1138]

His role in Tombstone as Wyatt Earp was absolutely amazing! I'm not one for Westerns, but this IS my most favorite Western film, and Kurt is the main reason why! Such an incredible role! Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China was his most off-beat role, but once again, he delivered the goods like no one could! Another pinnacle role by the great himself! Many will always know him as "Plissken......call me Snake". Escape from New York is a classic, and Snake is one of those roles, much like John McClain in Die Hard, that could've only been done by one actor, and Kurt nailed it! Then there's MacReady, from The Thing. Now, this was a role that I personally didn't think he could pull off when I went to see it in the theaters back in 1982. When it was over, I was a complete Kurt Russell fan, and have been to this day! MacReady was an every-man character, not some swashbuckling hero type. He could get scared, he could get angry, but he also knew what he had to do, and he did it SOOOO well! Kurt Russell is one fantastic character actor, and really has not made a bad movie, or at the very least, HE was not bad in whatever movie he made!

[@magikp6636]

Well said!

[@chuckd.7048]

Took my wife to Tombstone, Loved it!

[@elfsieben1450]

Tango and Cash is such a bad movie, yet Kurt Russell came out of it unharmed, that's how good an actor he is.

[@balladofthebroken7569]

@@chuckd.7048 Kurt is a true man’s man. Tombstone is still one of my favorite westerns - amazing dialogue & characters.

[@truthbetold7718]

He's also a great director/producer, he basically did both of those roles in Tombstone so he's a true triple threat.

[@saber3315]

"Soldier" was by far one of his best! It's said Walt Disney said Kurt Russel was going to be one of the greatest actors of our time.

[@saber3315]

@ First, Thank You for your service! I too served in the 70's and your 100 percent right. They do remold you so to speak.We had a guard dog for the home and business "military" style training and I thought the similarity was pretty close. Stay safe, take care of your love ones. We'll make it through this too!

[@HQBergeron]

Soldier was a great opportunity for Kurt to show acting skills on a serious role with very little dialogue on his part. And lots of action! I loved it. On the other end of the spectrum of roles, Captain Ron was one of my favorite comedies of all time. Kurt covered a lot of range between these two roles.

To this day, I still think Death Proof is one of Kurt's most underrated performances. He is so freakin' good in the movie. The entire sequence from the moment he shows up at the roadside bar until the part out on the road halfway through is some of the best acting I've seen from Kurt in his career. Naturally The way this list went is exactly how it should be. Glad to see Death Proof on here.

[@PredatoryPrey]

Takes a hell of an actor to play a character like Todd, to show no emotion through most of the movie, yet you can still feel it even as his face remains stoic as stone.

Just a note, Russell is in a documentary called " The Battered Bastards of Baseball.". Kurt played minor league baseball. His dad, Bing Russell, was an actor and a baseball coaching whisperer. After Bing retired he bought a minor league team. Kurt was a V.P. and a player. This docu is more like a movie about an underdog sports team that beats everyone. It premiered to a standing ovation at Sundance in 2014. Truly an exceptional story, with Kurt. Definitely watch if you have the opportunity.

[@ThaCho23nJuan]

Kurt Russell is the F'in man! I saw every single movie he was in and H8teful eight was the shit!

[@KenHollowayshow]

I've been enjoying Kurt Russel films my whole life, and he is a super talented and highly under rated actor. I've also heard he's a hell of a guy and a classical libertarian (as opposed to a socialist). I agree with some of the other comments that Used Cars should have at least got a mention, if not a ranking. Dreamer was great, and I really liked Tequila Sunrise. His rendition of Elvis' Such a Night is sublime (like better than the original). I look forward to many more great performances.

[@DavidHernandez-ug9gb]

Next to Snake Plisscan, Stuntman Mike is my favorite Kurt Russell performance

[@PaulZink]

Stuntman Mike is hard to beat, yes.

[@rev.j.rogerallen9328]

The Thing was great but for me #1 will always be Tombstone. Also no mention of "Used Cars". I loved that performance.

[@codyjones1098]

Kurt can do almost anything he wants! You steals ever scene he is in.

[@michaelberry1382]

codyjones109 exactly. If he’s in a movie- there’s a 95% chance I like it. Plus he just seems to be so “human” when you see him in interviews or even how he impromptu interacts with paparazzi at an airport or anything. plus you gotta love how long he and Goldie have been together and how Kate Hudson calls him dad. The guy just seems to have lived a good honest clean life and doesn’t really let it go to his head.

[@joseg859]

Kurt Russell for star-lords father !

[@CassDaMan1138]

+Jose G (Joe) THAT...would be amazing.

[@LordVader1094]

That would be utterly glorious

[@danielmashanic5738]

I can't even describe how great that'd be! Haha.

[@susiedupuy9532]

+Jose G (Joe) best suggestion I've ever seen on the internet.

[@kyle1137]

+Jose G (Joe) Looking More and More Likely. That would be the Greatest Casting Ever

[@adambrousseau2682]

I always loved him in backdraft

[@sueb7496]

super movie

[@laineyt3969]

his character was heart breaking (in the best way) in that film.

[@bryanjensen2614]

I've seen The Thing probably 50 times and it's never gotten old. Russel owns this flick.

[@francoisdubois80]

It's all in the reflexes.

[@mangalius9345]

The prison escape scene in tango and cash was epic

[@montylc2001]

Aw c'mon!!!! Not one mention of "Used Cars"????? that one is a classic!!!

[@Ecliptor.]

this guy is good even in bad movies

[@TheVagolfer]

You missed it............Used Cars. Funniest and best performance.

[@rodneyhull9764]

brilliant but overlooked film. his best imho

[@sueb7496]

he was very funny in that one!

[@kendiscoboy]

TheVagolfer totally agreed, a crackup of a flick

[@devonmask5192]

Few could talk faster and funnier than Rudy Russo

[@289cobra9]

That's just too Fucking High!

[@charlesmyers6417]

Tombstone is my favorite Kurt Russell movie. I own a copy of that one. I never watched the movie Elvis he stared in, but that movie looked good.

[@tradehead]

A class act and a damn nice guy. Good for you Kurt!

[@yocland8841]

tradehead I'm sure he's gonna shithis britches when he finds out mojo.com did a honorable mention on him

[@raziel4235]

Fuck yeah baby MacReady is his best role ever.

[@herbbluntman2287]

Some more great Kurt movies in no particular order: "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", "The Best of Times", "Overboard", "Captain Ron", and "Used Cars".

[@smartyjones7459]

Herb... Actually "the Hateful Eight" came out only two weeks before this video was published... so I concede that is why the movie did not make the list... although it is one of my favorites...

[@ronoakes1131]

Apple Jack ...

[@waltsears]

Herb Bluntman definitely Overboard!

[@johnrobinson5156]

No mention of Quanto in 2nd season of Lost in Space. Kurt was a chieftains son, challenging Will Robinson for dominance, and lost to superior intellect.

[@TheSharter]

loved Capt. Ron

[@conniethesconnie]

Would lie to know how they missed that one. For a lot of people that is Kurt Russel at his smart ass best.

[@Zayrina]

Absolutely loved Capt. Ron!

[@dwalker399]

After seeing Capt. Ron. I wanted to be Capt. Ron! Just Great.

[@mythicalhalo4332]

Sons Of Arkham I was watching the trailer for it and I found this

[@joshneves1759]

Sons Of Arkham ive seen captain ron a million times never gets old
