Keanu Reeves Movies

Want to know the best Keanu Reeves movies?  How about the worst Keanu Reeves movies?  Curious about Keanu Reeves’ box office grosses or which Keanu Reeves movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Keanu Reeves movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

Since we started up this website in March of 2015 we have tried to publish a new movie page every three or four days….rotating between classic performers and current performers.  Well Monday… we published a page on Anthony Perkins so it was time to do a current performer.  So I looked in my request notebook and saw many classic performers but only Elizabeth Banks in the current performer request list.  Well as I was trying to decide if I should do a Banks page or not….we got word that the matriarch of my wife’s family was not doing so well and an emergency trip to Alabama was required this weekend.  So while frantically packing for our 1600 mile weekend trip I decided I would have to pick somebody that I already had most of their movies in my database already.  A quick check showed that I already had 37 of Keanu Reeves’ movies in my database.  So with that knowledge…we are ready for our next movie page…..sorry Elizabeth Banks….at this time we are looking at the movie career of Keanu Reeves.

  1. Hey is so cute and gets very little credit as an actor. So I am very glad to see you give him some attention. Love this work. Do have a similar page for River Phoenix?

    1. Hey IreneT34….. I will take your word for how cute he is……but I do agree that he is under rated as an actor. I currently do not have a River Phoenix page but I might do one in the future.

    1. Hey Bern1960. 7 is a decent tally count. Yes I did not personal information….. I checked it out but it was somewhat sad so I did not include it. Thanks as always for stopping by and commenting.

  3. Whoa indeed! Nice work ranking Mr. Cool Breeze Over the Mountain’s filmography Bruce. Good to see The Matrix at the top of the moviescore and critics chart, my favorite of his films. I also liked Speed. His transition from the Bill and Ted doofus to action movie star surprised many and he is effective in those action films. Keanu was the weak link in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, miscast as an English solicitor. He was good as John Wick and I hear it’s getting a sequel. I’ve seen 23 of the 42 films you’ve listed. Voted Up!

    1. I agree with you about his transition from doofus to action hero… I thought the first Matrix was awesome, second was okay, third was awful…. My tally count is 30 out of 42. It’s amazing how John Wick has such a following already…. Looking forward to John Wick 2… Hope he doesn’t have a pet this time…. As always, appreciate your comments.

    1. Hey Jarvy…….thanks for the visit. Speed is a great action film. Parenthood is filled with so many great performances. That little boy grew up to be Joaquin Phoenix.
