what is your favorite Christian Bale movie?

[Morbach]

Yes,I deliberatley left The Dark Knight and Batman Begins out. They're obviously his best movies and so I didn't want to count them. I want to see which one wins of the few I've mentioned. I personally had to go with 3:10 To Yuma. Great movie.

The Machinist b/c imo this film truly shows his dedication to being an actor. No matter how big of a star he is, he still remembers his roots which is indi films

I liked him best in The Prestige. Especially the closing scene with Jackman.

 

[usswanker]

The Prestige is by far my favorite. Then after that its Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

He is the most dedicated actor by far. I love that movie! when he goes off at the end in the dinner thinking everyone is messing with him he's amazing!

 

[Batty]

Empire of the Sun

they could have easily found a double to do the sewer scene but Bale insisted of doing it himself, despite the place being infested with rats and cochroaches This dude rocks

... he even lost alot of weight for this movie ...

Of that lot, I definitely have to say The Prestige. By far one of the better, more cynical, sinister films I've seen in recent years, and with a sterling cast to match.

I popped into this thread just out of curiousity because I'm not the biggest Bale fan but then I saw The Prestige. Haven't watched that in a while....

If you haven't already, check out the book. It's significantly different and uniquely disturbing! Christopher Priest is the author.

I picked rescue dawn. I was completly engrossed in that film. i didnt blink for the entire movie.

 

[Reinhardt]

prestige is my favorite, but machinist was brilliant, and so was 3:10 to yuma. and ofcourse american psycho - my favorite scene being the exchange of the business cards.

i voted for prestige, but it was a difficult one!

 

[Jen]

Tough, tough choice...I LOVE them all. Went and voted for American Psycho...though it really was a tie between that and The Machinist and 3:10 to Yuma, and The Prestige and Rescue Dawn....and Empire of the Sun.....I can't choose!

 

[plasmid303]

Bale ROCKS, alleged attitude and all.

I voted for The Prestige, because while I liked his performance in a couple other movies more, I enjoyed The Prestige foremost.

 

[Hulksmashed]

Equilibrium is by far the best in that list.

 

[Morbach]

wow I didn't think that 3:10 to yuma would get that whooped!

 

[King Darkness]

Harsh Times

American Psycho was the perfect portrayal of mania, I know.
