These are the rankings for the seven best comeback movies ever. Our picks include two movies from Quentin Tarantino and an action film from 2014.
Hollywood loves a good comeback. The industry that transforms actors and directors into giant stars will also facilitate their downfall. One mistake, and it’s back to the bottom of the heap. J.J. Abrams, a massively talented writer and director, has not directed a film since the reviled Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Taylor Kitsch has not had top billing in a movie since a pair of massive flops from 2012: John Carter and Battleship. The film industry can be ruthless and cutthroat.
Recommended Videos 7. Birdman Who doesn’t like Michael Keaton? The actor won over audiencesthanks to his charm and comedic timing in the 1980s with roles in Night Shift, Mr. Mom, and Beetlejuice. Keaton’s career reached new heights in 1989 when he starred as Bruce Wayne in Tim Burton’s Batman. Keaton’s stoic interpretation of the titular superhero in Batman and Batman Returns is considered one of the best portrayals of the caped crusader.
In 2014, Reeves starred in John Wick as the titular assassin, who returns to the criminal underworld to seek revenge on the thugs who stole his car and killed his dog. Backed by magnificent stunt work, John Wick was instantly beloved by action fans. The character was a return to form for Reeves, who thrives as a no-nonsense protagonist. Three John Wick movies later, Reeves is back on top of the action world, just like he was in 1999.5.
With nowhere to go but up, Affleck stepped behind the camera, making a decision that would shape the rest of his career. In 2007, Affleck directed and co-wrote Gone Baby Gone, a Boston crime thriller about a private detective’s search for a missing girl. The film was lauded by critics, who were impressed with Affleck’s terrific direction. Gone Baby Gone became step one of a three-part comeback. Step two was The Town, which proved Affleck could be a commercial director.
