Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Keanu Reeves has been working in film and television for many years, but the movies that defined Reeves' career have all been standout projects that illustrate his talent. As one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Reeves has a significant pull at the box office and made his name in some of the most popular action franchises of the past several decades.
8 Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Reeves' breakout role and enduring comedy Close Based on the sequels in the Bill & Ted franchise, it's clear that this low-budget teen comedy from the late 1980s was never meant to be forgotten. Reeves stars as Ted alongside Alex Winter as Bill, and the young actors play hilariously bumbling high schoolers who use time travel to pass their finals.
However, today, it's considered a classic of the New Queer Cinema movement and has been extremely influential in independent filmmaking. Reeves and Sandra Bullock would go on to star in several other films together, but Speed is one of their most memorable, as it was enormously popular at the box office. In a plot that's essentially an extended chase scene, Speed finds several innovative ways to keep the audience on the edge of their seats until the very end. The stakes are continuously raised throughout the story and the plot twists are just incredible enough to be believed, which is the fine line every action movie walks.
After the initial trilogy, The Matrix Resurrections was released to poor reviews and reception, but this failure could be good for The Matrix 5. Reboots and updated adaptations of franchises have become tired in recent years, but the initial movies will never be forgotten. The Matrix didn't just make Reeves a standout in the sci-fi genre, it also developed a complex world that inspired the look and feel of dystopian movies of the early 2000s.
