Favorite Michael Keaton Film

My Life is not in the poll? I thought My Life was an excellent film. I watched it many times before eliminating my VHS collection (I haven't upgraded it to DVD). I have not seen all of Michael Keaton's films, but I've liked everyone I've seen. I had my doubts that he could pull off Batman when they announced he was cast, but he is still my favorite actor to have played the role.

The only correct answer to this is Beetlejuice.

One of his movies that I thought he did a really good job in was My Life. He plays a married man who is dying of cancer while his wife is pregnant. During the movie he makes home videos where he talks to his unborn child giving life advice.

Nightshift (1982) is a major omission imo.



Clean and Sober would be my pick over all though, which is another odd omission.

I agree with the guy who was banned after 35 posts (hope liking Batman movies wasn't what got him banned).

I am a fan of his

My favourite of his is Night Shift, an underrated comedy if you ask me. I also like his portrayal of Batman/Bruce Wayne, Beetlejuice, and despite the movie overall isn't very good, he's generally creepy in Pacific Heights.

Another Night Shift fan, he was funny as hell in that one

That movie, along with Raw Deal, introduced me to The Rolling Stones.

Whilst numerous will find themselves jumping up and down sporadically as if they were Tom Cruise on the Oprah Winfrey Show regarding Tim Burton's Batman movies, I am contrasting of that perspective. The movies were some of my favorites whenever I was younger, I absolutely adored the atmosphere constructed, and thoroughly enjoyed the movies, but to me, looking past the nostalgic aspects, in comparison to The Dark Knight or even Batman Begins, the flaws are strongly detectable. However, I did always fondly look about at Michael Keaton's performance. He was, and is still probably the keeper of my favorite performance of the caped crusader because he actually seems like he could be Batman, and that was mostly because of his performance as Bruce Wayne.

Clean and Sober
Jackie Brown

Beetlejuice.

Yeah, I don't see how anyone can argue he wasn't at his best in CLEAN AND SOBER. He also had a hilarious guest spot on FRASIER. He's a magnificent actor who doesn't get the quality work he deserves.

From this list definitely Beetlejuice!

Out of Sight is my favorite film in which he appears.

He had me at Night Shift

No doubt Beetlejuice and Batman. I also thought he was funny in The Other Guys.

Always rated this guy, although I haven't seen many of his films. I remember Clean and Sober, he made the act of smoking cigarettes look super cool in that movie.

I, too, was shocked by the omission of CLEAN AND SOBER from the list...it is easily Keaton's best performance and he should have received an Oscar nomination for it.

He was funny in Jack Frost.
