Loved Brad Pitt in F1? Watch These 10 Must-See Performances on OTT Platforms
1) Fight Club (Disney+, Hulu, Max)

Pitt made Tyler Durden the guy people still quote when they feel trapped in boring jobs and empty shopping habits. He sells soap and builds an army of angry men who punch each other in basements just to feel alive again. The final scene where buildings drop shows how far Tyler’s plan goes.
Pitt does not play Tyler like some loud rebel. Pitt gives Tyler a sharp edge—calm words hiding wild plans that linger long after. Every punch lands because he looks like he wants you to feel it for days.
2) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Netflix, Paramount+)

Tarantino’s old Hollywood dream works because Pitt makes Cliff Booth feel real without big speeches. Cliff drives Rick Dalton home, fixes his messes, and sits with his dog when nothing else happens. He looks like he could knock out a stunt double or sit by the pool for hours.
Pitt won his first acting Oscar for Cliff because he keeps him cool but dangerous. When the Manson Family tries their luck, Cliff turns the calm vibe into chaos that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
3) Moneyball (Netflix, AMC+)

Pitt’s Billy Beane never swings a bat, yet the stakes feel tense when he trades players like poker chips. He uses math to fix a team that can’t match the Yankees’ money and argues with old scouts who hate change. He flips chairs and eats stale snacks during long calls.
You don’t see slow-motion home runs. You watch Pitt push numbers as if they are the only way to win. He sells the risk of caring about stats by making Beane stubborn enough to bet it all on base hits.
4) Inglourious Basterds (Paramount+, fuboTV, Starz; Prime rental)

Pitt’s Aldo Raine talks about Nazi scalps like he’s telling a campfire story. He smiles widely while giving ugly orders that should sound colder but somehow don’t. He does not hide behind fancy guns; he just wants trophies for his small squad.
His thick drawl makes Raine feel rough and funny at once. When the basement bar plan falls apart or the theater explodes, Raine stays ready to joke or threaten someone new. Pitt gives him a wild edge that sticks in your head.
5) Se7en (Max)

Detective Mills shows up too eager to fix a city that keeps spitting filth back at him. Pitt plays him loud and restless next to Somerset’s calm old cop. Mills tries to stand tough when each crime gets worse, but the box at the end breaks him for good.
The line about the box lasts because Pitt yells it like his world just ended. He makes Mills feel young and wired up enough to think good still wins, but the case leaves him stuck in the darkest truth.
6) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Paramount+; Prime rental)

Benjamin Button grows backward while the people he loves grow old and drift away. Pitt never makes Benjamin feel fake; he keeps him gentle while the world rushes past. He sails into war, sits in jazz clubs, and watches his time run out in reverse.
When Benjamin leaves Daisy, he does it softly because he knows time will not stay kind. Pitt’s calm voice makes Benjamin feel small but steady. He never pushes big tears, just lets the idea of shrinking stick with you.
7) Ocean’s Eleven (Netflix)

Rusty Ryan eats in almost every scene because Pitt wanted him to do normal stuff while running a huge con. He stands behind Danny Ocean, but you feel Rusty pulling strings when no one else can. He flips cards and nods when the vault job needs fixing.
Rusty does not punch people or wave guns. He just keeps the crew calm while the casino falls apart around them. Pitt’s quiet style makes you root for a thief who barely lifts a finger yet owns half the job.
8) War Machine (Netflix)

General McMahon thinks he can win over a broken country with meetings and TV spots, but the mess keeps spreading. Pitt holds his back stiff and his voice tight like a man who talks in orders even when no one listens. He tries to rally troops with slogans.
He looks strong in front of the cameras but small behind them. Pitt never mocks him outright; he shows how pride makes him miss what is right in front of him. The fake pep wears thin fast, and that makes it sting.
9) Troy (Prime Video, Max; rental)

Achilles wants his name to live forever, so he charges into every fight like he does not feel fear. Pitt trains until he moves like a blade swinging through men who never touch him. He kills Hector, then drags him because pride eats him more than hate.
When he stands at Troy’s gate, he looks up daring arrows to drop him. Pitt’s cold stare keeps Achilles sharp but human enough to bleed. He makes the old myth feel mean and huge again with every strike.
10) Bullet Train (Netflix)

Ladybug wants a simple job so he can breathe easy, but every stop turns into another fight. Pitt talks about his bad luck over the phone while smashing people with luggage. He worries about therapy while knives fly past his head on the speeding train.
He does not look like a hero, he looks tired and done with killing. Pitt’s easy grin turns bloody scraps into slapstick. He makes Ladybug fun to follow even when chaos breaks bones and flips cars inside that metal bullet.
