14. The Mule (2018)

 

 

This crime thriller is a Clint Eastwood show from beginning to end. The man performed the lead, Earl Stone, and directed the movie too. Bradley Cooper plays a pivotal role as DEA Agent Colin Bates.

 

Interesting artists like Cesar De León, Patrick L. Reyes, Adam Drescher, Richard Herd, and more notable names like Dianne Wiest and Taissa Farmiga add to the worth of the script.

20. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022)

 

 

Following the events that unravelled in Endgame, Love And Thunder and the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, our heroes are now hiding out in a place called Knowhere. Around this time, Christmas is coming and Kraglin the Xandarian shares an interesting, though heartbreaking, story of how the beauty of the season was ruined for Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord.

 

This prompts his team members and buddies Mantis and Drax to go to Earth and bring back something that will make Peter find happiness during Christmastime. But Earth is a strange place, especially for these two.

 

Soon, Mantis and Drax realize they might have bitten off more than they can chew.

 

 

21. Wet Hot American Summer (2001)

 

 

This is Cooper’s first movie. It isn’t a rom-com per se, but it does contain a good dose of both romantic and comedic elements. It is a sultry summer in 1981 and a bunch of young people are experiencing their last day at camp.

 

Plenty of unfinished business is on the roster for the camp’s counsellors, one of whom is Ben (played by Bradley Cooper). Camp Firewood certainly does not shy from the heat – the movie contains many a seductive scene.

 

But, strangest of all, is camp director Beth falling for a local astrophysics professor who, in turn, is trying to save the entire camp from a piece of debris hurtling down from NASA’s Skylab.

 

Talking vegetable cans, a deadly waterfall rescue, outcasts, and love triangles all blend into an exciting movie that ends with a talent show. Noteworthy artists like Janeane Garofalo, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Molly Shannon, David Hyde Pierce, Marguerite Moreau, Michael Showalter, Zak Orth, Amy Poehler, Marisa Ryan, and Elizabeth Banks add to the production’s fun-funny elements.

 

 

22. The Last Cowboy (2003)

 

 

This TV movie sees Bradley Cooper slipping into a Western. The story features a confident woman who, after eight years of being away, returns to her home in Texas to attend her grandfather’s funeral.

 

When she finally encounters her father, the proverbial brown stuff hits the fan. As a rancher, her father has toiled to maintain the property along with his friend and foreman.

 

But his estranged daughter showing her face again makes him realize just how angry he is at her for leaving in the first place. Differences of opinion and rising debt add to the tension in this plot.

 

Bradley Cooper plays Morgan Murphy. Talented artists like Jennie Garth, M. C. Gainey, Lance Henriksen, Muse Watson, Eugene Osment, and John Vargas contribute to this engaging Western movie.

 

 

23. Case 39 (2009)

 

 

Elements of horror and mystery are rife in this gripping Bradley Cooper movie that features a social worker who is hell-bent on saving a little girl from abusive parents. Before long, the woman (Emily Jenkins, played by Renée Zellweger) learns that there is more going on than meets the eye.

 

Cooper gives a curious performance as Doug along with amazing artists like Ian McShane, Callum Keith Rennie, Jodelle Ferland, Kerry O’Malley, Cynthia Stevenson, and Adrian Lester. This story proves that some cases are better left unopened.

 

 

24. He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)

 

 

This rom-com delivers several classic and at times cliched tropes that the genre is known for. The story is set in Baltimore and features interlinked arcs and plotlines that capture the nuances of human behaviour, particularly when situations are misunderstood.

 

Bradley Cooper plays a small role as Ben. Other amazing artists in this production are Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long, Ben Affleck, and Drew Barrymore.

 

Dating and disappointments are key themes in this script where disparate circumstances bring people together and later break them apart. Apparently, the art of reading subtle cues is not for everyone, as this story cleverly portrays.

 

 

25. New York, I Love You (2008)

 

 

A beautiful anthology of love stories comprising eleven different people living in NYC makes this movie feel heartwarming and memorable. Bradley Cooper plays Gus in the “Allen Hughes” segment. Superb artists like Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Christina Ricci, Orlando Bloom Andy Garcia, Rachel Bilson, Irrfan Khan, Ethan Hawke, Anton Yelchin, Blake Lively, Robin Wright, Chris Cooper, and James Caan further enrich the script.

 

Each of the eleven vignettes contained in this script pays homage to life in New York City. Theirs, and other side-stories, are neatly tied together into a moving series of NYC moments and memories.

 

 

26. I Want to Marry Ryan Banks (2004)

 

 

In this rom-com TV movie, Bradley Cooper plays one of the leads, namely Todd Doherty. Jason Priestley, Emma Caulfield Ford, Lauren Lee Smith, Nicole Oliver, Leah Cairns, and Mark L. Walberg make the movie more fun. Hollywood stardom, a failing movie career, and a reality dating show are key themes and elements in this engaging story about redemption, deception, and truth.

 

Todd secretly coaches his fame-chasing buddy on what to say and do during a major reality show. Todd’s inputs are shared over a miniature earpiece and help the contender become an audience favourite.

 

Guilt and morality play conflicting cards in this script that is not only about romance but also the essence of friendship.

 

 

27. The Rocker (2008)

 

 

This comedy takes fans back to the 80s music scene. It features a drummer named Robert “Fish” Fishman (played by Rainn Wilson) who is abandoned by his band, Vesuvius, only for that band to become super famous a short while later.

 

The drummer then sits through twenty years of regret before his teenage nephew finds himself in need of a musician to help make his high school rock band, A. D.D., a resounding success. Bradley Cooper plays a funny character named Trash along with other notable artists like Josh Gad, Christina Applegate, Emma Stone, Jane Lynch, Fred Armisen, Will Arnett, Jason Sudeikis, Jane Krakowski, and Aziz Ansari.

 

Cooper only plays a small role in this story, which is filled with plenty of comedy and relatable sentiments.

 

 

28. The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

 

 

Mysteries, thrills, and horrors pervade this intriguing story in which Bradley Cooper plays a character named Leon. Popular artists like Leslie Bibb, Tony Curran, Ted Raimi, Brooke Shields, Vinnie Jones, Roger Bart, and Barbara Eve Harris add to the suspense.

 

Bradley plays a photographer obsessed with dark topics, which sees him crossing paths with a serial killer. The murderer, nicknamed Mahogany, has already stalked and killed numerous night-time train commuters in such gruesome ways that someone has to stop the man at whatever cost.

 

Leon takes it upon himself to halt the murderous madness. His professional photo captures initially lead him to a missing woman. So when his observations and warnings go unheeded by the police, Leon uses his skills to covertly track the man he believes to be behind the train murders.

 

 

29. Hit and Run (2012)

 

 

Plenty of comedy, romance, and adventure enrich this story about an ex-getaway driver who risks his own Witness Protection identity because he wants to help his girlfriend reach LA. The Feds are desperate to get him back into protective custody, especially since his identity has been revealed, thus drawing the attention of the man’s former gang bosses.

 

Playing the notorious driver Charles Bronson, alias Yul Perkins, is Dax Shepard. Memorable performances come from stellar talents like Kristen Bell, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Arnold, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes.

 

Bradley Cooper plays an intriguing role in this script as Alex Dmitri.

 

 

30. Baby, Baby, Baby (2015)

 

 

Bradley Cooper plays a small role as Karl in this drama sprinkled with romance and comedy. Notable artists like Adrianne Palicki, Brian Klugman, Michaela Conlin, Bernard Curry, James Roday Rodriguez, and Kelsey Grammer add to the fun.

 

The movie contains a handful of interesting moments worth watching. The story features a struggling actor falling for an artiste who is way out of his league. He starts messing up his chances to impress the girl, what with his jealousy and paranoia often keeping him from expressing his love for her.

 

 

31. Valentine’s Day (2010)

 

 

As the title suggests, this movie is all about that lovey-dovey occasion celebrated each year on the fourteenth of February. The setting is Los Angeles and the plotline tracks the personal lives of couples and singles alike, who are poked and prodded by Cupid’s arrow instead of merely being struck by it.

 

The rom-com features amazing artists like Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Patrick Dempsey, Kathy Bates, Jessica Alba, Jamie Foxx, Hector Elizondo, Queen Latifah, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Taylor Lautner, and Shirley MacLaine.

 

Bradley Cooper plays a character named Holden.

 

 

32. Failure to Launch (2006)

 

 

Bradley Cooper plays Demo in this ‘okay’ rom-com about a successful man who still lives with his parents. His folks soon hire the services of an “interventionist” to help kick him out.

 

The plot involves a complex and roundabout romance angle designed to motivate the man to move out and live his life away from his folks. Matthew McConaughey gives a great performance as Tripp, the 35-year-old man in question.

 

Sarah Jessica Parker is amazing as the interventionist Paula. Other memorable artists in this production are Kathy Bates, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Bartha, Terry Bradshaw, Patton Oswalt, Katheryn Winnick, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Tyrel Jackson Williams.

 

 

33. Older Than America (2008)

 

 

Some captivating historical elements keep the plot taut in this drama about a Native-American woman who, led by strange visions, pursues the location of a residential school that purportedly holds dark secrets in need of resolution.

 

The story includes a catholic priest’s ill-gotten agenda to silence the mother, especially since she discovers proof of the atrocities committed in such boarding schools that were built exclusively to convert Native Americans and bring them into the fold of catholicism, by force if necessary.

 

Bradley Cooper plays Luke Patterson in this production. Adam Beach, Wes Studi, Chris Mulkey, Georgina Lightning, and Tantoo Cardinal fulfill important roles. Identity loss and cultural genocide are powerful themes in this movie.

 

 

34. My Little Eye (2002)

 

 

A horror-thriller with mystery tropes defines this movie featuring five people who are isolated in a mansion and asked to spend six months together. They are promised a reward of 1 million dollars if they manage to survive the ‘Big Boss’ style ordeal.

 

Adding to their angst is how their every move was being observed in real-time by cameras placed all over the property. Making matters worse is one of the core rules of the game: even if one person leaves the mansion, they’ll all lose the cash reward.

 

Sean Cw Johnson, Stephen O’Reilly, Jennifer Sky, Laura Regan, Kris Lemche, and Nick Mennell play important roles. Bradley Cooper as Travis Patterson is interesting to watch. The movie captures an all-too-human desire for fame and fortune.

 

Stilted morality and divisive secrets unravel in this Bradley Cooper movie.

 

 

35. Aloha (2015)

 

 

Done-to-death comedy tropes and under-written romance segments did this movie few favours, but it has its moments regardless. Bradley Cooper plays Brian Gilcrest along with great artists like Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, John Krasinski, Jaeden Martell, Danny McBride, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, and Edi Gathegi.

 

The story features a legendary military contractor who takes a trip down memory lane to visit his best career milestones – this includes the U. S. space program in Honolulu, Hawaii.

 

He falls in love with an old flame somewhere along the way. The really interesting part comes when he starts harbouring feelings for the Air Force professional assigned to him.

 

Cooper plays the lead in this movie and finds himself in an ‘okay’ love triangle with two women.

 

 

36. Serena (2014)

 

 

Bradley Cooper seamlessly blends into this historical romance drama in which he pairs up once more with the outstanding Jennifer Lawrence. The story contains more than a handful of interesting moments.

 

Noteworthy talents like Rhys Ifans, Toby Jones, Sean Harris, Sam Reid, Douglas Hodge, and Charity Wakefield play essential roles. The story is set in 1920s North Carolina and features a just-married couple, George and Serena Pemberton (played by Bradley and Jennifer, respectively).

 

They have plans to develop a timber empire. Serena, instead of being the quiet and reserved housewife, proves herself capable of running the show as well as anyone. A proud George supports her throughout.

 

When trouble comes calling and threatens to halt their dreams, the Pembertons have to rely on their love for one another and the joint ambition that promises a great future.

 

 

37. All About Steve (2009)

 

 

Despite checking all the right boxes in the rom-com genre, this movie did not become one of Bradley Cooper’s most appreciated projects. Looking past the clichés, the story features a weird crossword puzzle enthusiast Mary Horowitz (played by Sandra Bullock) who pursues a CCN cameraman across the USA because her state of mind makes her believe that the man is meant for her.

 

Bradley Cooper is the cameraman named Steve. Other memorable artists in this production are Keith David, DJ Qualls, M. C. Gainey, Thomas Haden Church, Howard Hesseman, and Ken Jeong. The story is heavily stereotyped bordering on offensive (to women).

 

 

38. The Comebacks (2007)

 

 

This sports comedy should, to all intents and purposes, have been successful. Sadly, the project is one of Bradley Cooper’s less-liked ones. He plays a bit part in this script as a cowboy.

 

Other noteworthy artists include Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, and Matthew Lawrence, Brooke Nevin, Carl Weathers, Melora Hardin, Robert Ri’chard, and David Koechner. The entire movie is a collection of spoofs based on established sports movies.

 

The story features a washed-up coach who brings together a squad of hopeless college misfits to play and win a major football championship.

 

 

39. Bending All the Rules (2002)

 

 

This is one of Bradley Cooper’s worst movies to date. It relies heavily on the cliché of an ambitious woman named Kenna with a not-so-great upbringing trying to shuffle two guys whom she’s dating in parallel.

 

She likes them both but doesn’t quite know which one is right for her. Adding to the craziness is that both men are the total opposite of each other in personality.

 

Oddly enough, they are both aware of Kenna’s confusion, so jealousy gradually grows between the men and threatens to explode. Bradley Cooper plays one of the love interests, namely Jeff. Colleen Porch, David Gail, Kurt McKinney, and James Martin Kelly play key roles in the script.

 

 

40. An untitled “Frank Bullitt” script (TBA)

 

 

This Bradley Cooper movie is based on one of the most enduring roles played by legendary classic-era actor Steve McQueen in 1968. Fans are in for a treat, because Cooper will portray the iconic character of Frank Bullitt in this story, which will be directed by Steven Spielberg.

 

As of this writing, the movie has not yet received a release date. Other noteworthy artists are being cast in major roles, which we will know more about in the months to come.
