Keanu Reeves-led movies have oddly specific but sometimes absurd premises, whether it's a bus that will blow up if it goes below 50 miles per hour or an undercover FBI agent who infiltrates a group of criminal surfers. But that's all part of the actor's brand, and it's his movie choices that are part of why audiences love him.

Keanu Reeves' profile has grown exponentially over the past few years, and cinephiles are enjoying a Reeves-renaissance at the minute, with new movies like The Matrix Resurrections and Bill & Ted Face The Music. But between romantic dramas and cyberpunk classics, it's his old films that resonate the most with Letterboxd users.

Toy Story 4 (2019) - 3.6

It's hard to keep a movie franchise fresh after three releases and several shorts, but Pixar achieved exactly that with Toy Story 4, and they did so by introducing several new toys. Of all the new toys, the one that stood out the most was Duke Caboom (Reeves), a retired Canadian stuntman whose hands are attached to his motorbike.

The Evel Knieval-influenced stuntman is one of the best new characters of the series and one of the toy characters that Toy Story fans want to see return the most. Reeves' delivery of the lines is typically raspy, but seeing that applied to such a ridiculous character was the most fun fans have had since hearing Reeves' voice saying his iconic "woah" in The Matrix.

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - 3.6

After a string of cinematic failures, celebrated director Francis Ford Coppola returned with two high-profile projects in the early-1990s. The first of which was The Godfather Part III, and the second was the much more experimental Bram Stoker's Dracula. The movie attempts to faithfully adapt the original novel, and for the most part, it succeeds, and there are some creative practical shots used to get certain difficult effects all in-camera.

Surprisingly, the third Godfather movie had a polarizing reception, and it was Dracula that turned out to be the director's mid-career highlight. But, unfortunately, Reeves' performance of Jonathan Harker was the most criticized part of the movie, as some thought that he played the character with too much naivety.

Speed (1994) - 3.6

While the idea of an entire movie being set on a bus sounds boring, when the bus isn't allowed to drive below 50 miles per hour or else it blows up, it becomes one of the most exciting action movies ever. Speed is such an entertaining, ridiculous thrill ride.

The movie is the perfect vehicle for Reeves to call out a couple of "woahs" while busting out some hilarious facial expressions in reaction to the unfolding events, and audiences get exactly that. Unfortunately, Speed 2: Cruise Control didn't star the actor, and if any movie needed Reeves' presence, it was the disappointing sequel.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) - 3.6

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is about two slackers who travel back in time in a phone booth, and it's a time travel even more absurd than the one found in Hot Tub Time Machine. The movie follows Bill and Ted as they go back in time and collect a bunch of historical figures for their school project.

The movie spawned not one but two sequels, and while they don't quite reach the heights of the original movie, they are still fun films that are perfect for audiences looking for dumb fun. Bogus Journey is especially entertaining, as it sees the eponymous characters got to hell and back, befriend an alien life form called Station, and hire the Grim Reaper as the bass player for their band. And it proves that Ted is Keanu Reeves' wackiest role.

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) - 3.7

Following the sleeper hit that was the first movie, Reeves returned as the titular character for the sequel. And if the first movie didn't prove it already, Chapter 2 cemented John Wick as an iconic movie action hero.

The 2017 movie doubles down on the gun-fu that was so successful with the first film, it builds the fascinating, assassin-filled world, and it sees Wick now globe-trotting, as the best sequence in the movie takes place in Rome. The film is one of the best action movies for fight choreography, and Reeves makes gunfighting look like ballet.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) - 3.7

From the very second the film starts, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum doesn't slow down, as it moves from the hit being ordered on Wick to a knife fight to a chase scene with motorbikes and horses. Somehow, the movie ups the ante from the second film, and it even sees Wick travel to Casablanca in an attempt to clear his name.

The movie also introduces new assassins into the series, including Sofia, a John Wick storyline fans want to see more of, and her assassin dogs briefly steal the show from Wick. And if the high-octane movie wasn't exhausting enough, it ends on a huge cliffhanger, which makes the prolonged wait for John Wick 4 even harder.

Point Break (1991) - 3.7

Point Break is a tentpole movie in Reeves' career, and audiences love it for the outlandish premise and the warts-and-all performance from the actor. The film is about an FBI agent (Reeves) who is tasked with infiltrating a criminal gang who are also surfers, and he must learn to surf to gain their trust.

This early in his career, Reeves wasn't always the greatest actor in the world, and part of the fun of the movie is the outrageous delivery of his lines. The movie also influenced The Fast and the Furious, which actually lifted the entire premise of the 1991 movie, but Brian and Dom's friendship doesn't hold a candle to Bodhi and Johnny's bromance.

John Wick (2014) - 3.8

John Wick changed the whole action landscape, and there isn't a movie in the genre that goes by without a little gun-fu. Though the 2014 movie didn't invent the movie fighting style, it's certainly the best example of it and was the one to popularize it in Hollywood. However, it was Reeves' commitment to the role, performing his own stunts, and being well versed in martial arts is that elevated the movie from being good to great. Reeves' dedication to the performance is as clear as day on screen.

And what tips the original movie over that edge and why it's rated 0.1 higher than its sequels is for its surprisingly tear-jerking narrative. While the sequels are the most entertaining action movies of the past decade, they don't pull on the heartstrings like the original does.

My Own Private Idaho (1991) - 3.9

My Own Private Idaho is an outlier in Reeves' filmography, as it's a romantic drama that's free of any goofy comedy, and there certainly isn't any gun-fu. The movie follows two friends who go on a road trip from Portland to Idaho on a journey of self-discovery. It's an early-career peak that showed glimmers of how great of an actor Reeves can be.

That's helped by the chemistry between him and costar River Phoenix, who, according to Esquire, were great friends at the time. And even with all of Reeves' exciting high concept action movies under his belt, it's still the early dramatic performance that fans love the most... or almost the most.

The Matrix (1999) - 4.2

1999 was a tentpole year in the movie industry, as it saw the release of huge, game-changing movies, including The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and Being John Malkovich. But it was The Matrix that had people talking the most. The film not only overperformed and earned Warner Bros. hundreds of millions of dollars, but it started a multimedia franchise and even a fashion trend.

Just as was the case with John Wick, Reeves jumped at the chance to totally throw himself into an action performance that few other actors would. And though it would have been interesting to see Will Smith as Neo, it's Reeves that helped make the movie iconic.
