While in recent years Shia LaBeouf’s reputation has been marred with controversy from public intoxication to plagiarized work, he wasn’t always the rebel without a cause that he is today.
Long before Shia was ejected from a broadway performance of Cabaret for drunkenly swatting at Allan Cummings posterior, he was Disney’s golden child racking up 66 episodes of “Even Stevens” and even breaking into the film market alongside John Voight with the tween-hit “Holes.” That’s right, aside from his eccentric art installations (read “social experiments”), ponytail clad green screen motivational videos or even becoming a household names as Sam Witwicky in the first half of Michael Bay’s “Transformers” trilogy, Shia has made some really good movies… and some terrible ones too. Here is our list of 10 of the best, and WORST, Shia Labeouf movies.
5. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
With too much CGI and too little substance, this story even had Shia’s character die and be resurrected in the most cliche fashion.
5. Constantine
Although not a critical success, Keanu Reeves carries this occult thriller into the realm of enjoyability and Shia adds to the chemistry.
4. New York, I Love You
One of ten individual stories, a retired opera singer planning to commit suicide checks into a hotel and is befriended by a melancholy Russian bellboy. The end product was boring at best.
4. Fury
Before the critical flop “Suicide Squad,” writer and director David Ayer hits one out of the park featuring Shia as an American tank operator during WWII.
3. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
Despite the reunion of the original cast members, the story fell short of it’s iconic mantle.
3. The Battle For Shaker Heights
While on the battlefield, a teenage WWII reenactor (Shia) befriends Amy Smart’s character who helps him go against his high school nemesis.
2. Dumb and Dumber-er: When Harry Met Lloyd
The film was a weak attempt to capture the magic of the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels lead original.
2. Eagle Eye
When a high level government agent is mysteriously killed, his identical twin brother is thrown into a web of espionage and danger.
1. Nymphomaniac
Billed as an art-film, Lars Von Trier instead presents four joylessly erotic volumes. The film quickly becomes soft-core porn with A-List actors.
