What happened to the movie where Paul Rudd and Bruce Willis in “The Prince” Paul Rudd is a mechanic who cant reach his daughter at school because of drugs and Bruce Willis is some kind of Mobster who is trying to kill Rudd after he kills his wife by an accidental bombing gone wrong.
I think the first time I saw Paul Rudd on film was in Clueless, 20 years ago. And now he’s playing a Marvel superhero!
I enjoyed Ant-Man, it was a change of pace for Marvel and only one building was destroyed! 🙂
Let’s see I’ve seen… 15 of the 34 films you’ve listed, just under half. Monsters vs Aliens rated no.1? It was good fun, I bought the 3D blu-ray. I still haven’t seen The Cider House Rules, didn’t some English actor win an Oscar for that?
I liked the quote from Paul Rudd’s son regarding Ant-Man. Good work Bruce. Voted Up!
Hey Steve. Rudd has come a long way to finally end up as a superhero. My tally is at 26 Paul Rudd movies watched. Yeah…I was not too happy that Monsters vs Aliens topped the charts too…..but other than that I was happy with the rankings. Shame on you for not seeing Cider House Rules…you gotta respect Sir Michael more….lol. I liked the quote from his son too. As always thanks for the comment.
Seems Rudd taking on the AntMan role is what Keaton did with the Batman role. Both light comedic actors taking on a superhero role.
Good point S & S. I had not really thought about that….but it makes sense to me.
Have always been a huge of Paul Rudd fans thanks for sharing the link.
You are welcome Sbien….glad to see Paul Rudd has a nice following on Facebook.
