Keanu Reaves has one of the most diverse filmographies of any actor in Hollywood. With 68 movies under his belt, he's done everything from blockbusters and dramas to goofy comedies.
But what three movies does the actor himself think best sum up him as a person?
Ahead of the release of The Matrix: Resurrections this Christmas - the long-awaited sequel in which Reeves will reprise his iconic role of Neo - the 57-year-old actor spoke to Esquire about his career, work ethic, and more.
As well as revealing that he is technically married to Winona Ryder, the John Wick actor also gave us an insight into his personal favorite movies when asked to pick three a person should start with if they'd never heard of him.
"If you’re getting to know me… I guess you could do it through my work," he said, before listing his picks.
"Okay, let’s just start with The Matrix – and when I say The Matrix, let’s do the trilogy – that’s one. Then let’s do The Devils Advocate. And then let’s do… we need something action-y in there, so let’s do Point Break… start with the easy stuff," said the actor.
For anyone familiar with Reeves' filmography, his first pick will come as no surprise. Reeves is perhaps best known for philosophical sci-fi Matrix movies, which have become cult classics in their own right and grossed over $1.6 billion worldwide.
Point Break was also an obvious choice. The adrenaline-filled blockbuster - in which Reeves stars alongside Patrick Swayze - is generally considered one the best action films of all time.
But his second choice might come as a surprise to some. The Devil's Advocate - a 1997 film in which Reeves plays a defense lawyer invited to work for intimidating law firm owner Al Pacino - is an odd mix of legal thriller and psychological horror that not many would think of as Reeves' most notable work.
Still, it clearly has a place close to the actor's heart.
Point Break is available to watch on Netflix now, while The Matrix trilogy and The Devil's advocate can be rented or purchased on-demand.
The Matrix Resurrections is set for release on December 22, 2021.
