00:00 Intro
I cannot believe they didnt include The Prestige in here. That is among my favorite if not my favorite Christian Bale movie.
00:25 Patrick Bateman, American Psycho
04:53 Bruce Wayne/Batman, The Dark Knight Trilogy
Sabrina, don't just stare at Christian Bale talk about his career. Feel it.
08:29 The Fighter
10:00 The Machinist
After Fictic's Edit "Bring it On"
12:03 The Big Short
13:50 Dick Cheney, Vice
I thought it was interesting how he went to wall street BEFORE the movie american psycho came out and 'a bunch' of guys all knew and loved patrick bateman...which is funny considering how tame the movie is compared to the book.

@Lmoore-ve1igWhat about the Prestige?
@genieewalter16What know jack Kelly in the newsies
@johnnyoldenjr.Duke is awesome
@SBMPLYMABrits can sound American so well.
@SBMPLYMAHow do you not ask him about The Prestige…….
@piczilla5887I knew it wasn't going to be but I really wish someone did Newsies lol
@GyeongmiBaebDoes he have an Oscar?
@cjd919American Psycho was a brilliant movie.
@tanyastueber40Hostiles was magnificent.
@ClarkKent-xt4rfHow do they lose the British accent so well I wonder
@SFsurfGOAT
@clu7ch491I appreciate all of this, P.S. The Prestige should be on here as well.
@gerarddavion1I love how confident he is in his roles
@TonicashhhhI love Christian Bales performances. He's cool.
@sm8781Dude why did yall not include the last samurai?!! that’s my favorite movie!!
@itsparkerdawg3532WTF i had no idea he was British
@1WAY4LIMHO Bale is The Best Batman Ever 🦇
@tomjefferson2024I like the fact that he is unapologetically himself! And I wanna thank him for all of the entertainment.
@JayTaz17You will always be batman
What batman means by that? 🤨🤔
NO HARSH TIMES???
@T0mbkeeprout of the furnace. super underrated
@raysabetto-davis834for some reason i always thought Christian was American
@IzzyGone97He is the best Batman ever. Affleck is the best Bruce Wayne ever.
@jeryd66The speaking whistle is getting to me now...
@riot2944Don't ever forget Newsies. That's when I first saw him. "Wait, Christian Bale was in a musical?" Yes, yes he was. With a bunch of other actors you might recognize, I might add. He doesn't like to talk about it but as a young teen, I loved it. I honestly think he should fully accept it in his resume because it really shows how much of a versatile actor he is.
@diggyspiffMy personal favorite is Batman begins
But Machinist is the one that shocks me the most!!
Oh what a beast he is , On my watch list is Amsterdam - love to see him with De Niro
the real gigachad
@noxkwcclosest you can get to Daniel Day-Lewis
