10 Best Shia LaBeouf Film Performances

1. Peanut Butter Falcon

Honey Boy Shia LeBeouf
Roadside Attractions

Much like Honey Boy, Peanut Butter Falcon is an intimate look at the life of its characters. Shia, who stars alongside Dakota Johnson and Zack Gottsagen, takes on the role of a heartwarming North Carolina outcast. This is one of the rare outings where Shia hosts a heavy accent, and at times you even forget that you are watching such a familiar face.

This film is about a young boy with Down syndrome, who leaves his assisted living situation in order to go on the lam and pursue his dream of becoming a famous wrestler.

Through unforeseen circumstances, he crosses paths with LaBeouf's character, and the two embark on a journey that is thrilling and endearing. They become best friends and the way that they interact feels so honest and real that you forget that you are watching a movie. It is movie magic at its most intimate.

This film is about the characters as much as it is the story, and the two leads (LaBeouf and Gottsagen) carry each other to new heights.
