Ranking Every Keanu Reeves Movie Worst To Best

26. Keanu (2016)

If you're a Keanu Reeves fan, you're basically duty-bound to watch this movie - and as close as guaranteed to enjoy it. Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key's comedy vehicle stars the pair as two hapless goofs trying to recover Peele's titular stolen cat.

The real masterstroke of Keanu isn't simply that it features an adorable cat named after the legendary actor, but that Reeves himself actually agreed to make a small vocal cameo in the film.

Though certainly not as elegantly crafted as Peele's later efforts - this was in fact helmed by regular Key & Peele director Peter Atencio - it channels an appealingly surreal, Shane Black-esque black comedy vibe.

25. Under The Influence (1986)

Another 1986 TV movie for Keanu now, as he plays a young man seemingly destined to become an alcoholic like his father. Though it's easy to view TV "issue movies" as nothing more than glorified PSAs, this one's actually a little more nuanced than that.

Between the strong performances across the ensemble cast and a screenplay keen to examine addiction as the illness that it is, Under the Influence holds up surprisingly well today, despite its obviously mediocre production values by contemporary standards.
