The Best Bald Movies

Its a sunny day in my neck of the woods, but anyone who lives in the Pacific Northwest knows that sunny days do not last long around here. A rainy day will appear sooner rather than later. Which is why I am going to start planning a film festival featuring great movies that star or feature baldies. You could really have a lot of fun with this, if you invited a few friends over and served “bald” treats, and gave away awards. But I will let your imaginations run wild. For now, I will just offer a few selections for your viewing pleasure.
- Being John Malkovich – One of my most favorite movies. The scene where John Malkovich enters the portal to his own brain, and enters a world made up entirely of John Malkovich’s kills me. Its genius. This movie would headline my festival.
- Iron Man – ok granted it was just released into the theatre a few weeks ago, so you may have to wait a while for a legitimate dvd release. But it is hands down the best superhero movie I have ever seen. Jeff Bridges rocks the bald look. Ever wonder why the best villains are always bald. If you know the answer to this let me know.
- The Magnificent Seven – I have not seen this movie, but it is a remake from one of the best movies I have ever seen (The Seven Samurai)- actually watch the Seven Samurai while you are at it. T.M.S has Yul Brynner and he is a very famous baldy. Its on my list to watch, anyway.
- Speaking of Yul Brynner you may want to see The King and I. Many reasons to watch this film- the costumes, the music and dancing, and of course watching Yul Brynner acting like a spoiled brat.
- Powder - fantastic and out of the world experience with Sean Patrick Flanery and Jeff Goldblum.
- Annie – you must have known this movie was going to make the list. How could I leave off Daddy Warbucks. Introduce your favorite 7 year old to the world of Little Orphan Annie.
Do you have any favorite bald movies that you could add to this list?















Well I am shocked. you missed the best bald movie of them all. Westworld!
In response to the question as to why the best bad guys are bald: I have often wondered this myself and I think it is because bald is seen as “unnatural”. Usually people have hair on their heads and so when the hair is missing this is not “normal”. Bad guys tend to have the undesirable/not normal physical characteristics.
Just my thoughts.
