Ben Stiller’s Best Roles In Recent Memory
One of the kings of the modern day movie comedy is Ben Stiller. For over ten years, Stiller’s face has become synonymous with hit comedies, and everything points to this trend continuing on into the next decade. Stiller is a very likable guy who clearly does not take himself too seriously, in movies at least.
The following are what I consider to be the top five best Ben Stiller films of all time.
It goes without saying that Meet The Parents has to be included. I didn’t care for the sequel, but the original movie is absolutely hilarious. Stiller and Robert De Niro are great as adversaries in this hilarious comedy that is appropriate for people of all ages.
There’s Something About Mary is another movie that is absolutely hilarious. The first time I saw this movie, I was blown away by how unexpectedly funny this movie was. Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon also star in this one. I don’t recall the name of the guy who played Tucker, Mary’s best friend, but he was great as well.
Tropic Thunder is another movie that I would definitely include on this list. This movie has it all, and the best part is how clever the plot is. This movie is so funny and Tom Cruise steals the show.
Another film that I would definitely include on this list is Keeping The Faith. This is a grown up comedy of sorts, and I loved it. Ben Stiller plays a rabbi while Edward Norton plays his best friend, who just happens to be a priest. Sounds like the start of a joke.
Heavyweights is the final film that makes my top five Ben Stiller movies. I have nothing but fond memories about this comical movie about a fat camp and the evil man who runs it. This is a similar role that Stiller plays in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
It is clear from going through his best movies that Ben Stiller has had quite the successful career and has had some great films.
