Will Ferrell, once voted “most annoying performer in Hollywood”, has since become one of the biggest comedy stars in the world. He’s one of those rare performers who seems to reach across all barriers and have some appeal to, well, just about everyone. He’s funny and he’s fearless, not to mention charming. This is the right combination to have just as much appeal to the fratboy comedy crowd as to your grandmother. Here are some of the best Will Ferrell movies…
Talladega Nights
Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby, is simply funny from beginning to end. It’s one of Ferrell’s best roles, and a big part of this is the fact that it’s a real movie, in spite of being a spoof. It’s not like Scary Movie or Meet the Spartans where they just cite some popular films and call it a day. It’s actually got good story telling, it has likable, interesting characters with real depth and pathos, and by the end, you’ll really find yourself rooting for them.
Night at the Roxbury
A Night at the Roxbury is… Okay, not one of his VERY best, but it really has its moments. It may seem odd to take the idea of guys bobbing their heads left and right to “What is Love?” and try to flesh it out into a full length feature film, but… Ferrell and Kattan do a lot to make the most of a B grade script. So while it’s not one of his very best, it’s one of the best examples of just how funny Ferrell can be whether or not the script is there for him.
Ben Stiller’s Zoolander
In Zoolander, Ferrell plays one of his funniest roles, even to this date, as the fashion obsessed, flamboyant villain. He’s incredibly over the top, throwing hot coffee on his assistant and cursing like a sailor. The funniest scene has to be “Gasoline fight”, which Ferrell actually didn’t get to participate in, but he has every one of the rest of the movie’s biggest laughs.
