Rank Will Ferrell Movies

  • SnotBubbles
    So my boys and I just sat down and started watching Elf. Will Ferrell is really hit or miss (almost as bad as they come at it). I love this movie. So in honor of him, I'm posting IMDB's top 10 rated movies of his...rank them. I've eliminated the animated movies (Megamind), since we're all adults. I've also eliminated minor roles (Wedding Crashers, Austin Powers, etc).

    The Other Guys
    Step Brothers
    Semi Pro
    Blades of Glory
    Stranger Than Fiction
    Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
    Zoolander
    Anchorman
    Elf
    Old School

    IMHO he is one of the most overrated actors ever. He is not as funny as he thinks that he is:</SPAN>

    He was very good in Anchorman, fair in Old School, and ok in Zoolander.
    Very disappointing in Talladega Nights, horrible in Blades of Glory.
    I might check out Other Guys and Semi Pro sometime, mainly due to the other cast members.</SPAN>

    Step Brothers is my favorite comedy of all time
  • bigdaddy2003
    I didn't care for Blades of Glory and I haven't watched Stranger Than Fiction, Elf, or Zoolander. I really like Anchorman and Step Brothers. I thought Talladega Nights, Old School, Semi Pro, and Other Guys all had their moments but I'm not huge on any of them.

    Even though he had a small role in wedding crashes that movie is great.
  • ernest_t_bass

    Step Brothers
  • Rotinaj
    Love Step Brothers and Anchorman. A couple more are ok and the rest blow.

    I agree this is the top 5, I think you could switch a few around and make a good argument for it.

    Special mention though to his cameo in Wedding Crashers.

    I wasn't the biggest Zoolander fan. Hated Stranger than Fiction and Semi-Pro, didn't see Kicking and Screaming. No need to mention Bewitched.
  • sjmvsfscs08
    His part in The Producers is pretty hilarious.
  • sleeper
    The other guys.
  • said_aouita
    They are all pretty much equally stupid.

    I think his funniest bit is as the USC strength coach Chuck Berry.

    That movie was G.O.A.T.

    Im a pretty big Ferrell fan, even though I admit some of his movies suck.

    My top 5:
    Step Brothers
    Old School
    The Other Guys
    Talladega Nights
    Semi-Pro
  • friendfromlowry
    1. Elf (probably his only movie you can watch repeatedly and he doesn't annoy you)
    2. Old School
    3. The Other Guys
    4. Kicking and Screaming

    Honorable mention: Blades of Glory

    Anchorman was good when it first came out but it's been run into the ground. Semi Pro and Talladega Nights are garbage. Idk that I've seen any others of his.
  • Commander of Awesome
    Stranger than Fiction

    Distant 2nd is Old School.

    Rest are meh to terrible.

    Fell asleep the first time watching it. Wasn't better on the second turn.

    IMDB agrees with me...5.7 is pretty bad. It just wasn't funny. None of the jokes worked.

    I seriously think I am starting to hate the (everything) snobs around here. Ferrell is GOAT.
