Top 5 Best Ben Stiller Movies List
5. Flirting with Disaster (1996) – Arguably the deepest script in the Stiller portfolio next to Meet the Parents, this clever and quirky comedy also stars Patricia Arquette, Tea Leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, George Segal, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin, Richard Jenkins, Josh Brolin, and Celia Weston.
4. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) – Stiller actually plays second fiddle in this funny comedy that is also among the top Vince Vaughn movies. About as much fun as you can have in a movie about dodgeball. Stiller’s wife Christine Taylor co-stars and rebukes Stiller’s character for Vaughn’s.
3. There’s Something About Mary – One of the funniest films of all time, period. Stiller, Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon play out a hugely entertaining love triangle. An ironic Brett Favre cameo seals the deal.
2. Tropic Thunder – The most laugh out loud funny film on the top Ben Stiller movies list, this witty and offbeat war movie also starred Owen Wilson, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom Cruise.
1. Meet the Parents – This was not only the best all-around Ben Stiller film, but it helped launch the successful “Focker” franchise that now includes 2004′s Meet the Fockers and 2010′s Little Fockers.
Other top Ben Stiller films considered for this list: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), Night at the Museum (2006), Along Came Polly (2004), Envy (2004), Meet the Fockers (2004), Duplex (2003), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Zoolander (2001), Heavyweights (1995)
