Top 5 Best Jack Black Movies List

3. The School of Rock (2003) – The best family movie on the top Jack Black movies list, this musical comedy stars Black as a rogue substitute teacher who turns a group of advanced kid musicians into a rock band.
2. King Kong (2005) – If any film serves an actor’s claim of versatility, it is King Kong for Jack Black. Black plays ambitious filmmaker Carl Denham, who leads the characters onto the dangerous Skull Island, in this recent recreation of the classic horror story.
1. Tropic Thunder (2000) - You could say Black benefits from a strong ensemble that includes Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, and Ben Stiller, but he fills his role admirably as Jeff Portnoy (Hot LZOne) in this very funny Ben Stiller movie about a group of guys that go on location to film a movie and are not aware of just how genuine the story becomes.
