subject: Owen Wilson's Funniest Roles In Throughout His Career [print this page] There are only a handful of actors who can appear in multiple comedies, often in the same year, without becoming irritating or having their act become old and unfunny. In my opinion, Owen Wilson is one of those actors. Regardless of the film in which he stars, he is always charming and usually hilarious.
Let's discuss some of Owen Wilson's greatest movies in the past 15 years.
The first movie that I will discuss on this list is Zoolander. As likable as Derek Zoolander was, Owen Wilson's character, Hansel, was even better. This is a hilarious and lighthearted comedy, and highly recommended if you're a fan of Stiller or Wilson.
Another film that I thoroughly enjoyed was The Darjeeling Limited. This film was directed by the incredibly talented director Wes Anderson, who had worked with Wilson in the past. This film stars Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody.
Plain and simple, Wedding Crashers has to make the list. There are few comedic duos in recent memory that had the chemistry and charisma that Wilson and Vince Vaughn had in this film. This movie is hilarious and a brilliant concept.
The Royal Tenenbaums is another movie that certainly makes the top five Owen Wilson films for me. This is probably Wes Anderson's best film to date, and has an all star cast including Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Angelica Huston, Gene Hackman, Bill Murray and Danny Glover.
The final movie to make the list for me is Meet The Parents. I didn't care much for the sequel, but the original film is absolutely hilarious. Audiences are supposed to hate Owen Wilson in this movie, but it's hard to!
As it stands, these are my favorite Owen Wilson movies up to this point in his career.
