21) Chances Are
20) A Scanner Darkly
19) Iron Man 2
18) Iron Man 3
17) Bowfinger
16) Tropic Thunder

It has great story development and clever writing. If this film was nothing short of great, who knows what Marvel would have been now.

It is definitely worth watching.
A once newspaper cartoonist becomes an amateur detective and is involved with tracking down the famous Zodiac killer.
Downey Jnr. is in a supportive tole to lead Jake Gyllenhaal.
It is definitely not your usual mystery drama.
This gripping character study has that vintage Nolan spectacle and contains multiple strong performance. Including Downey Jnr. as controversial American politician Lewis Strauss.
5) Avengers Assemble - Downey Jnr. is back as Iron Man along with a few other well-known superheroes as they team up to become the Avengers.
It ended the first phase of Marvel Studio's franchise and was the highest grossing film of 2012.
It met and surpassed many peoples expectations. Many had doubts the amount of big name stars would make it a mess. But director Joss Whedon handled it perfectly.
4) Avengers: Endgame - The culmination of 11 years of work for not just the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also Downey Jnr. as the incredible Tony Stark/Iron Man.
It sees the Avengers regroup after the defeat to Thanos and looking to correct their mistakes of the past.

It's an absolute thrill-ride with many high stakes.
2) Natural Born Killers - An Oliver Stone film from the 1990's mean a lot of controversial topics being portrayed on screen.

1) Chaplin - Directed by the late great Richard Attenborough, this film saw Downey Jnr's only Oscar nomination for Best Actor as he played one of the greatest actors of all-time.

A great viewing for lovers of cinema and its early years of development.
