My Top 10: Will Ferrell Films

For just over 20 years, Will Ferrell has both been on our big and small screens. From his first big role in Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery, to his big break on TV with Saturday Night Live, to creating one of the most iconic characters in film comedy in the form of Ron Burgundy.

Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot deny that he has become one of the biggest comedic actors of the 21st century.

I feel I have seen a fair amount of his films to do this list. Out of his 52 films, I have seen 22 of them. I will rank all of the ones that I have seen, and then give a short review for each of my top 10:

22) Kicking & Screaming
21) Bewitched
20) Zoolander 2
19) Land Of The Lost
18) Blades Of Glory
17) Daddy's Home
16) The Other Guys
15) Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
14) Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery
13) Everything Must Go
12) Semi-Pro
11) Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby

10) Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues - Despite being massively inferior to the first Anchorman, this is still a good movie that has a lot of funny moments.

The amount of gags are ridiculous and a lot of them work well. It is great to see Ron Burgundy back on our screens.

9) Old School - Three friends want to recapture their glory days and make their own fraternity.

This movie is jam packed with endless fun and Ferrell is leading the way with Luke Wilson, Vince Vaugh and Jeremy Piven not far behind.

Despite not getting much notice in cinemas. It has done pretty well since its DVD release.

8) Step Brothers - Two middle-aged guys who still live with their respective single parents are forced to live together as their respective parents are marrying each other.

The chemistry between Ferrel and John C. Reilly works so well and the silly comedy has solid execution to make this film entertaining.

7) Zoolander - A film that has certainly got more popular over time. So much is that we have a sequel, 15 years after the release of the original in 2001.

It stars Ben Stiller plays a washed up fashion model looking to clear his name and become the best in the business once again.

Ferrel plays fashion mogul, Mugatu.

6) Megamind - From Dreamworks Animation, sees Ferrell voice supervillain Megamind.

After finally defeating his arch nemesis, there are more heroes to fight. Now he means new meaning to his life. It's a clever twist on the superhero genre and definitely deserves more praise then it has.

5) Elf - One of the few modern Christmas films that has become a big favourite with the holiday season.

It's popularity continues to grow and it is thanks to Jon Favreau's directing and Will Ferrell brilliant performance as Buddy the Elf.

4) The Producers - A fantastic musical version of the 1967 original written by Mel Brooks.

It sees a pair of theatre producers purposely make the worlds worst musical to get rich quick.

With the stellar cast, Ferrell plays an eccentric former Nazi who is also a playwriter. A hugely under-rated musical that never fails to make me smile and laugh.

3) Stranger Than Fiction - A dramatic Will Ferrell role that when you see this, you instantly think "he should be doing more of these types of role!".

The story is unique, cleverly structured and executed. With Ferrell, there are also great performances by Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Dustin Hoffman.

2) The Lego Movie - A film that looked like shameful publicity actually became a brilliant animated comedy directed by the always great Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.

Will Ferrell voices the evil President Business.

1) Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy - One of the most famous and quotable film comedies of all-time.

Ferrell plays a top news anchorman that sees his job being threatened by a woman, in a time when men always had the big jobs.

The comedy in genius and the silliness of Ferrell and co works beautifully.
