A Variety Of The Most Memorable Films From The Funny Actor, Owen Wilson

By Eric Harris

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.

This article will take a look at some of Owen Wilson's best films to date.

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.

It would pain me to make a list of Owen Wilson movies without mentioning Wedding Crashers. This film is easily one of my favorite comedies in recent memory and the duo of Wilson and Vince Vaughn is pure comedic gold.

Owen Wilson has been nominated for one Academy Award so far in his career, and that was for Best Supporting Actor in The Royal Tenenbaums. This movie is directed by the great Wes Anderson and also stars Ben Stiller and Gene Hackman, amongst others.

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!

I hope that there is at least one movie on this list of Owen Wilson films that you have not yet seen, but will now consider watching. - 40723
