The Best Owen Wilson Films So Far

By Edwin Richards


Owen Wilson is the type of actor who just seems like a really good guy. In his comedies he usually plays a naively hilarious character, who is often unaware of what's going on, but lovable at the same time. It was incredibly upsetting to hear a while back that he was having emotional issues, because he a tremendous personality.

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.

The Darjeeling Limited is another movie that I would certainly include on this list. This film is directed by Wes Anderson, as many of the best Owen Wilson films happen to be. This film chronicles three brothers (Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman) as they take a trip across rural India on a train.

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.

One other movie that I absolutely loved was Meet The Parents. Wilson actually plays Pam Byrnes' successful ex-boyfriend, who is a threat to Ben Stiller's character. He also reprises this role in the second installment of the franchise, Meet The Fockers.

It is very clear after browsing all of Owen Wilson's films that he has had quite a few great ones.
