What is everyones's favorite Ben Stiller movie? My vote goes to Zoolander. I never get sick of watching that movie! It is the kind of movie that you pick up something new every time you watch it. Not many people have ever seen it though :(

    Zoolander here. This is one you either love or hate for the most part.

    Zoolander was pretty funny, almost in spite of Ben Stiller. He bothers me something awful.

    His wife's hot though.

    Meet the Parents. In general, his movies are terrible. Is it just me or does he play pretty much the same character in every film?

    Flirting With Disaster
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Actually, I'd have to change my vote to The Royal Tenenbaums. I know he was but one of many stars in it, but MAN what a great film. The girl and I were just blown away the 1st time we saw it....

    Wow! Bobman has disdain for something. Stop the presses:p
    I like all of Wes Anderson's films.. with my favorite being Bottle Rocket.

    Hahahaha, touche.

    I actually liked Bottle Rocket. But Royal Tannenbaums and Life Aquatic... I don't think I made it through either.

    This Forum wouldn't be the same without ya:)
    I won't lie... I've kind of steered clear of Life Aquatic. Too many of mis amigos have given me fair warning.

    Does the Ben Stiller Show count?

    Yea, that was another one of those love it or hate it films...All of the guys we were watching it with summed the end of it up with "what a pile of ****", but for some reason it hit right with the girl and I.

    I liked Life Aquatic as well :/

    Then again, I've seen people talking about the Mummy here as if it were anything besides a steaming pile of monkey **** (which is blatantly untrue), so there appears to be a wide variety of tastes here :)

    The Ben Stiller show was great zombie! The Charles Manson skit killed me.

    keeping the faith - I am not a big fan of the typical Ben Stiller movie. (I hated zoolander - meet the parents was pretty funny though.) If you have not seen Keeping the faith (not his most widely seen movie), it is well worth a rental.
