So my boys and I just sat down and started watching Elf. Will Ferrell is really hit or miss (almost as bad as they come at it). I love this movie. So in honor of him, I'm posting IMDB's top 10 rated movies of his...rank them. I've eliminated the animated movies (Megamind), since we're all adults. I've also eliminated minor roles (Wedding Crashers, Austin Powers, etc).

The Other Guys
Step Brothers
Semi Pro
Blades of Glory
Stranger Than Fiction
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Zoolander
Anchorman
Elf
Old School

IMHO he is one of the most overrated actors ever. He is not as funny as he thinks that he is:</SPAN>

He was very good in Anchorman, fair in Old School, and ok in Zoolander.
Very disappointing in Talladega Nights, horrible in Blades of Glory.
I might check out Other Guys and Semi Pro sometime, mainly due to the other cast members.</SPAN>

I didn't care for Blades of Glory and I haven't watched Stranger Than Fiction, Elf, or Zoolander. I really like Anchorman and Step Brothers. I thought Talladega Nights, Old School, Semi Pro, and Other Guys all had their moments but I'm not huge on any of them.

Even though he had a small role in wedding crashes that movie is great.

I didn't like Step Brothers at all.

Anchorman, Old School, and Zoolander would be 1-3.

I agree this is the top 5, I think you could switch a few around and make a good argument for it.

Special mention though to his cameo in Wedding Crashers.

I wasn't the biggest Zoolander fan. Hated Stranger than Fiction and Semi-Pro, didn't see Kicking and Screaming. No need to mention Bewitched.

They are all pretty much equally stupid.

I think his funniest bit is as the USC strength coach Chuck Berry.

1. Elf (probably his only movie you can watch repeatedly and he doesn't annoy you)
2. Old School
3. The Other Guys
4. Kicking and Screaming

Honorable mention: Blades of Glory

Anchorman was good when it first came out but it's been run into the ground. Semi Pro and Talladega Nights are garbage. Idk that I've seen any others of his.

Fell asleep the first time watching it. Wasn't better on the second turn.

IMDB agrees with me...5.7 is pretty bad. It just wasn't funny. None of the jokes worked.

I seriously think I am starting to hate the (everything) snobs around here. Ferrell is GOAT.
