I think it’s hard to argue against ‘Anchorman’ as his best movie. The comedy, the characters, and the quotable lines are just top-notch.

True! ‘Anchorman’ definitely defined his career. But did anyone mention ‘Step Brothers’? The chemistry with John C. Reilly is off the charts!

4

While ‘Step Brothers’ is hilarious, I still believe ‘Elf’ really showcases his charm and comedic talent, especially for the holiday season.

5

Exactly! ‘Elf’ brings a different vibe than his other movies. It’s heartfelt and funny. Does anyone else think his performance in ‘Talladega Nights’ is also underrated?

6

Yes! ‘Talladega Nights’ has some hilarious moments and great supporting cast too. Who could forget Sacha Baron Cohen?

7

I actually find ‘Blades of Glory’ to be a hidden gem in his filmography. It’s such a unique premise, and his dynamic with Jon Heder is fantastic!

Totally agree! Every time I rewatch it, I find something new to laugh at, like his ice skating outfits! What’s everyone’s pick for the most quotable scene?

For me, the ‘Ron Burgundy’ news bit scenes in ‘Anchorman’ take the cake! But I also love the line: ‘I am a peacock, you gotta let me fly!’ from ‘Step Brothers’.

10

Haha! That’s a classic! It’s so quotable. But for more laughs, what about his role in ‘Zoolander’? He plays such a hilarious villain!

11

I don’t know, I think his humor in ‘Zoolander’ is a bit over the top. At least ‘Anchorman’ has more grounded humor. Thoughts?

12

That’s fair, but sometimes over-the-top humor is what we need! It’s a different flavor in comedy. Let’s celebrate the variety!

Absolutely! Each movie has its strengths, and they all show off different sides of Will’s comedic talent. Which do you think has the best character arc?

14

I’d say ‘Elf’ offers a great character arc. Buddy transforms from a lost elf to finding his place in the world. Such a feel-good message!

15

I think ‘Kicking & Screaming’ often gets overlooked. It’s hilarious how Will Ferrell’s character balances parenting and coaching a kids’ soccer team. Classic Ferrell humor!

16

I completely agree! That mix of chaos and comedy works so well. What do you think about ‘The Other Guys’? It’s not as popular but has some great moments!

17

‘The Other Guys’ is definitely a gem. I love the banter he has with Mark Wahlberg! But I’d also suggest checking out ‘Everything Must Go.’ It’s a more serious but heartfelt role for Ferrell.

I’ve seen ‘Everything Must Go,’ and it surprised me! It’s not the usual Ferrell vibe, but he shows a lot of depth. How do you all feel about ‘Bewitched’? I know it was panned, but it has its moments!

I think ‘Bewitched’ is underrated! The chemistry with Nicole Kidman is there. It’s lighthearted fun! Have you all watched ‘Casa de Mi Padre’? It’s so different from his usual work.

‘Casa de Mi Padre’ is a wild ride! The Spanish language aspect is so unique for him. It’s a shame more people haven’t seen it. It’s like a parody of telenovelas!
