'Zoolander'

Zoolander

Ben Stiller writes, directs, and stars in this cult film that pokes fun at the fashion world with the dumbest man involved in a plot to assassinate a Prime Minister. The film has even become part of the fashion world and although the sequel was not as successful, this remains one of the most quotable of the comedian's career.

'There's Something About Mary'

There's Something About Mary

Despite being years in the making, this was the film that launched Stiller to stardom as a man obsessed with the beautiful woman who could have been his but ruined him. A raunchy comedy but one of those that will make you "double over" with laughter.

'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

A film that passed without much success in theaters but could well be one of the best of Stiller's career. A man who never takes risks decides to venture out into the world to meet an eccentric photographer and discover that life is for living.

'Meet The Parents'

Meet The Parents

A classic family comedy we can all relate to, let's just hope no father-in-law is as difficult as Robert DeNiro.

'A Night at the Museum'

A night at the museum

Who hasn't wished museums were as fun as this one? Where all the exhibits come alive when the sun goes down and poor Ben Stiller plays the guard trying to keep order.

'Tropic Thunder'

Tropic Thunder

A crazy film about the war that Ben Stiller himself began to direct with great critical acclaim. Something that was not even in the plans of the producers themselves, who saw public success but did not trust in pleasing the press. The war satire about the shooting of a war movie in which an expert group of recruits gathered in Vietnam, led by Robert Downey Jr (in a role where he became a black soldier due to his pigmentation), Jack Black, Tom Cruise, Nick Nolte or Ben Stiller himself. Funny, crazy, and frenetic. Everyone who saw it remembers it and can't erase it from their mind.

'The Royal Tenenbaums'

The Royal Tenenbaums

It is one of Ben Stiller's less leading roles in his films but Wes Anderson is an expert in creating choral stories with dozens of characters. Here we had great actors like Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray, Gwyneth Paltrow, Owen Wilson, and Danny Glover. Ben Stiller was one of the sons of the extravagant Tenenbaums family clan.

Mystery Men

Before Marvel Universe fame, Ben Stiller starred in a little movie about a group of second-hand heroes trying to save the city because, honestly, there are no better heroes left. Stiller plays a man who thinks he has super strength when they piss him off.

'Tower Heist'

Tower Heist

When a group of employees of a luxurious New York building lose all their savings, they decide to rob the man who defrauded them. An amusing comedy that unites the talents of Stiller and the great Eddie Murphy.

'Harsh Reality'

Harsh Reality

One of the films that best portrays the reality of Generation X and Stiller's first work as a director, starring himself, Ethan Hawk and Winona Ryder. The film's cinematography was done by a young Emmanuel Lubezki, Oscar winner and collaborator of directors such as Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñarritu.

Surely if you think of the movies of recent years that have made you laugh the most, we are sure that many must include Stiller's unique comical appearances and silly gestures.

Ben Stiller: The Actor And Comedian's Most Successful Movies 

The son of two great comedians, it was difficult for Ben Stiller to be a stranger to the world of acting, even more complicated if we take into account that it was common for him to walk around the sets where his parents worked. His first attempt at comedy was through college, but he soon dropped out, without even completing the entire first year, and began to carve out a niche for himself with small roles.

Now he is one of the great comedians who is also a triple threat as he writes and directs movies to make us laugh or cry. Here are his best works.
