Owen Wilson’s Finest Performances In Recent Memory


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.

One film that I would definitely have to include on this list is Behind Enemy Lines. This is certainly different than the majority of Wilson’s films, which might be why I like it so much.

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.

It goes without saying that Wedding Crashers makes the list. This is up there with Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Superbad as my favorite comedy in the past five years. Any time this film is on, I have to watch the whole thing.

Wes Anderson happens to direct many of Owen Wilson’s best movies. One of my favorites is The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, a movie about an underwater explorer and his team who are hunting down a legendary shark.

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.

As it stands, these are my favorite Owen Wilson movies up to this point in his career.

In addition to entertainment, this writer also regularly shares knowledge regarding metal fabricators and corrugated metal sheets.
