Top Owen Wilson Movie Roles

Owen Wilson has graced the screen with his off-beat approach and surfer-good looks, no matter the movie role, his charm shines through. He often gets paired up as half of a comedic team, but his true talents are fully utilized in more of an ensemble cast.

What Owen Wilson needs is a starring role, no buddy nearby, no Will or Farrell or Ben Stiller. His agent needs to land him the lead in a romantic comedy. Until then, here are the top 10 Owen Wilson movie roles.

Note:Everyone has their favorite Owen Wilson movies, including me. This is my own personal list, and yours will most likely differ.

10. Ken Hutchinson in Starsky and Hutch

I'll give a nod to this movie, because it's retro and how wrong can you go with Owen Wilson in cheap-looking '70s throwback ensembles?

9. As Roy O'Bannon in Shanghai Noon

As much as I love Jackie Chan, Owen Wilson almost made this movie watchable.

8. As John Beckwith in The Wedding Crashers

Another highly touted vehicle, Owen Wilson had a lot of screen time, but it was not one of his best roles. Blame the writing.

7. As Dupree in Dupree

This role will place higher with a lot of folks, but hey, I guess I like the more "classic" roles.

6. Special Agent Alex Scott in I Spy

Even though he was without his Siamese Twin sidekick Ben Stiller, he and Eddie Murphy made for an entertaining comedic team.

5. As Hansel in Zoolander

His Hansel, and the entire movie are both so over the top that this movie role needs to place in the middle of the list. It's not the best, not the worst, and certainly not everyone's cup of Owen.

4. As Ned Plimpton in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

You probably haven't seen this movie which also stars Bill Murray and Anjelica Huston, also in The Royal Tannenbaums. Yes, there is a Wes Anderson theme in this list. He seems to have a knack for directing and focusing actors like Owen Wilson.

3. As Kevin Rawley in Meet the Parents

Because who wouldn't want to marry this guy? Okay, maybe he is a bit too sensitive....

2. As Jedediah in Night at the Museum

Maybe because he's funny, or he's just so cute as a little tiny cowboy, this is one of the top, albeit small (in more ways than one) of his movie roles.
