and you do know there is a world of difference between ordinary jews and zionists?

and you do know there are christian extremists and normal christians?

and you do know there are muslim extremists and normal muslims?

Besides Im not Arab FYI im of mixed race and british born and bred. Served 2 years in the TA army and graduated from Oxford Brookes.

But all that is besides the point why the Fuck would i care if he is jewish. He's a funny guy.period.

With my Bizarre tastes my list will probably get bashed:

1-Royal Tenabaums ( I spelled this wrong)
2-Zoolander
3-Mystery Men

I thought "Mary" was only funny the first 2 or 3 times then it was kind of lame. "Parents" I did not get. I just felt bad for Stiller's character and only laughed like one or 2 times through-out the whole thing.

I havent seen the Royal Tenanbaums yet, but its by the guy that did Rushmore so I would probably agree its the best. Zoolander and Mystery Men are great.

Something About Mary sucked though. Not a big fan of retarded kid humor.
I liked meet the parents though, DeNiro is a funny man.

He directed and wrote Cable Guy, so I guess that could be my #4 :emb:

Rent it, now! Royal Tenanbaums is head and shoulders above the other Stiller Flicks. Also it is very much in the vein of Rushmore.

I keep wanting to, but my dad always says no for some reason. And then he picks up a random romance movie he has never heard of. He has horrible taste :(

The best part Ben Stiller has ever played was on Happy Gilmore when he was that guy who worked in the retirement home. He was so mean to all those old people.

I'm a bigger fan of Stiller's films than his "One Time" sitcom that is on DVD boxed set when other far more deserving shows are not. :mad: *Anyhow I like most of the films he's put out, and his upcoming role in Dodge Ball had me rolling during the previews with how much of a groad he's playing.

I just started becoming a fan of Stiller's in the past year or so after avoiding his movies like the plague. But after watching "Mary", and "Parents", I began to come around. He's really good at playing the average joe who's a bit down on his luck, although the new "tough guy" Stiller in "Starsky and Hutch" and the upcoming "Dodgeball" looks pretty f'n funny too. :glee:

My favorites are Something about Mary and Royal Tenebaums. I didn't like Meet the Parents at all. Haven't seen Duplex or Along came Polly yet.

i thought starsky and hutch was really good, had surprisingly subtle humor considering what type of movie it is.. stiller and the blonde guy also go well together. i like stiller movies.. pretty much all the ones ive seen.

His darker role in "black and white" was also good....altho that film has one of the funniest scenes in movie history when Robert Downey jnr makes homosexual overtures to Mike Tyson and pays the price hahahahahahah anyone else see that?

I cannot state this strongly enough:

ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE GO SEE "DODGEBALL" RIGHT NOW.

Just got back from the movie theater -- funniest damn thing I've seen in ages. But if you're thinking about going, don't let anyone tell you about the cameo appearances in the film -- you don't want to ruin what are some of the best surprises. Rip Torn fucking owns.

I enjoyed Zoolander and Something about Mary - mostly the part where he talk about "working with retards" :tickled:

I'm not really sure if I liked the movies because of Ben Stiller, however.

The line "I've had little Dick for thirty years" almost went over my head. Almost.
