Omar Sy – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · February 23, 2026

Omar Sy went from French sketch comedy to one of the country’s biggest box-office phenomena with a single role, then crossed over into Hollywood blockbusters without missing a beat. The Intouchables is that role. Two Men in Town keeps a reformed convict from his old life, Chocolat retells the story of a famous clown, Samba follows an immigrant in France, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Transformers: The Last Knight take him to Hollywood. Robin Hood, Tirailleurs and X-Men: Days of Future Past round out the list.
