Owen Wilson – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · March 6, 2026

Wedding Crashers and Zoolander show the loose, improvisational energy his career is built on, but Midnight in Paris gives that same charm a more thoughtful showcase, and Loki brought him a whole new audience. Armageddon places him among a ragtag oil-driller crew, You, Me and Dupree has a freeloading best man overstaying his welcome, and Shanghai Noon pairs him with Jackie Chan in the Old West. The Royal Tenenbaums, Cars and Marley & Me round out the list.
