Almost all of Will Ferrell's movies, but especially Talladega Nights, a stupid movie about stupid people doing stupid things according to a stupid script. It's one of two movies I've ever walked out on (the other being Split, which is just gross). Stranger Than Fiction is the only good movie with Will Ferrell in a starring roll.

Stranger Than Fiction is by far Ferrell's best work, because it's the only film of his where he doesn't act like an insufferable man-child.

I wish he would play it straight in more films. He's actually a decent actor when he doesn't act like a fucking idiot.

Zoolander is a great movie.

Mugatu isn't a starring role and Will Ferrell plays the part well. If he was playing Zoolander the movie wouldn't be anywhere near as good.
