My Top Ten Jack Black Movies

Happy Birthday to Jack Black, who turns 48 today.

I love Jack Black. Some people hate Jack Black. I had no idea! I suppose he’s an acquired taste. But I love that first Tenacious D album. I don’t care what anyone says! Great songs on that. 🙂

So here are My Top Ten Jack Black Movies (ranked by how much I like the movie, not performance – I’m aware some of these are tiny roles).

I like Jack Black in small doses. He’s great in Bob Roberts. I do like Tenacious D. Although not as much as I used to. I think I like him most when a director makes sure that he’s not just doing a caricature of himself.

Okay, I had to look up Bob Roberts. I don’t know that one! It does look interesting. Black probably does need a director to keep him from being soooo “Jack Black”. Although I think being himself worked for School Of Rock more than other films…

I love Jack Black and I have seen Tenacious D live (what a show that was). I really loved him in Tropic Thunder. Now I want to go and watch that again.
