My Favorite Woody Harrelson Performances

22.

Tommy, Friends with Benefits



Woody made the most of his brief screentime as Justin Timberlake's gay boss.

21.

Monix, Semi-Pro



Harrelson came very close to stealing this film from Will Ferrell as the rogue member of a semi-pro basketball team.

Harrelson is the man. One of my favorite actors. I loved him the most in Kingpin. I hope to see that movie in your top 5 somewhere.

Money Train was great. Underrated Woody/Wesley duo film.

natural born killers

Kingpin and Natural Born Killers will both be making this list.

I actually got Natural Born Killers and Anger Management at a flea market a few days ago, so it will be interesting to see what I think of those movies in comparison to this thread. I didn't even know he was in Anger Management until it showed up on the list.

I didn't know he was in Am either.

He just does a cameo in Anger Management...he might have five minutes screentime tops.

Are you coming back to this thread?

Bring on your Top 20!

I haven't forgotten about this thread, please bare with me.

I'll jump in with my top ten, which does not include the amazing television work of "Cheers" and "True Detective", which I may have gone top two with if I wasn't sticking to movies.

1. Rampart
2. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
3. The Messenger
4. Zombieland
5. Welcome to Sarajevo

20.

Detective Allen, Triple 9



Harrelson was very convincing as a cop caught in the middle of an investigation where it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

19.

Wilson, Wilson



Not the greatest movie in the world, but Woody worked very hard at making this cantankerous old man trying to carve out a relationship with his daughter, likable.

18.

Ray, edtv



Woody was very funny in this poor man's Truman Show playing a guy who auditions for a television show where his life would be broadcast on television 24-7, but his brother (Matthew McConaughey) gets chosen instead.

Nice, can't wait for your complete list

Ezra, Seven Pounds



I had my issues with this movie, but not with Woody's performance as one of the people Will Smith's character is supposed to transform.

16.

Dusty, A Prairie Home Companion



In the final film directed by the legendary Robert Altman, Woody and John C. Reilly were a lot of fun as a feuding country and western singing duo.

A Prairie Home Companion, that's the first one on you list that I've seen. Good choice

I can't believe that's the only one on the list so far that you've seen, Citizen, you should really check some of these movies out.
