Anyone who’s anyone is embracing the Bill Hader renaissance right now. After the success of his dark tragic comedy masterpiece Barry, Bill Hader starred in It Chapter 2 and Disney’s Noelle, bringing him rocketing back into America’s consciousness.

If you’re looking to dive a little bit deeper into Bill Hader’s filmography, his top ten movies (according to the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, at least) are an excellent place to start. Though, tragically, two of his best roles (Flint Lockwood in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (86%) and Aaron Conners in Trainwreck (85%)) just barely miss the cut-off, this just means his actual top ten must be the real cream of the crop.

The Skeleton Twins (87%)

Speaking of dark comedies, my God, The Skeleton Twins. Released in 2014 and directed by Craig Johnson, this absolute masterpiece of both comedy and drama stars both Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig as twin siblings who haven’t been in contact for ten years, but try to kill themselves at the same time. They come together, in theory, to support each other, though there’s a lot of intense conflict and introspection along the way. This movie is not only powerful, but both emotional and hilarious, as well. This is the best place to start when exploring Bill’s filmography.

Maggie’s Plan (87%)

Buckle up. If you haven’t heard of Maggie’s Plan before — Well, you’re welcome. This 2015 Rebecca Miller-directed film slipped under the radar for some, but with Greta Gerwig in the titular starring hole of Maggie Hardin, you really can’t go wrong. Bill Hader plays Maggie’s college friend Tony, who has married Maya Rudolph’s Felicia and started a family with her, which convinces Maggie that she should have a child, rather than continuing to pursue love. Worth it if only for seeing Greta Gerwig and Bill Hader share the screen.

Superbad (88%)

An absolute classic! Greg Mottola’s 2007 comedy Superbad was produced by Judd Apatow and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, which is really all you can ask for in a comedy. Well-received and, now, looked back on fondly over a decade after it came out, Superbad features Bill Hader as Officer Slater, one of the two police officers (along with Seth Rogen) who get far too involved in the antics of the teenagers in the movie. In a truly hilarious role, Bill Hader steals the spotlight in every scene he’s in.

Love, Gilda (88%)

Of course, everyone knows Bill Hader got his start on Saturday Night Live after Megan Mullally saw him performing sketch comedy in a backyard and told him that she was going to tell Lorne Michaels about him, which led to an audition (that he improvised!) so impressive that he was hired as a featured player.

It makes sense, then, that as the first male SNL cast member (in 2012) to receive a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series since Eddie Murphy in 1984, that he should speak in a documentary about fellow SNL alum Gilda Radner. This 2018 documentary, directed and co-produced by Lisa Dapolito, explores the life of Gilda Radner, one of the greatest and funniest comedians to grace our screens.

Adventureland (88%)

Back up: Bill Hader has a mustache. In 2009’s Adventureland, yet another coming-of-age film by director Greg Mottola, Bill Hader plays Bobby, the assistant manager at the theme park, Adventureland, that the main character (James, played by Jesse Eisenberg) ends up working at to initiate the plot. Bobby not only has a massive mustache, but he absolutely despises people who litter. He’s also lovingly warm-hearted, and wants to support his employees in any way he can. He’s also deeply in love with his wife, which is great — We love a man who drinks his “love my wife” juice every day!

Knocked Up (90%)

Judd Apatow returns in 2007’s Knocked Up, but in a larger capacity this time: he actually wrote, directed, and co-produced Knocked Up. The movie stars Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl, and Bill Hader appears in, essentially, a guest appearance, but he is hilarious. He mocks Katherine Heigl’s character Alison Scott and does impressions of her, as well as a hilarious impression of Jabba the Hutt dying. He actually brings his Jabba the Hutt impression back in It Chapter 2. Bill Hader isn’t the only hilarious actor to appear in such a brief capacity, either: we also see Kristen Wiig, Alan Tudyk, Ken Jeong, B.J. Novak, Adam Scott, Craig Robinson, and countless other famous actors who actually appear as themselves (like Jessica Alba and Steve Carell)!

Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens (93%)

Many of you are probably surprised to see Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens on this list, but, no, we are not kidding you — Bill Hader is credited in the seventh installment in the Skywalker Saga. Though Bill Hader (far too modestly) said that “anybody could do” what he did, he did some of the voice work for BB-8.

Together with Ben Schwartz, Bill Hader was responsible for providing his voice to a talkbox that director J.J. Abrams then used to create BB-8’s voice. Though Bill is far too modest about his involvement, BB-8 just would not be the same without him or Ben Schwartz.

Her (94%)

Speaking of voice cameos, the expert voice actor Bill Hader makes an appearance in Joaquin Phoenix’s Her, a sci-fi technological-commentary extravaganza written, directed, and produced by Spike Jonze. The movie may star Joaquin Phoenix as the main man, Theodore Twombly, and Scarlett Johansson may play the voice of Samantha (the titular “her”), and the movie may have been nominated for countless Academy Awards (even winning Best Original Screenplay) and Golden Globes (again, winning Best Screenplay), but the real star is Bill Hader’s two-second voice cameo, where he plays a man pretending to be a woman in a chat room. Joaquin Phoenix skips over him and goes on to — you guessed it — Kristen Wiig instead! Hilariously, Bill Hader’s dad didn’t even know he was in the movie.

Finding Dory (94%)

The long-awaited sequel to 2003’s Finding Nemo, 2016’s Finding Dory, got itself an approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes of 94%, despite having to follow up what many consider to be one of Disney and Pixar’s best movies made to date. The film sees stars Ellen DeGeneres (Dory) and Albert Brooks (Marlin) reprising their roles from the original movie, while the rest of the cast is rounded out with new and hilarious performers like Ed O’Neill, Kaitlin Olson, and Ty Burrell. Bill Hader plays a fish described as a “husband fish” named Stan, and Kate McKinnon plays his “wife fish.” There is literally no better combination than Bill Hader and Kate McKinnon. It is gospel.

Inside Out (98%)

Inside Out is a 2015 film, again created by Disney and Pixar, featuring five personified emotions who live in the mind of a little girl and try to help her through her life after she moves. Bill Hader plays Fear, which he seems to think was a good fit, being that he’s so in touch with his own fear; he even described himself as a “pretty anxious person” who would “have basically a full-on panic attack” before every episode of SNL. Bill Hader also helped write and develop the movie. He understood his character of Fear, and didn’t want him to just be afraid; he made him a well-rounded character, someone to relate to and struggle with, someone to help the anxious out there. As it turns out, Bill Hader’s entire filmography is… pretty much perfect!
