10 Best Rowan Atkinson Movies, Ranked According To IMDb
Rowan Atkinson is the ruler of slapstick comedy. He is well known across the globe and his skits have piled up a huge number of views on YouTube. In any case, shockingly enough, his films don’t have very as much approval as his old TV shows, stand-up routines, and one-offs.
Here’s the 10 Best Rowan Atkinson Movies, Ranked According To IMDb.
10. The Johnny English Series – 6.3
Considering that Atkinson played a significant part in the James Bond movie Never Say Never Again, he perfectly followed that up with his very own Bond parody. Taking into account parody movies, in general, don’t have the best standing, the Johnny English movies are for the most part generally well-received and quite consistent too.
Each of the three Johnny English movies sit at a 6.3, and to the satirizing James Bond’s character goes, English is one of the funniest.
9. Mr. Bean’s Holiday (2007) – 6.4
However, there was clearly no rush after the achievement of Bean, a nearly as-great sequel at last came 10 years later. Similarly, as the 1997 movie saw the famous character go abroad and visit the U.S., Mr. Bean’s Holiday follows the character as he goes to France.
8. Rat Race (2001) – 6.4
Rat Race is the biggest Hollywood production Atkinson has been a piece of, as the vast majority of his movies have been generally financed by U.K. studios. Also, that is the reason it’s not a surprise that Rat Race had such a lot of marketing behind it and has the largest budget for an Atkinson-led movie.The film follows a group of individuals who race across the U.S. looking for a jackpot amount of hidden money.
7. Bean (1997) – 6.5
By 1997, the TV show Mr. Bean had turned into a phenomenon in the U.K. Right up ’til today, Mr. Bean is Atkinson’s most iconic role and the character is an important part of U.K. pop culture that he played a significant part in the London 2012 Olympic Games.
6. Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993) – 6.6
A parody of both Apocalypse Now and Rambo, there could have been no better movie to carry Rowan Atkinson into the Hollywood spotlight than Hot Shots! Part Deux.
5. Keeping Mum (2005) – 6.8
To the extent Atkinson’s characters go, Reverend Walter Goodfellow is by far the most normal, however that isn’t saying a lot. There’s enough of Atkinson’s best quality slapstick, yet not such a large amount it, and that may be the reason Keeping Mum is appraised higher than a significant number of the movies based on his over-the-top characters.
4. The Witches (1990) – 6.9
In The Witches, Atkinson plays the hotel manager Mr. Stringer, and it’s the first time the actor turns out to be somewhat of a hero, as he goes around slicing up witches with a meat cleaver. It’s an early indication of Mr. Bean coming to life in the U.S., as Stringer is dressed like the iconic character and has similar body movements.
3. Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994) – 7.1
Keeping Mum isn’t the only movie where Rowan Atkinson portrays a priest, as he shows up in Four Weddings and a Funeral in the robe and collar as well. In fact, Keeping Mum could be viewed as a quasi-sequel to the 1994 film, as Reverend Goodfellow is well-seasoned, while Father Gerald is an anxious trainee.
2. Love Actually (2003) – 7.6
Love Actually is one of the most unapologetically British movies ever, as it features Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, and numerous others, and the Prime Minister is even one of the main characters. Furthermore, in a film this British, it’d be blasphemy not to have Rowan Atkinson feature.
1. The Lion King (1994) – 8.5
The Lion King is one of the highest-rated animated movies ever, and keeping in mind that this is partly down to the beautiful animation and the inspiring narrative, the voice acting can’t be neglected. Atkinson plays Zazu, the comic relief of the movie.
