Every Will Smith Movie Ranked Worst To Best

3. Men In Black (1997)

King Richard
Columbia Pictures

Six Degrees of Separation promised big things, Independence Day made him a star, but it was with Men In Black that Will Smith's rise from cheesy rapper to powerhouse A-lister was complete.

For all his fantastic dramatic work, this is the film fans will always return to when remembering how brilliant Smith works at his funniest. From his hilarious odd couple chemistry with Tommy Lee Jones to his endearing awkwardness and eventual badassery, Smith owns every second of Men In Black without fault.

Smooth and sarcastic, out of place and witty without equal, this is Smith firing on all cylinders, in a rare film that just gets funnier and more comforting every time you watch it.
