Woody Harrelson's 8 Best Movies, Ranked

Woody plays a madman, a mentor and a zombie hunter with the same grin. These are his 8 best by movie.guru score. The data did the ranking.

Number one made less than every blockbuster here and still beats them.

1. 8
   Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)6.0

   A sequel ten years late that mostly coasts on charm.

   Critics shrugged at 68% on Rotten Tomatoes and the Guru's take is a 5.2. Audiences still beat 62% of movies, because Woody alone is worth the ticket.
2. 7
   Last Breath (2025)6.4

   The best movie on this list that nobody saw.

   Only $21 million domestic for a tight survival thriller critics gave 79%. The Guru likes it more than the crowd does: 6.9 against its 6.4 score.
3. 6
   Seven Psychopaths (2012)6.5

   Messy, loud, and still funnier than most of 2012.

   Martin McDonagh's warmup act hit 82% with critics on a reported $13.5 to $15 million budget. It made only $15 million domestic, a crime this movie would respect.
4. 5
   The Hunger Games (2012)7.8

   Woody's wig did more worldbuilding than the shaky cam.

   $695 million worldwide and an A CinemaScore. But the camera wobbles like it had nine espressos, so the Guru's take is 7.3 against a 7.8 score.
5. 4
   Zombieland (2009)8.1

   The best American zombie comedy ever made. Fight me.

   $102 million worldwide off a reported $23.6 million budget and 89% from critics. An 8.1 score only lands fourth because the three above it are just that strong.
6. 3
   War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)8.4

   Woody plays the villain and still gets outacted by an ape.

   94% on Rotten Tomatoes, 82 on Metacritic, and Andy Serkis in motion capture runs the show. Only $146 million domestic. A lot of you skipped this. Rude.
7. 2
   The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)8.7

   The rare sequel that flat out beats the original.

   An 8.7 score, an A CinemaScore, $869 million worldwide, audiences beating 90% of movies. The Guru knocks it to 8.1 because the back half sprints.
8. 1
   Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)9.3

   A small drama beats every blockbuster Woody ever made.

   Reported budget of $12 to $15 million, a 9.3 score, 88 on Metacritic. The Guru gives it 8.4 because the tone swings get bumpy. Still number one.

$543.19 says someone in the comments demands Zombieland at #1 before lunch.
