#186. Zoolander
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Movie_poster_zoolander.jpg
Dir: Ben Stiller
Genre: Comedy
Year: 2001

And we're continuing to count down the amazing comedies from my youth that I probably have an unconscious bias toward! Zoolander is in the upper echelon of those films (I believe I only have two left to cover after this) and for good reason. There was no better satire of early 2000s entertainment.

As Zoolander 2 proved, this is the type of movie that could only have worked between 1997ish and 2002ish. Ben Stiller absolutely nails the empty-headed fashion industry type that rose to prominence in this era, which successfully lampoons the people he got to guest star in the movie seemingly without them realizing it.

"Sting's definitely a hero of mine. I don't listen to his music, but the fact that he's making it--I respect that."
