- The Jungle Book. The first of Favreau's classic Disney remakes, 2016's "The Jungle Book" is not only the better of the two but also overall his best movie.
- Chef. After the science-fiction and comic book adventures of "Zathura" and "Iron Man," Favreau returned his comedy roots with 2014 foodie dramedy "Chef."
- Elf. "Elf" has been a holiday classic ever since it came out in 2003. It's only Favreau's second film, and it still holds up as one of his best (and possibly weirdest).
- Iron Man. 2008 was an important year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe: That year, the very first movie of what would become a 25-film series (so far) was released.

Before hopping into ranking his feature films, we had to at least give respect to the impact that his new series The Mandalorian has made to both TV and Star Wars. Favreau is the lead creative showrunner and producer on the project and directed "Chapter 9: The Marshal" in 2020. The Mandalorian, being the first live-action Star Warsseries, is pushin...
Though not directed by Favreau, Swingers remains potentially the most significant movie of his career. It was written and co-produced by him and he also starred in the lead role, catapulting him, his co-star Vince Vaughn, and director/cinematographer Doug Liman into bankable fame. The movie follows Favreau's struggling actor and comedian as they tr...
Based on the graphic novel, Cowboys & Aliens comes in at the bottom of Favreau's films in terms of overall quality. On paper, the premise feels tailor-made for someone like Favreau, and perhaps if he was to tackle it today it would have suited him better. But the movie ended up messy for many movie fans. Tonally the film is all over the place, with...
After the huge success of The Jungle Book, Disney and Favreau decided to double down and bring his revolutionary technology to their other biggest animal-themed property with The Lion King. RELATED: Disney's Live-Action Remakes, Ranked By Worldwide Box Office The movie just trudges along as a lesser version of the original, losing nearly all the ch...
Made stands as Jon Favreau's directorial debut, reteaming alongside his Swingers co-star Vince Vaughnto lead. The movie is actually a solid little action-comedy, but that's about it. In terms of directorial debuts, there have been worse, but there have also been much better. The movie is absolutely fine, and in terms of size, it is the perfect firs...
Jon Favreau changed superhero movies forever with the first Iron Man movie in 2008. When it came to the sequel, instead of innovating, Favreau doubled down and did more of the same (except a little bit worse). There's a lot to like about this movie though, and it remains an enjoyable watch. RELATED: 5 Reasons Why Iron Man 2 Isn’t As Bad As People S...
When people think of killer board games, they normally think of the beloved Jumanji or the far less enjoyed Ouji franchise. One that has remained an underrated outlier is Zathura. This film is just a ton of fun and was based on the book of the same name by the creator of Jumanji. The entire thing is an excellent children's fantasy adventure, featur...
Chefis perhaps the simplest film that Favreau has ever made, but that makes it one of his best. The film felt like a recentering of Favreau as a filmmaker, with him playing the lead role of Carl Casper, an acclaimed chef who calls it quits at his famous restaurant to pursue the simple creative beauty of a food truck. The film is full of heart, humo...
For many, Elf is their favorite Christmas movie ever. We don't blame them, because the movie is full of heart and Christmas spirit. but, that's not why it succeeds. The movie is a genuinely funny comedy and served up arguably Will Ferrell's greatest performance. RELATED: Elf: 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About Making The Classic Christmas Movie But the...
Before Iron Man, comic book movies were far more likely to be disappointments. This movie, along with The Dark Knightchanged it all. This movie, in particular, has made far more of an impact on the world of film and pop culture than probably anything else in recent memory. Iron Man took an obscure comic book character and made him more of a househo...

- Cowboys And Aliens (2011) 6.0. Cowboys and Aliens wasn't exactly well-received when it first released. Despite the massive stars attached to the project, it failed to make a big impact at the box office.
- Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) 6.2. Zathura: A Space Adventure is the spiritual successor to Jumanji and is seemingly set within the same universe. It's probably one of the most underrated projects from Favreau's filmography and was a great testing ground for him to develop techniques for future films.
- Made (2001) 6.4. Made is a movie that's almost forgotten from Favreau's past and yet it's really the movie that gave him his big start as a director. He'd put together TV movies before this, but this was his first, full-fledged feature film.
- The Lion King (2019) 6.9. One of Jon Favreau's most recent productions was lauded for its beautiful cinematography and technological advancements, although many people questioned the need to bring The Lion King back to screens, when the original was so perfect.
