How to Have a Will Ferrell Movie Marathon

Born in July 1967, Will Ferrell has been making audiences laugh since the 1990s. On "Saturday Night Live" from 1998 to 2001, Ferrell and Chris Kattan took their SNL characters Doug and Steve Butabi to the big screen in the 1998 comedy "Night at the Roxbury." In a variety of comedic roles since then, the best way to laugh with Will Ferrell is to have a movie marathon in his honor.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Watch the 1998 comedy "Night at the Roxbury." Christ Kattan and Will Ferrell star as Doug and Steve Butabi, two brothers who dream of opening their own nightclub.

Co-stars include Molly Shannon, Dan Hedaya, Meredith Scott Lynn and Elisa Donovan.

2. Watch the 1999 comedy "Superstar." Another SNL-sketch-turned-movie showcases nerdy Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon) dreaming of superstardom. Ferrell plays Sky Corigan, the object of Mary Katherine's affection.

Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom (Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick) team up to formulate a get-rich-quick scheme to make more money with a Broadway flop and a Broadway hit.
