Rodney Dangerfield had plenty of memorable roles, but which were his 10 best? IMDb provides the answer

Rodney Dangerfield was a comedic actor, known for his roles in films such as Caddyshack and Back to School. He was a popular stand-up comedian, especially with his catchphrase, "I don't get no respect!" Dangerfield brought several laughs for different generations, and lent his voice to Rover Dangerfield, which he also wrote the screenplay for.

Dangerfield was talented in more ways than one, and that's demonstrated by his 10 best films, as determined by IMDb - perfect for a binge watch of some classic comedy.

10 Rover Dangerfield (6.0)

Dangerfield lent his voice to the animated character of Rover, a dog whose owner is a showgirl in Las Vegas. Rover has everything he could ever want, until his owner's boyfriend decides to toss him over Hoover Dam. In a whirlwind of events, Rover ends up on a farm (of all places), and though he initially has trouble adjusting, he falls in love and finds that farm life may just be what he needs.

9 Casper (6.1)

Casper befriends the daughter of paranormal therapist James Harvey (Bill Pullman), and the two help each other out, as they both longed for a friend. Meanwhile, James is busy trying to connect with Casper's three mean uncles who promise they can get James' dead wife so he can see her, provided he can get Carrigan, who inherited Whipstaff Manor and is seeking an alleged treasure within, to leave them alone. Dangerfield makes a cameo appearance when James is washing his face, appearing in the mirror, along with cameos from Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson in the same scene.

8 The Onion Movie (6.2)

At the center of the film is anchorman Norm Archer, played by Blue Bloods' Len Cariou. The film features various comedy sketches and parodies, with plenty of laughs in store for its audience.

Occasionally the film features fictional film reviewers, who tend to interrupt. Rodney Dangerfield appeared as himself, which was perfect for this sarcastic film. Michael Bolton also appears as himself and Steven Seagal plays a parody of an action hero.

7 Moving (6.2)

In this 1988 film starring Richard Pryor as an engineer named Arlo Pear who moves his family cross-country, Dangerfield plays the role of a loan officer that has a penchant for embezzlement. Nothing has gone right for Arlo since he decided to move his family, and when he and his wife go to visit Dangerfield for a loan on their new home, it's quite an unconventional meeting as Dangerfield confesses he embezzles money and the money for their home depends on the winning of a horse, so they hilariously cheer on the race alongside Dangerfield.

6 Easy Money (6.3)

Monty (Dangerfield) learns there's no such thing as "easy money" when his rich mother-in-law suddenly dies. He stands to inherit a fortune, provided he gives up gambling, drinking, and goes on a diet, as his mother-in-law hated his lifestyle. Naturally, there are naysayers, and a particular family member that wants to inherit everything for himself, but Monty takes on the challenge anyway, determined to be able to provide for his family. Monty succeeds, and though it turns out his mother-in-law was never deceased, he inherits the money anyway as he held up his end... for the most part.

5 Sea World And Busch Garden Adventures: Alien Vacation! (6.5)

This special features Rodney Dangerfield exercising his comedic chops alongside Full House's Dave Coulier. The two play aliens that check out human and animal interaction at both Busch Gardens and Sea World, providing plenty of laughs with the experience.

The pairing of the two talented comedians makes the special worth watching.

4 Back To School (6.7)

Dangerfield plays Thornton Melon, a father that enlists in college to encourage his son to stay in school. At first, his son Jason enjoys Thornton being around, as Thornton helps his son's popularity increase among other things, but Jason quickly grows tired of his father's frequent partying and his lack of desire to complete his assignments himself, as he has people doing the assignments for him. Thornton gets a big lesson in academic integrity and does the right thing, earning his son's trust and respect back.

3 Natural Born Killers (7.3)

Dangerfield played a sadistic role as Juliette Lewis' character Mallory's abusive father in this Tarantino film. Mallory is one-half of the murdering couple that, while having suffered seriously traumatic childhoods, grew up to be monsters themselves. Dangerfield's character was disgusting and obviously perverted, and no doubt contributed to what his daughter would become. Mallory and Mickey may be committed in conducting brutal murders, but they're not always committed to one another, if their mutual infidelity is anything to go by.

2 Caddyshack (7.3)

Undoubtedly one of Dangerfield's best-known roles, he plays Al Czervik, a loud and rich man that continuously annoys Smails, who is the co-founder of the country club in the film. Czervik frequently infuriates Smails, which is one of the funniest elements of the film, as Czervik manages to destroy Smails' boat, and insults his wardrobe, before quickly adding, "Oh, it looks good on you though!"

Czervik ultimately wins a bet against Smails, along with the help of Danny and Chevy Chase's Ty Webb.

1 The Killing (8.0)

This 1956 cinematic gem is of the film noir genre. Criminal Johnny Clay wishes to pull off one last heist before he marries Fay, and while the bank heist is successful, the aftermath is nothing like he had envisioned, given he loses his stolen money and turns himself over to the authorities, ultimately defeated. Dangerfield played an onlooker in the film; it's not a bad start to Dangerfield's career, considering the film was directed by Stanley Kubrick, who would go on to direct The Shining.
