Jason Bateman stole young hearts in “Silver Spoons” with Ricky Schroder and as young David Hogan in the TV show that changed it’s name, not once, but twice. (First “Valerie,” then “Valerie’s Family,” then finally, “The Hogan Family.”) ANYWAY, his new movie, The Gift was unexpected and twisted in a good way.

Meanwhile, I thought I’d share some of my favorite Jason Bateman roles that perhaps you haven’t seen or totally forgot about.

What’s your favorite Jason Bateman movie?

Everyone was pleasantly surprised at the comic relief of the commentary. Surprising and hilarious.

[imdb id=”tt0475394″ plot=”short”]

Almost unrecognizable, he’s disgusting and fantastic.

This didn’t get a lot of play (see what I did there?), but it’s a really solid flick, you should check it out.

[imdb id=”tt0889573″ plot=”short”]

This was the perfect role as it epitomizes his on-screen persona. Unbelievably rewatchable.

[imdb id=”tt1433811″ plot=”short”]

A timely and poignant story of communicating in our time. A must see.
