For over fifty years, Steve Martin has delighted audiences. From his beginnings as a stand-up comedian to his status as one of the best comedic actors ever, Martin can generate massive laughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, we will review the best Steve Martin movies and explain why we love them.<\/p>\n

1. All of Me (1984)<\/h2>\n

Body-swap comedy All of Me<\/em> features Martin as a lawyer and aspiring jazz musician, Roger, who, on the morning of his 38th birthday, decides to set aside his musical ambitions to take his law career seriously. To secure a promotion to partner, his boss tasks him to finalize the will of eccentric, terminally ill heiress Edwina (played by Lily Tomlin).<\/p>\n

Edwina doesn\u2019t see her imminent death as the end, though. Instead, she intends to have her soul removed from her body and migrated into that of her stablehand’s young, healthy daughter. But the best-laid plans of the wealthy and eccentric go awry, and her soul winds up sharing space with Roger\u2019s, the two of them now in control of his body and mind.<\/p>\n

We should point out that, as was standard at the time, All of Me<\/em> does contain depictions that weren\u2019t OK then and aren\u2019t OK now. However, this movie still deserves a watch because of the dynamic between Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin. Their back-and-forth banter is a true highlight, as is any scene where Edwina has control of Roger\u2019s body, and the audience sees Steve Martin doing his best Lily Tomlin impersonation.<\/p>\n

2. Roxanne (1987)<\/h2>\n
