Jack Black has had a prolific career that includes comedies like Tropic Thunder, romcoms like The Holiday and animated movies like Kung Fu Panda.

He then did a series of small roles — "Demolition Man," "The NeverEnding Story III," a part in "True Romance" that was cut from the final film — but when Bob Odenkirk and David Cross saw Tenacious D perform, they remembered Black from "Bob Roberts," and asked him to appear on their HBO sketch comedy series, "Mr. Show," which launched in 1995.

From awesome animated sagas to rowdy music-making to the truly odd and offbeat, these are the 14 best Jack Black movies of all time.
