Most people who grew up in the ’90s (or are fans of slacker comedies) have seen Clerks. If you’re not an avid Kevin Smith fan, you might not have even realized there was a Clerks 2. Well, there was, and it came out in 2006. That’s not all that is going to blow your mind. There’s a Clerks 3, and it’s coming out on Sept. 13.
But Smith doesn’t just direct Clerk-centric films. He’s had a whole slew of projects since the first Clerks movie came out way back in 1994. And, in honor of the third installment of the franchise, we thought it would be appropriate to rank some of his best movies. Keep scrolling to see if your favorite made the list.
Kevin Smith Movies Ranked
-
8. 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot'
It’s more mindless shenanigans from Jay and Silent Bob. But surprisingly this sequel is actually superior to the original.
-
7. 'Red State'
Kevin Smith usually sticks to comedies and movies like Tusk show us why. Red State, on the other hand, was a decent, scary movie about a trio of horny teens who get tricked by a fire and brimstone preacher.
-
6. 'Clerks 2'
Dante and Randal are entering their 30s and things start to change. For one, they lose their jobs and end up working at a fast-food restaurant.
-
5. 'Mallrats'
In the simplest terms, T.S. and Brodie take a trip to the mall after they get dumped by their girlfriends. Somehow, hilarity ensues.
-
4. 'Chasing Amy'
Holden and Banky are best friends who also write a comic book. When Holden falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a lesbian, things get strange. The first half of the movie is much better than the second half.
-
3. 'Zach and Miri Make a Porno'
Zach and Miri are friends and roommates who have very little money and no real aim in life. That is, until they decide to make a porno together.
-
2. 'Dogma'
Two fallen angels are on a trip through the U.S. en route to New Jersey where they believe they’ll be able to return to heaven again. Cue hijinks.
-
1. 'Clerks'
The movie that started it all is still the best of the bunch. This low-budget classic centers around a man named Dante who takes an extra shift at a New Jersey convenience store.
