By IMDb user rating, Zootopia leads the Jason Bateman films identified in the available ranking results at 8.0/10. Up in the Air, Juno and Air each show 7.4/10. Those figures are a snapshot dated October 7, 2026—not an official IMDb verdict or a verified top ten. The available ratings do not establish a complete, consistently sorted list of ten eligible feature films, so presenting ten titles as a definitive ranking would overstate the evidence.
How to read this IMDb ranking
“Greatest” here means highest IMDb user rating, not a judgment issued by IMDb’s editors. IMDb’s Jason Bateman Movies Ranked is a community-created list; another IMDb list notes that community lists are not reviewed or verified by IMDb. A member’s chosen list order is not the same as sorting every eligible film by rating.
The eligible subject is a feature film in which Bateman has an acting credit, including voice acting. This excludes television series, shorts and films where his only credit is as a producer or director. The figures below are displayed IMDb user ratings from results returned on October 7, 2026. Ratings and vote totals can change; no vote totals are included because the available snapshots differed.
Highest-rated films established by the available results
| Film | Release year | IMDb user rating | Bateman’s role and film type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zootopia | 2016 | 8.0/10 | Voice role as Nick Wilde; animated adventure comedy |
| Up in the Air | 2009 | 7.4/10 | Supporting cast; comedy-drama |
| Juno | 2007 | 7.4/10 | Supporting cast; comedy-drama |
| Air | 2023 | 7.4/10 | Supporting cast; sports-business drama |
These are the titles and ratings surfaced together in the searched IMDb ranking excerpt, rather than a claim that they are a complete ranking of Bateman’s filmography. The three films at 7.4/10 are tied at the displayed precision; their order here is not a tie-break.
#1 Best Overall
What makes these four films worth considering
Zootopia (2016): the clear rating leader
At 8.0/10, Zootopia is the highest-rated film in the available excerpt. Bateman voices Nick Wilde, a cynical fox drawn into a case with Judy Hopps, a rookie bunny police officer. Their investigation uncovers a conspiracy, giving the animated film a buddy-mystery structure as well as its comedy. It is the choice here for viewers seeking Bateman in a prominent voice role rather than on-screen acting.
Up in the Air (2009): workplace drama on the move
George Clooney plays Ryan, whose job takes him around the country to deliver layoffs. Bateman appears in the supporting cast in a story that shifts when the company considers replacing in-person firings with video conferences. Its 7.4/10 places it level with Juno and Air in this snapshot.
Rank #2
Juno (2007): an offbeat comedy-drama
Juno follows a sharp-witted young woman facing an unplanned pregnancy. Bateman is among the cast in this ensemble comedy-drama, which balances the lead character’s dry humor with consequential choices. Its displayed IMDb rating is 7.4/10.
Air (2023): the business behind a sports partnership
This drama tells the story of the partnership between Michael Jordan and Nike’s basketball division. Bateman is part of the cast; the film’s focus is the business history behind a sports brand and its consequential deal, rather than a conventional account of on-court competition. IMDb’s displayed user rating is 7.4/10.
Other Bateman films appearing in an IMDb community list
A separate user-created list titled Top 10 Jason Bateman Movies includes the following films and ratings in its displayed selection. The list itself is not sorted as a verified rating ranking, so these entries should not be treated as the next four places in a definitive top ten.
| Film | Release year | IMDb user rating shown | What kind of film it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disconnect | 2012 | 7.5/10 | Drama |
| State of Play | 2009 | 7.1/10 | Political thriller |
| Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story | 2004 | 6.7/10 | Comedy |
| Horrible Bosses | 2011 | 6.9/10 | Comedy |
The 7.5/10 shown for Disconnect is higher than the 7.4/10 values for the three tied films above. But these values come from different IMDb result contexts, and the available material does not establish one complete, same-session rating set across all eligible feature credits. That is why these entries are presented as additional films, not silently inserted into a supposedly complete order.

IMDb’s filmography includes multiple kinds of work, and the available results do not provide a complete, normalized set of feature-film acting credits and ratings captured together. Without that consistent set, there is no sound basis for assigning exact places one through ten, resolving ties, or claiming the ten titles above—or any ten selected from these partial results—are Bateman’s highest-rated films overall. IMDb ratings are also mutable, so a ranking can shift as users rate films.
For a reliable top ten, the method would be to identify every eligible feature-film acting credit on IMDb, capture each displayed user rating in one session, sort the results by rating, and state how ties are handled. Until that same-snapshot comparison is available, the supported conclusion is narrower: Zootopia leads the identified ranking excerpt, while Up in the Air, Juno and Air share the next displayed rating.
