5 Best Vin Diesel Movies, According To Ranker

From the cute Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy to the iconic Dom in Fast & Furious, Ranker fans have chosen which Vin Diesel films are the best.

Vin Diesel is back on the big screen with the release of Thor: Love and Thunder on July 8, 2022. And although the actor won’t actually be seen, his role as Groot is beloved.

Diesel has many other films in his list of credits, spanning more than two decades, and fans on Ranker have cast their votes to determine which of Vin Diesel’s movies they feel are the best.

Inevitably, the Fast & Furious installments dominate since the actor is best associated with the series. Certain others, like Guardians of the Galaxy and more, do show up, making it worth checking out which features the average Ranker fan loves to watch Vin Diesel in the most.

5.Fast & Furious (2009)

The fourth installment in the Fast & Furious series saw the reunion of Dom and Brian, both of whom hadn’t shared the screen since the first part. It still features car chases as its primary form of entertainment as in the previous three installments, but Fast & Furious also packs in notable fight sequences.

The movie is about Dom and Brian’s pursuit of the people responsible for the supposed death of Dom’s girlfriend, Letty. Fast & Furious has a soft spot in Vin Diesel fans’ hearts since it marked the time when the actor firmly became an action star and has since continued exclusively releasing films in the genre.

4.F9 (2021)

While there are quite a few cheesy scenes present in F9, it’s something that fans of the series look forward to. F9’s reception proves the staying power of Dominic Toretto, with the character having appeared for 20 years after the first film was released.

F9 brings the revelation of Dom’s brother, Jakob, who is on a mission to place a deadly device in space. The brothers’ conflict and eventual reconciliation are the cruces of the story.

F9 didn’t really change the Fast & Furious template, but it found new ways to up the ante, such as the heroes actually going to space.

3.Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

The sixth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise is where things started going off the rails. It sees Dom reassembling his crew to stop Owen Shaw’s team,

along with his mission of reuniting with the amnesiac Letty who’s working for Shaw. Fast & Furious 6’s plot isn’t the most logical, which helps in keeping the focus on the action.

From Dom leaping over a bridge and saving Letty in midair to the crew taking down an entire plane using their cars, Fast & Furious 6 is pure high-octane entertainment.

Fans like to keep it for their rewatching of the series, as the film carries a fast-paced atmosphere filled with Dom’s trademark stoicism and one-liners.

2.Fast Five (2011)

Routinely ranked among Vin Diesel’s best films, Dominic Toretto took things to a grand stage in Fast Five. The series experienced a shift, moving away from racing-centric stories to a heist theme, with Fast Five featuring Dom assembling his crew to rob a crime boss in Rio de Janeiro.

Fast Five opened up the series to be more accessible to mainstream audiences and the introduction of The Rock as Luke Hobbs brought in millions of viewers. It still represents a peak for the series where both critical and fan reviews are concerned, remaining very watchable over a decade later.

1.The Fast And The Furious (2001)

It’s fitting that the film that started Vin Diesel’s rise to the A-list is the favorite of Ranker fans. The Fast and the Furious definitely feels small in scale now, given how far the protagonists have gone since. But watching Dom at his roots and the beginning of his friendship with Brian has its own appeal.

The Fast and the Furious is about Brian’s infiltration of Dom’s crew to find proof of their illegal dealings, only to become part of the team for real. Where it lacks in the big-budget scenes the sequels have in abundance, the first entry more than makes up in charm and the performances of the cast.
