## Summary

Collider has published a ranked list of the ten essential Vince Vaughn films, celebrating the actor's evolution from a "Frat Pack" comedy star of the early 2000s into a versatile performer who has since taken on independent thrillers and streaming work. The piece argues Vaughn's talent for playing fast-talking, charismatic characters has kept him relevant across two decades, spanning broad studio comedies, horror and buddy-cop satire.

The countdown begins at number ten with the article citing several entries so far:
- No. 10: "Old School" (2003) — Todd Phillips's raunchy underdog comedy that helped define Vaughn's onscreen persona alongside Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell
- No. 9: "Freaky" (2020) — an underrated horror-comedy body-swap film with Kathryn Newton, overshadowed by its pandemic-era release
- No. 8: "Starsky & Hutch" (2004) — Phillips's buddy-cop spoof starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, with Vaughn in a supporting role
