From a professional skateboarder to a filmmaker, Bam Margera has explored many different fields over the years. The 45-year-old first gained recognition after appearing on Jackass, a popular slapstick comedy show that became a hit among young audiences. Bam Margera is mostly remembered for his on-screen performances, but he also has experience in directing, editing, and writing.
In the last few years, Bam Margera's name has made it to the headlines several times, but most of it wasn't related to his content; instead, it shed light on his recurring issues with alcoholism and drug use. The same was cited as the main reason behind his termination from Jackass Forever (2022). Despite recent controversies, many fans continue to support Bam Margera.
In this list, we shortlist some of the best Bam Margera movies that showcase his varied talents and sense of humor.

Jackass: The Movie, Jackass 3D, and five other Bam Margera movies that will keep viewers entertained
1) Jackass: The Movie (2002)
Jackass: The Movie, directed by Jeff Tremaine, is a continuation of the TV show, and so, fans of the original will find plenty to laugh about. Unsurprisingly, the cast features many familiar faces, including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Steve-O, and more.
In the movie, Knoxville and his buddies perform several daring stunts and outrageous pranks to elicit laughter from the audience. There are comedy movies that convey subtle messages, but Jackass: The Movie doesn't want its audience to put their thinking caps on, even for a moment.
It is true that Jackass: The Movie isn't for everyone, as it contains several brazen and cringeworthy moments; however, fans of Bam Margera, who loved him in the show, will certainly enjoy seeing him in similar scenarios.
Where to watch: Jackass: The Movie is available for streaming on Apple TV+ and Prime Video.
2) Grind (2003)
Given that this movie by Casey La Scala boasts a narrative with a heavy influence of skateboarding, it is only natural for it to feature Bam Margera. In the lead are Adam Brody, Mike Vogel, Joey Kern, and Vince Vieluf.
The story revolves around four aspiring skateboarders who are willing to do anything to impress Jimmy Wilson, a pro skateboarding legend, in the hopes of getting skateboarding sponsorships. In this comedy, Bam Margera plays himself.
As expected from the premise, this movie is best suited for viewers genuinely interested in the action sport, as it boasts several noteworthy skateboarding sequences. While it is true that the characters display some common stereotypes associated with skateboarders, they are still interesting enough to keep viewers invested in their dreams of becoming professional skateboarders.
Where to watch: Grind is available to stream on Prime Video and Apple TV+.
3) Haggard: The Movie (2003)
Bam Margera not only acts in Haggard: The Movie, but he also takes on the mantle of director, in addition to writing and editing responsibilities. Based on Ryan Dunn's real-life experiences, the film follows the title character, Ryan (Dunn), who suspects that his ex-girlfriend Glauren (Jenn Rivell) is seeing someone else. So, he enlists the help of his best friends to get to the bottom of the truth.
In the movie, Margera plays Ryan's friend, Valo. The main highlight of Haggard: The Movie is the zany characters, who help add a special zing to an otherwise simple screenplay. The scenes with Ryan and Valo certainly stand out. Because of their off-screen friendship, the dynamic between their on-screen character seems realistic and relatable, which adds to the overall vibe of the film.
Where to watch: Haggard: The Movie can be streamed on Plex.
4) Jackass Number Two (2006)
The sequel to Jackass: The Movie (2002), this movie by Jeff Tremaine follows the same format as its predecessor. It is primarily a compilation of hilarious stunts, pranks, and skits performed by the usual suspects, including Bam Margera, Johnny Knoxville, Ryan Dunn, Dave England, Chris Pontius, and others. Jackass Number Two also features several guest stars like Tony Hawk, Luke Wilson, and more.
The titles in the Jackass film series, Jackass Number Two included, have no plot or structure whatsoever, but they are still interesting to watch because of the creative stunts. The audience cannot help but be surprised at how the performers on screen continually put their lives at risk to make them laugh.
Jackass Number Two will particularly appeal to viewers seeking humorous content with a "no holds barred" tag.
Where to watch: Jackass Number Two is available on Apple TV+.
5) Minghags: The Movie (2009)
Many assume that Minghags: The Movie by Bam Margera is a sequel to Haggard: The Movie, but there is very little connection between the narratives, save for two elements: the garbage juicer and the diamond mountain bike. In this movie, two pals, Bam Margera's Lenny and Brandon DiCamillo's Ponce, set out to take revenge on a billionaire named Rut Ru, who claims the garbage juicer invention as his own.
It has been established that Bam Margera has a knack for directing silly movies, and Minghags: The Movie is certainly one of them. This isn't a movie that the audience should watch for the plot. Instead, the point is to indulge in the absurdities of the characters and the situations they find themselves in.
It isn't always easy for filmmakers to make memorable movies with a limited budget, but Margera finds a way to make it work.
Where to watch: Minghags: The Movie can be streamed on MUBI and Plex.
6) Jackass 3D (2010)
The third installment in the Jackass film series, Jackass 3D, directed by Jeff Tremaine, holds special significance for fans because it is the last Jackass film to feature Ryan Dunn before his tragic death in 2011. In addition to Dunn, the film also features Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Dave England, and many more.
Even though 3D movies have gained popularity over the years, very few would have associated the format with the amplification of silly stunts and pranks. However, the Jackass team certainly saw the potential, which ultimately resulted in impressive box office collections reaching $171.7 million.
The central aspect of the Jackass film series that keeps fans coming back is the boisterous team. Their dynamics will remind viewers of a dysfunctional family who are very different from each other but still manages to work together as a team.
Where to watch: Jackass 3D is available for streaming on Prime Video.
7) Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine (2017)
Unlike all the other titles on this list, this Bam Margera movie has a well-structured narrative that seeks to educate its audience. Directed by Patrick O'Dell, this documentary examines the rise and fall of Big Brother, a skateboarding magazine founded by Steve Rocco in 1992.
The magazine plays a significant role in skateboarding history, as it helped popularize street skating and had a profound impact on the skateboarding subculture in numerous ways. Another reason it gained fame is that it would often contain articles about taboo topics.
Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine not only features insightful interviews with the creators and editors of the magazine but also includes many skate culture personalities, such as Bam Margera, who share their thoughts about the magazine and its impact on the youth.
Where to watch: Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine can be viewed on Hulu and Apple TV+.
These Bam Margera starrers are perfect for curious fans who want to see the well-known skateboarder, stunt performer, and filmmaker in various roles.
