My Top Steve Martin Movies In Order

TOP TIER...

1. The Jerk

2. Planes, Trains

3. Man With 2 Brains

After that nothing really stands out sadly... I love Steve Martin, but that love is pretty much based on just 6-8 movies (and subsequent chat show appearances), and his old stand up.

Also, apart from Bowfinger, he had pretty much done all his good stuff by 1992.
