SARAH'S PICKS (in ascending order)
3.) Knocked Up

Yeah, I suppose Heigl is also kinda funny but….she's really not. All of the funny in this movie happens around her but doesn't necessarily involve her. This is all totally fine with me because I love the way that the supporting cast is just as funny as the main characters. It was a creative look at a different kind of family and definitely one that we own and watch when we're looking for a funny.
2.) 50/50

He tries to keep a sunny face on it the whole time which pisses Adam off because he thinks Kyle doesn't care. But then there is a scene - one that Rogen's not even in it - where Adam finds out that Kyle has been reading up on his cancer and anything he can do to make it all easier. It's heartbreaking and touching all at once. What made this movie so special was the fact that Rogen was willing to relive this terrible point in his life so his friend's story could be told. It really shows a different side of Rogen and, I think, made him more of an actor to take seriously.
3.) Paul

The animation and motion capture in this film was really taken to the next level and it really seems like Pegg and Frost are talking to a little green man that just happens to sound exactly like Seth Rogen. You get your Rogen comedy paired with the dry British humor of Frost and Pegg; it's just a winner in any book. And don't forget Jason Bateman, Bill Hader and Joe Lo Truglio (who I have gained a better appreciation for since watching him on FOXs Brooklyn Nine-Nine)! They are a great addition as the agents hunting down Paul. And what alien movie is complete without a Sigourney Weaver appearance?! It was the perfect touch! There just isn't anything wrong with this movie! OK, that could just be me with my blinders on but I truly think this is a great movie and I love it.
ANDREW'S PICKS (in descending order)
Andrew: Those are all great picks, and it was VERY tough for me the whittle this list down to just three. I have to give honorable mention to Paul, but here are my three favorite Seth Rogen films.

I also give Rogen tons of credit for co-writing and co-directing the film as this film could've totally gone off the rails, but it's actually rather well-made and handles all the different actors and scenarios, the intimate setting and the grand CGI spectacles very well. The rewatchability of This Is The End is quite high, which also helps it nab my top spot.

A: While not a straight up comedy - it’s more of a drama with some comedic elements - 50/50 takes the third spot on my list even though Rogen’s only a supporting character. Based on the true life story of Rogen’s friend Will Reiser (who wrote the film) and his battle with cancer, Rogen plays the best friend to Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Aaron, the film version of Reiser. It’s not a huge part but Rogen plays both the comedic and dramatic parts perfectly for what is needed.
But more than anything 50/50 is this high up on my list because of the strong cast (JGL, Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Huston, Bryce Dallas Howard) and their ability to convey the trials that a cancer battle bring for not only the afflicted but their friends, family and support staff. It’s very emotional and everyone nails it here. I don’t think this movie gets enough credit, honestly. If you’ve never seen it do yourself a favor and check it out. (Bonus points for Rogen for co-producing it and, like Sarah said, doing a great job conveying what it must’ve been like to actually go through his friend’s battle.)

I really like Seth Rogen. Just his presence, his delivery, his laugh. It's a complete comedic package for me. I'd also throw out Pineapple Express although Franco steals the show there and Observe & Report which might not be the best but Rogen is really damn good and different in it.
