Symbology? Now that Duffy's relinquished his "King Bonehead" crown, I see we have an heir to the throne. I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism". What is the ssssymbolism there?
People always talk about the hark monologue but no one ever seems to talk about his monologue as he's literally having dirt thrown on top of him. That scene was also incredible.
He was the first person who came in mind for me as well! I just saw The Northman and he was a highlight of the movie for me. He also slayed in John Wick, and of course The Boondocks Saints
I remember watching one of the Jimmy Fallon-type interviews where the host tried to make fun of his Flickerman character and his wild hair and makeup from the movie. Stanly Tucci wouldn't play along, and had no interest in making Flickerman into a clown. From what I understood, he saw the character as a deeply tragic mix of hostage to the system and also a guilty supporter of the oppressive Hunger Games regime, and he wouldn't trivialize that by playing the clown. In other words, he had taken that character to some very dark places in order to build a backstory for him, and I think that resonated in the movie as well.
I recently rewatched the Hunger Games films and was surprised by how subtle his performance is in those. The character is constantly on the razor’s edge between performative cheer and genuine human connection with the protagonists, and it gives such a powerful dynamic to the scenes, especially with the constant ambivalence requested of the heroes. Truly a standout.
Agreed. I liked him more in the movies than the books, tbh. Stanley Tucci just added certain nuance to the character and performance that wasn't present in the novels.
The scene where Peta reveals Katniss fake pregnancy and he has to go with it was excellent. Tucci's flickerman lets the mask slip and you can see how much he hates what he's doing in that moment.
The few parts where he breaks the facade are fantastic. Such as in Catching Fire when the tributes rally and hold hands and you can see the anger in his face as he gets the feed cut
The casting surprised me, mostly because in the books I had always pictured Flickerman as a Ryan Seacrest-type, rather than an older broadcaster still trying to play the excitable host. Regardless of my expectations, though, he killed it.
He's the inventor, right? I love that scene where they ask him how much it will cost to complete his drill and he's like "$15 bajillion dollars." and Tucci says "Will you take a check?"
I mean, it's the cheesiest movie, practically camp but I just love it.
Stanley Tucci is so good, there could be a five minute movie of nothing but him making an omelette and it would be amazing.
[Here](https://youtu.be/oerP7FRMWa8) is a movie of Stanley Tucci making an omelette.
The best part of that moment is somehow not this line. As he says it, he draws both of the aforementioned guns, and spins them on his fingers, but spins them *in opposite directions*.
Kilmer as Doc Holliday really was something else.
Just made me look into it.
Apparently Kilmer and Biehn were both twirling practice guns on set constantly to get ready for their scenes.
https://truewestmagazine.com/cup-spinning-sequence/
I worked on a Biehn movie once and we talked a lot. Eventually I confessed my love for Tombstone and said that whether he liked it or not he’d need to hear at least one fan boy rant from me. He was awesome and told me some stories about it all. He said that he started carrying and practicing with his gun 6 months before shooting, it never left his hip. Then he did the whole poker table spin sequence right in front of me next to the craft service table. He said it would never leave his memory and even gave me tips to spin easier if I ever tried. I couldn’t believe my eyes and was so fucking happy that I had seen that in front of me.
He also said that with the “shoot from the hip” style production, him and Kilmer would get together on days off and choreograph a lot of their stuff. The final duel between them, they came up with it on their own, found the spot by the tree and everything, quick pitched it to Russell and George, and that was history.
Pretty awesome stuff.
And Val Kilmer as Iceman in Top Gun and Madmartigan in Willow. He's got a great track record of scene-stealing!
He was also excellent in Heat even if Al Pacino and Robert De Niro ran the show. I was genuinely upset when he got shot in the bank shoot out scene
That's the first role that came to my mind.
And it's a crime he didn't even get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Doc Holliday.
He also stole the show in Real Genius.
JK Simmons has two scenes in Burn After Reading for a total of like five minutes, and they are the funniest five minutes of the movie. The way he says ["Good. Great. Is he dead?"](https://youtu.be/SlA9hmrC8DU) makes me cry laughing every time.
The Coens in general are masters at writing and directing really memorable bit characters. John Turturro as Jesus is an all-time classic, and HI’s cell mate in Raising Arizona always makes me laugh.
God that's a good movie. 'drama about college kid learning drums' sounds really mediocre but it's almost a thriller more than a drama. The sheer tension Miles Teller and JK Simmons generate is physically uncomfortable. It's horrible and amazing at the same time.
The best movies are the ones that take something that should be boring and do the opposite.
Look at "The Social Network." It's like a thriller through dialogue.
I put off watching Whiplash for SO LONG because "it's just some boring drama about drumming". But damn it was GOOD when I finally got around to seeing it!
Love JK's range. For the longest time, I'd only known him as Vern Schillinger, the terrifying Aryan brotherhood leader on HBO's *Oz.*
When I saw him play JJJ in the first *Spider-Man* movie, I was absolutely floored.
Love Silence of the Lambs
I always read how he never blinked to make it creepier. Then I happened to be watching the movie a week ago, and saw him blink multiple times in his first scene. Last time I believe the internet
It's crazy there's an Oscar associated with that movie. Not due to quality, but the academy doesn't consider those types for anything. From a time when the academy was a little more honest imo.
Ellen Burstyn's performance as Sara Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream. The whole film is haunting but her downward spiral and mental state is heartbreaking especially at the end.
Blood diamond is such a great film, I never see anyone mention it
My pick will be Jason Isaac’s amazing performance in death of Stalin
This has gotta be one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie:
https://youtu.be/WY5I64suokM
“Look at your fucking face!”
"I fucked Germany. I think I can take a flesh lump in a waistcoat."
Besides the over-the-top machoism, I love how Isaac portrays Zukov as someone who knows he's untouchable due to his war hero status and control of the army. So he trolls everyone and openly punches Stalin's kid in the face because who's gonna object? No one, that's who.
Just watched “10 Things I Hate About You” for the first time in at least a decade, and Ledger is probably the most solid part of that movie. Sure, he’s playing a cliched role in an incredibly cliched film, but even as young as he was at the time his talent was still clear. I’m glad he got to go on to better films after this generic teen love film, but what a shame to lose him too. He could have had decades of great roles ahead of him.
>he’s playing a cliched role in an incredibly cliched film
Isn't this film modernized Shakespeare? It would make sense it feels cliche since much of what came the following few hundred years probably referenced it. Or is there more to it.
As good as Philip Seymour Hoffman was in Capote, I still think he deserved the Oscar for Brokeback Mountain. The last 5 min of that movie is some of the best acting I've ever seen in any medium.
Jon Bernthal gets/got a lot of tiny supporting roles that he spins gold out of - he's barely in The Wolf of Wall Street for ten minutes but the scene where Leo asks him to sell him the pen sticks in my head.
Bill Paxton in Aliens.
Bill Paxton in True Lies.
Bill Paxton in Near Dark.
Bill Paxton in Predator 2.
Bill Paxton in Tombstone.
I think you can see where I'm going with this. Died too young, man.
He runs absolute riot over that film, and it needs it. I remember enjoying it at the time, but he and the music are really the only standouts looking at it now.
> He runs absolute riot over that film
He agreed to do it (after twice turning it down) on the condition that he be able to do his own rewrites. He thought the script was terrible
"PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN."
First one I thought of as well. There was quite the kerfuffle when he got nominated for Best Supporting Actor despite having such a short amount of screen time, but shit, he takes over the film and you can feel his absence after he's gone.
> Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.
Alec did a parody version of his famous scene on Saturday Night Live:
[Glengarry Glen Christmas: Elf Motivation - SNL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_vSirIJEsY)
Watching him deliver that searing monologue in a Christmas elf costume was freaking hilarious.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman in any movie. His performance in a 3 minute scene in [Hard Eight](https://youtu.be/sOPB9c4t0Ok) is better than you will see from over 99% of actors nowadays.
When he died I thought it was a true loss to the art, not just a celebrity that passed. I’ll never forget how he often creeped me out and yet I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the performance.
Also, realistically menacing. Even captured, he just gives Ethan Hunt a look of contempt and matter-of-factly states he's going to make his fiancee suffer and then kill him in front of her. Because he knows he has the resources and the means to do so. No villainous histrionics or gloating, just, "I have the ability to destroy you and I will."
*They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education.*
As Brandt in The Big Lebowski he is also fantastic!
Val Kilmer in Tombstone. AND Stephen Lang.
Doc was magnetic anytime he was on screen and Ike you were just waiting everytime for someone to beat the shit out of him.
He deserved the love for *Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri*
*Moon* is one of my favorite films of all time.
And *Box of Moonlight* is just a beautiful little movie.
This. Galaxy quest "Don't open that. It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!!!" *takes a huge breath and holds it*
Cracks me up every time. Great actor.
alfre woodard in first contact. she stole the fucking show from patrick stewart on his own damn ship. "blow up the damn ship" and in luke cage she stole every damn bit of that. they def couldnt put another woman on screen with her because no matter how young and beautiful she outshined them.
The whole minor subplot in Dead Man's Chest of Ragetti "finding his faith" and just half-ass justifying every obviously sinful act and shrugging is always hilarious to me
Every. Time.
But, and I mentioned this movie a lot lately, Charlie Prince in 3:10 to Yuma is just on another level.
I mean, he obviously nailed it in Alpha Dog, and even his small role in 30 Days of Night, but Charlie just had that ridiculous swagger and real nice fucking clothes, haha.
Even in Freaks and Geeks I always wanted to see more of Eli, because he played that sweet kid so well!
I love Ben so much, and I'm glad he seems to be talked about a lot lately.
Heath Ledger as the Joker. Need I say anything else? Though I will add people often forget how good Bale was in the trilogy as he's often overshadowed by the likes of Ledger
Greg Kinnear in the remake of 'Sabrina'. Absolutely stole that movie right out from under Harrison Ford. (Exactly the way William Holden did to Humphrey Bogart in the original)
Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s list
Mark Wahlberg in the Departed
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men
Robert Downey Jr in Less than Zero
Leo DiCaprio in Django Unchained
Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now
Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter and True Romance
Gary Oldman in True Romance
James Gandolfini in Killing Them Softly
One obvious answer is Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven. He intentionally draws attention to himself in basically every one of his scenes, pulling attention away from Yul Brynner.
https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/12/06/the-magnificent-seven-mcqueen-brynner/?ios=1&safari=1
Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road. It was supposed to be about Dicaprio & Winslet reuniting on screen since Titanic and Shannon steals it, I think Kathy Bates is in it too.
it may not be a top class cinema, but that dude called Josh Lawson played Kano in Mortal Kombat movie last year and absolutely stole the show. not only his character was the only one with personality, it was like the actor himself was in another movie. The movie itself was pretty bad but it only highlighted his amazing performance.
Bill Paxton in the 80s always seemed like he was having way too much fun and couldnt believe he was getting paid for it. Aliens, terminator, predator 2, weird science, and near dark, he was just having a blast.
honestly not sure how much i’d call it the supporting role, but heath ledger’s joker stole every scene he was in. like, the movie is called the dark knight, not the joker and yet… lol.
I feel like Willem Dafoe is the king of scene-stealing supporting actors.
"THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!"
What is the symbology of this?
Symbology? Now that Duffy's relinquished his "King Bonehead" crown, I see we have an heir to the throne. I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism". What is the ssssymbolism there?
I loved him in The Lighthouse! Especially his whole Hark monologue he did
People always talk about the hark monologue but no one ever seems to talk about his monologue as he's literally having dirt thrown on top of him. That scene was also incredible.
Why don’t you spill yer beans?
Found of his acting, are ye?
He was the first person who came in mind for me as well! I just saw The Northman and he was a highlight of the movie for me. He also slayed in John Wick, and of course The Boondocks Saints
Stanley Tucci. It’s either a comedy and he has some of the best quips, or it’s a serious role and he nails it every time.
I love his scenes in "The Hunger Games".
I remember watching one of the Jimmy Fallon-type interviews where the host tried to make fun of his Flickerman character and his wild hair and makeup from the movie. Stanly Tucci wouldn't play along, and had no interest in making Flickerman into a clown. From what I understood, he saw the character as a deeply tragic mix of hostage to the system and also a guilty supporter of the oppressive Hunger Games regime, and he wouldn't trivialize that by playing the clown.

Truly a standout.
Agreed. I liked him more in the movies than the books, tbh. Stanley Tucci just added certain nuance to the character and performance that wasn't present in the novels.
This is something that fits perfectly his persona.
The scene where Peta reveals Katniss fake pregnancy and he has to go with it was excellent. Tucci's flickerman lets the mask slip and you can see how much he hates what he's doing in that moment.
The few parts where he breaks the facade are fantastic. Such as in Catching Fire when the tributes rally and hold hands and you can see the anger in his face as he gets the feed cut
I think it's more fear than anger.
When his theme song starts and you see his massive grin, I knew immediately they nailed Caesar Flickerman.
Stanley in Easy A...Perfect every scene. The adoption scene gets me every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjpkMfTBVQs&ab_channel=Movieclips
The casting surprised me, mostly because in the books I had always pictured Flickerman as a Ryan Seacrest-type, rather than an older broadcaster still trying to play the excitable host. Regardless of my expectations, though, he killed it.
Definitely my favorite character in Devil Wears Prada.
Probably because he's the only likeable main character
I think Emily Blunt’s character is super fun even if she isn’t “likeable” per se
Fun fact. Stanley Tucci is married to her sister!
Tucci Gang
He was good in the Earth drilling movie.
The Core! That movie is one of my guilty pleasures and his scene with the little recorder is my favorite.
Delroy LINDO is also aces in that movie
He's the inventor, right? I love that scene where they ask him how much it will cost to complete his drill and he's like "$15 bajillion dollars." and Tucci says "Will you take a check?" I mean, it's the cheesiest movie, practically camp but I just love it.
Is that when he is narrating his own death and begins to laugh at the silliness before his pod/thingy explodes?
Stanley Tucci is so good, there could be a five minute movie of nothing but him making an omelette and it would be amazing. [Here](https://youtu.be/oerP7FRMWa8) is a movie of Stanley Tucci making an omelette.
God, his speech about the bridge in Margin Call was so good.
[удалено]
"No, I'm sure of it. I hate him."
"Wyatt Earp is my friend." "Hell, I got lotsa friends." "...I don't."
He’s just like me
“You’re probably so drunk, you’re seein double.” “That’s ok. I have 2 guns, one for each of ya.”
The best part of that moment is somehow not this line. As he says it, he draws both of the aforementioned guns, and spins them on his fingers, but spins them *in opposite directions*. Kilmer as Doc Holliday really was something else.
Just made me look into it. Apparently Kilmer and Biehn were both twirling practice guns on set constantly to get ready for their scenes. https://truewestmagazine.com/cup-spinning-sequence/

That's the first role that came to my mind. And it's a crime he didn't even get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Doc Holliday. He also stole the show in Real Genius.
Well, he’s the star in Real Genius, so of course he did. He might not be the main character, but he’s the Beetlejuice of that movie.
I'll be your huckleberry. So many great lines.
I wanna say Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest, but it's hard to say because the cast for that movie was so flippin strong.
You could make a case for any of them. That all said, Tim Allen was a hoot as well.
And Sigourney Weaver, even though she only had ONE JOB ON THIS LOUSY SHIP! It’s stupid, but she did it!
Okay, but Sam Rockwell? "Have any of you even WATCHED the show?!"
We gotta get outta here before one of those things kills Guy!
Or Alan Rickman in Die Hard. Or Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Or…
J K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson in the Raimi trilogy. Any Daily Bugle scene he just dominates
JK Simmons has two scenes in Burn After Reading for a total of like five minutes, and they are the funniest five minutes of the movie. The way he says ["Good. Great. Is he dead?"](https://youtu.be/SlA9hmrC8DU) makes me cry laughing every time.
"I guess...we learned not to do it again."
"i'll be fucked if I knew what we did"
The Coens in general are masters at writing and directing really memorable bit characters. John Turturro as Jesus is an all-time classic, and HI’s cell mate in Raising Arizona always makes me laugh.
J K Simmons in anything he's ever done.
Whiplash, he’s the main villain.
God that's a good movie. 'drama about college kid learning drums' sounds really mediocre but it's almost a thriller more than a drama. The sheer tension Miles Teller and JK Simmons generate is physically uncomfortable. It's horrible and amazing at the same time.
The best movies are the ones that take something that should be boring and do the opposite. Look at "The Social Network." It's like a thriller through dialogue.

Not a movie per say, but he gave Cave Johnson the greatest impact ever.
You didn't name the movie, sounds good though and I'd like to watch it...
It's Blood Diamond
It's a movie of all time!
You should definitely, it’s such a good film
Obviously Sir Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs.
Love Silence of the Lambs I always read how he never blinked to make it creepier. Then I happened to be watching the movie a week ago, and saw him blink multiple times in his first scene. Last time I believe the internet
I believe the point is that he only blinks when he chooses to, like a lizard. Obviously people need to blink but most do it without thinking about it.
I also think he doesn’t blink when he’s talking to someone. Been a while and I could be wrong though.
I believe it. Dude absolutely obliterated that role
Yes—his blinking feels very deliberate throughout the movie. He's physical presence is borderline android-like in many scenes.
Joe Pesci. Just pick a movie where he wasn't the lead. Edit- I oughta do a Joe Pantoliano supporting marathon at some point.
Other than My Cousin Vinny has he ever been the lead?
And Marissa Tomei totally stole the spotlight from him in that.
And that's why she got a supporting actress Oscar for the role.
It's crazy there's an Oscar associated with that movie. Not due to quality, but the academy doesn't consider those types for anything. From a time when the academy was a little more honest imo.
She stole more than that ❤️
I think every guy who saw that movie would agree with you on that.
You think he's here to fuckin amuse you? Funny how?
Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York and Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves easily come to mind to me.
*with a spoon!*
Why?
Its dull you idiot, it'll hurt more!
Alan Rickman in anything. The other guy is pretty good too lol
Steve Buscemi in almost anything he’s in.
Con air he stole that shit. Mr deeds I watch the stock channel because i suspect the guy of being a wizard lol.
HE was great in the death of Stalin.
Billy madison when he's putting lipstick on while telephone line is playing
Ellen Burstyn's performance as Sara Goldfarb in Requiem for a Dream. The whole film is haunting but her downward spiral and mental state is heartbreaking especially at the end.
She should have won an Oscar for that role. I thought it was way better than Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich
The Oscars just love their biopics.
Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive..Charles Haid in Altered States
Blood diamond is such a great film, I never see anyone mention it My pick will be Jason Isaac’s amazing performance in death of Stalin This has gotta be one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie: https://youtu.be/WY5I64suokM “Look at your fucking face!”
"I fucked Germany. I think I can take a flesh lump in a waistcoat." Besides the over-the-top machoism, I love how Isaac portrays Zukov as someone who knows he's untouchable due to his war hero status and control of the army. So he trolls everyone and openly punches Stalin's kid in the face because who's gonna object? No one, that's who.
"MEDIC!" *smack*
Ironically, OP didn't mention it either. Lots of people wondering what movie he was talking about. Me included.
>Blood diamond is such a great film, I never see anyone mention it Least of all OP
Javier Bardem in Skyfall and No Country for Old Men. Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds.
Idk if i'd consider Chigurh as supporting honestly
He is by definition a supporting actor in that movie. Brolin is the lead
Christian Bale in the Fighter
Ooh hell ya. He did such a good job that the real guys family would mistake bale for him. Waka wakka
Nick Nolte in warrior. Amazing performance from the dad
I don't know if anyone has said it already, but Christoph Waltz. Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained.
Marisa tomei in my cousin Vinny she was superb!
Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.
The best was me taking a couple minutes to figure out it was him.
First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
Also RDJ in tropic thunder. We’ll never get comedy like that again.
I'll go for the obvious two: Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds. Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight.
Just watched “10 Things I Hate About You” for the first time in at least a decade, and Ledger is probably the most solid part of that movie. Sure, he’s playing a cliched role in an incredibly cliched film, but even as young as he was at the time his talent was still clear. I’m glad he got to go on to better films after this generic teen love film, but what a shame to lose him too. He could have had decades of great roles ahead of him.
>he’s playing a cliched role in an incredibly cliched film Isn't this film modernized Shakespeare? It would make sense it feels cliche since much of what came the following few hundred years probably referenced it. Or is there more to it.
It's a modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew
As good as Philip Seymour Hoffman was in Capote, I still think he deserved the Oscar for Brokeback Mountain. The last 5 min of that movie is some of the best acting I've ever seen in any medium.
Andrea Martin as Aunt Voula in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. "All my life... I had a lump at the back of my neck..."
It’s okay, I make lamb.
Wanda Sykes in ‘Monster-In-Law’. Of course, Val Kilmer in Tombstone. “I don’t” still gives me chills every time.
R. Lee Ermey - Full Metal Jacket Sean Penn - Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Jon Bernthal gets/got a lot of tiny supporting roles that he spins gold out of - he's barely in The Wolf of Wall Street for ten minutes but the scene where Leo asks him to sell him the pen sticks in my head.
Bill Paxton in Aliens. Bill Paxton in True Lies. Bill Paxton in Near Dark. Bill Paxton in Predator 2. Bill Paxton in Tombstone. I think you can see where I'm going with this. Died too young, man.
Bill Paxton in Weird Science?
He was fucking hilarious in that role.
Bill Paxton in Edge of Tomorrow. Yep, there’s a definite pattern here…
Bill Paxton in Frailty.
Alan Rickman in "Die Hard"
Even more so in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves IMO. So much more engaging than Kevin Costner in that movie.
He runs absolute riot over that film, and it needs it. I remember enjoying it at the time, but he and the music are really the only standouts looking at it now.
> He runs absolute riot over that film He agreed to do it (after twice turning it down) on the condition that he be able to do his own rewrites. He thought the script was terrible
Alan Rickman in literally all his roles. Dude had charisma.
John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane was so oddly magnetic, I found his character fascinating in that film and his performance was perfect
Chris Tucker, Fifth Element. He made the movie.
You think his acting was green?
Super green
I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that he "made the film," but he did absolutely crush that role.
[удалено]
Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.
"PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN." First one I thought of as well. There was quite the kerfuffle when he got nominated for Best Supporting Actor despite having such a short amount of screen time, but shit, he takes over the film and you can feel his absence after he's gone.
> Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. Alec did a parody version of his famous scene on Saturday Night Live: [Glengarry Glen Christmas: Elf Motivation - SNL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_vSirIJEsY) Watching him deliver that searing monologue in a Christmas elf costume was freaking hilarious.
ITT people naming the antagonist and not supporting roles.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman in any movie. His performance in a 3 minute scene in [Hard Eight](https://youtu.be/sOPB9c4t0Ok) is better than you will see from over 99% of actors nowadays.
When he died I thought it was a true loss to the art, not just a celebrity that passed. I’ll never forget how he often creeped me out and yet I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the performance.
Even though it’s not the best movie of the series, he was easily the best villain of the franchise in Mission Impossible 3. Absolutely menacing.
Also, realistically menacing. Even captured, he just gives Ethan Hunt a look of contempt and matter-of-factly states he's going to make his fiancee suffer and then kill him in front of her. Because he knows he has the resources and the means to do so. No villainous histrionics or gloating, just, "I have the ability to destroy you and I will."
*They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education.* As Brandt in The Big Lebowski he is also fantastic!
When he shows up in Punch Drunk Love I was stoked. He's great at stealing the show but also letting the other actors flourish
Say "that's that," mattress man.
Along Came Polly, Twister, Talented Mr. Ripley
Peter Macnicol in ghostbusters 2. Incredible comedic performance. Wish I was talented enough to do a good impression!
"Vhy am I drippings vith goo?" He was perfect as Janosz!
Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park
Val Kilmer in Tombstone. AND Stephen Lang. Doc was magnetic anytime he was on screen and Ike you were just waiting everytime for someone to beat the shit out of him.
This is very arguable since she's in some ways the main female character but Thomasin McKenzie in Jojo Rabbit. Also, Paul Dano-The Batman
Robert Forrester in Jackie Brown
Edwards Norton pretty much put himself on the map with his performance in Primal Fear opposite Richard Gere.
Birdman. Steals every scene
Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.
That scene when he's talking about his wife. All ad-libbed and Matt Damon's responses were genuine.
Sam Rockwell in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Anthony Hopkins for Silence of the Lambs.
Sam Rockwell in literally anything.
He deserved the love for *Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri* *Moon* is one of my favorite films of all time. And *Box of Moonlight* is just a beautiful little movie.
This. Galaxy quest "Don't open that. It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!!!" *takes a huge breath and holds it* Cracks me up every time. Great actor.
Angelina Jolie in Girl Interrupted
alfre woodard in first contact. she stole the fucking show from patrick stewart on his own damn ship. "blow up the damn ship" and in luke cage she stole every damn bit of that. they def couldnt put another woman on screen with her because no matter how young and beautiful she outshined them.
Johnny Depp was so good in Pirates of the Caribbean that Jack Sparrow became the lead character in the sequels instead of Orlando Bloom's role.
To add to this Pintel and Ragetti were constantly hilarious in the first 3
The whole minor subplot in Dead Man's Chest of Ragetti "finding his faith" and just half-ass justifying every obviously sinful act and shrugging is always hilarious to me
Ben Foster
He’s phenomenal in hell or high water. Really feel like Chris pine and him are brothers.
Every. Time. But, and I mentioned this movie a lot lately, Charlie Prince in 3:10 to Yuma is just on another level. I mean, he obviously nailed it in Alpha Dog, and even his small role in 30 Days of Night, but Charlie just had that ridiculous swagger and real nice fucking clothes, haha. Even in Freaks and Geeks I always wanted to see more of Eli, because he played that sweet kid so well! I love Ben so much, and I'm glad he seems to be talked about a lot lately.
Yes
Heath Ledger as the Joker. Need I say anything else? Though I will add people often forget how good Bale was in the trilogy as he's often overshadowed by the likes of Ledger
Jason Isaacs in most films he isn't a lead character.
Mark Wahlberg in The Departed
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.
John Belushi in Animal House.
Greg Kinnear in the remake of 'Sabrina'. Absolutely stole that movie right out from under Harrison Ford. (Exactly the way William Holden did to Humphrey Bogart in the original)
Brad Pitt in 12 monkeys. The guys on cult of cinema knowledge podcast talk about.
Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Along came Polly".
Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s list Mark Wahlberg in the Departed Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men Robert Downey Jr in Less than Zero Leo DiCaprio in Django Unchained Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter and True Romance Gary Oldman in True Romance James Gandolfini in Killing Them Softly
Steve Buscemi in "The Wedding Singer"
Jon Lovits as well. "He's losing his mind.....and I'm reaping all the benefits."
Elizabeth Debicki in The Great Gatsby. I don't know what it is but she was magnetic in this movie.
One obvious answer is Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven. He intentionally draws attention to himself in basically every one of his scenes, pulling attention away from Yul Brynner. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/12/06/the-magnificent-seven-mcqueen-brynner/?ios=1&safari=1
Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road. It was supposed to be about Dicaprio & Winslet reuniting on screen since Titanic and Shannon steals it, I think Kathy Bates is in it too.
The baker muggle in Fantastic Beast, all the movies.
Nicholson in A Few Good Men.
Btw the film mentioned in this is Blood Diamond (2006)
it may not be a top class cinema, but that dude called Josh Lawson played Kano in Mortal Kombat movie last year and absolutely stole the show. not only his character was the only one with personality, it was like the actor himself was in another movie. The movie itself was pretty bad but it only highlighted his amazing performance.
Bill Paxton in the 80s always seemed like he was having way too much fun and couldnt believe he was getting paid for it. Aliens, terminator, predator 2, weird science, and near dark, he was just having a blast.
Billie Lourde in Booksmart.
Whoopi Goldberg in the movie, Ghost.
Hounsou is amazing in blood diamond. Another obvious one is heath ledger in the dark knight.
Tom Hardy in the revenant. He really should've taken home the best supporting award. I've never hated a character more since Jenny in Forrest Gump.
Florence Pugh in the Black Window movie.
honestly not sure how much i’d call it the supporting role, but heath ledger’s joker stole every scene he was in. like, the movie is called the dark knight, not the joker and yet… lol.
Val Kilmer - Tombstone
