Also like the other two in that scene- Benicio del Toro and Tobey Maguire. I like casting against type, when it works it really works. For example, Denzel Washington as Detective Alonzo Harris, and Rodney Dangerfield as Ed Harris in Natural Born Killers.

August 23, 20187 yr One of the greatest film characters of all time .... and he wrote the screenplay and directed the movie which i thought was the best movie of that year and should have won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor along with the Best Screenplay Oscar it won. Fuck James Cameron and Titanic. Edited August 23, 20187 yr by Steamboat1874
August 23, 20187 yr Torturo was smarmy as hell. The Dane was as dickish as he should be. One of my favorite movies nobody ever talks about...

Fuck James Cameron and Titanic. Well, English Patient won in 1997, when Sling Blade was up for awards. But Fargo was also nominated. That should have won.LA Confidential should have won instead of Titanic in 1998.

Love Sling Blade, Fargo too, but The English Patient is a strong, if slow, film. More obviously Oscar bait than the other two. Some of the more outre elements of both Sling Blade (Doyle and his minions) and Fargo (the wood chipper, go bears), probably lost them some votes.

August 24, 20187 yr Man I could have sworn Sling Blade was the same year as Titanic but hell I cannot remember yesterday so there is that.....
August 29, 20187 yr Some of my favorites but some have been mentioned: Carrol O’Connor - Archie Bunker Jon Hamm - Don Draper Peter Falk - Columbo Daniel Day Lewis - Christy Brown, My Left Foot Sean Connery - James Bond Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau - The Odd Couple Jack Lemmon - The Apartment James Stewart and Kim Novak - Vertigo Phillip Seymour Hoffman - Capote, and to expand: Robert Blake and Scott Wilson in In Cold Blood Edited August 29, 20187 yr by Brandywine

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber Hart Bochner as the coke sniffing sleazy salesman that gets blown away. James Shigeta as Joseph Takagi Reginald VelJohnson as Sgt Al Powell Paul Gleason as the totally incompetent and annoying police chief Bonnie Bedelia as the remarkably hot MILF, Holly McLane. You know how hard it is to be a memorable character as the wife in one of these shows? Every one of them totally owned their screen time, and got out of the way when it was another character's time to shine. Especially true for Willis, who had individual interactions with all of them. Honorable mention to Argyle and most of the terrorists.
December 15, 20187 yr literally EVERYBODY in Deadwood, including every single minor character* obviously McShane and Olyphant, but standouts include Brad Dourif, Robin Weigert, W. Earl Brown, Molly Parker, Jim Beaver, John Hawkes, Dayton Callie, Titus Welliver, Powers Boothe, Garret Dillahunt, Keith Carradine, Gerald McRaney, Michael Harney, and good lord William Sanderson was brilliant. even pervert Jeffrey Jones was perfect. gotdamn that show was the BEST. (*did not read whole thread, not surprised if already mentioned) Edited December 15, 20187 yr by mchookem
December 16, 20187 yr Last of the Mohicans (1992 version). Wes Studi and Daniel Day-Lewis, the whole cast, really. Steve Waddington as the British officer shot by Day-Lewis before being burned alive played an asshole you felt respect for in the end. Actors portraying the British and French commanding generals were superb.
December 16, 20187 yr Patrick Swayze - EverythingYou’re goddamn right. Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle.

October 11, 20205 yr Robert Taylor (an Aussie, no less), Longmire Bo Derek, 10 Madeline Kahn, just about everything she appeared in, but my favorite was Trixie Delight in Paper Moon Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, Stir Crazy Everybody, Dr. Strangelove
October 11, 20205 yr haha ^ good one speaking of Malkovich... him, Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Frances McDormand in Burn After Reading, they were all pitch perfect. that is by far the funniest LOL Coen bros movie. Brad Pitt has quite the diverse resume, many where he was 100% perfect... hitchhiking cowboy in Thelma and Louise Aldo Raine and Cliff Booth are obvious (Tarantino generally nails his casting) Rusty in the Ocean movies (love the running gag of him eating in every scene lol) Mickey in Snatch Floyd in True Romance the crazy son in Twelve Monkeys Early Grace in Kalifornia Tyler Durden to be fair, he's also been some of the worst casting haha (Troy, Interview with a Vampire, Jesse James)

Thought he nailed it.

October 12, 20205 yr well...okay. maybe i couldn't stay awake long enough to appreciate him in that role lol ☺️i thought that movie was really long and slow.
October 12, 20205 yr Not sure if mentioned before, but I thought Kevin Bacon was a perfect fit for the Marine Corps JAG prosector in Few Good Men.

October 12, 20205 yr well...okay. maybe i couldn't stay awake long enough to appreciate him in that role lol [emoji3526]i thought that movie was really long and slow.Assassination of Jesse James... was an anti-western where the outlaw shoots people in the back and gets shot in the back as well. Casey Affleck was perfectly cast as a creeper. Talkies like this movie will never get theatrical run anymore. Acting, cinematography, music were all top notch.There’s always Young Guns. Emilio was pretty good as Billy the Kid. And lots of Bon Jovi montages, shooting, and spitting.
October 12, 20205 yr oh thank you for that not-condescending-at-all artistic interpretation 🙄 if i recall, many critics also dinged TAOJJBTCRF for being too long and rather slow. lol Young Guns was terrible, fyi. back to topic... Once Upon a Time in the West was a similarly lengthed 'talkie' and is one of my favs. Fonda was cast against type and was fantastically malevolent! i think Clint was originally supposed to have Bronson's role, but Bronson turned out perfectly cast as well.

Was there really that much dialogue in Spaghetti Westerns? Claudia Cardinale was perfect
May 12, 20241 yr Watched the Star Trek reboot with Chris Pine again. That entire cast was selected perfectly.
