everytime I hear anthony hopkins only has 16 minutes of screentime, I just can't believe it cause everytime I watch that movie, he leaves such a big impression on me
+Lord Crow At the time of that movie, he was relatively unknown in America and didn't have the prestige he has now. Though he stole the show nonetheless so it could go either way.
+Lord Crow I did not see your post, but completely agree with you.................................Hopkins is totally over the top in a realistic movie.
Great list. Agree with all selected and I've seen them all. Awesome to see Welles and Baldwin on there. I was thinking that John Goodman might make it for Barton Fink or The Big Lebowski. Also, John Cazale for The Godfather or Dog Day Afternoon. And one from way back, Edward G. Robinson for Double Indemnity. Supporting players, in the right role, really rock the cinema. Cheers.
It wasn't simply about either. It was about the ideological struggle between the two (and in doing so highlights the inherent conflict between the continued necessary existence of Batman and being able to fully achieve his goals), with Dent/Two-Face as the surrogate for this struggle. But Joker was the supporting character - since the audience focalises through Batman/Bruce Wayne for the majority. Same for Silence of the Lambs. The audience sees through Clarice, not Hannibal.
Probably comes down to there not being another male lead in that movie. By contrast, the Joker is clearly a supporting character in a movie with Batman as the male lead.
Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society stands out for me in his supporting role. Many people mention Good Will Hunting, even the Genie In Aladdin, but Dead Poets Society was one of the first films that really fed the soul and touched the heart. God bless you, Mr Williams. Your genius is sorely missed. 🙏🏻💙
+Zechariah Hall I didn't even realize that J. Jonah Jameson and the Band Instructor were played by the same person. I also found out that he voiced Tenzin in The Legend of Korra too. Mind. Blown.
suburban skies wtf he was huuuuuuuge before that and the joker was his last role ever. That didnt make everyone suddenly realize he was amazing. You could say with that being his last role and dying unexpectedly it drew a lot more attention but definitely not a "break out role" lmao.
The only movies I ever felt Heath Ledger was ever good in were The Dark Knight, Brokeback Mountain, Monster's Ball in his bit role and maybe A Knight's Tale. People like you vastly overate him as an actor because he tragically died.
THE DARK KNIGHT had the great good luck of Ledger dying before it was released to give it a completely undeserved reputation for seriousness when it was just bloody stupid. Not to mention the publicity machine - there wasn't something similar done to hype Brittany Murphy (similar problems with self-medication) and RAMEN GIRL

@Nope Nope yep...Ive liked the movies he's been in, but not necessarily HIM....he's rather boring at times, very mannered, rehearsed....not unpredictable or exciting...cant put my finger on it
I really, really like how your top 10 lists span through ten separate categories. Each number could have it's own top 10 list, which you demonstrate with every example you use before each reveal. Great work, I always look forward to your content
+David Herbst absolutely he should've won, Mark Rylance performance is subpar and no where near as rememerable as Tom Hardy's. The academy definitely screwed up because people will be talking about this The Revenant for years to come as Bridge of Spies will just fade into the background as one of Spielbergs lesser works. The Revenant was groundbreaking and Tom Hardy stole the fucking show from beginning to end
Nah man, I don't agree. As much as I love Hardy, I don't feel like he pushed any new ground with that role. It's just a role he played well. Leo might not've been up to the same acting standard (debatable) but he's the more memorable character imo.
I don't agree with you at all. Mark Rylance gave a much better and memorable performance to me and Dicaprio outshined hardy very hard in the Revenant. Thats my opinion at least..
The entire supporting cast in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest is amazing. So many great character actors who made you love each character no matter how minor. They all managed to be unique and memorable with the time they were given. Also, from personal experience working in mental health facilities they’re characterizations were great. Nothing was over the top or cliche.
John Goodman in The Big Lebowski is one of the greatest supporting performances in history, in my opinion, and the fact that he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar tells me everything I need to know about those awards. For lead performances, how about Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler? Man, fuck the academy.
I didn't really consider Waltz a supporting actor in that movie, his role was as big as Jamie Foxx's. DiCaprio had the supporting role, and yes, he owned every scene he was in.
@@TwoHatsHegemon I agree. I never though much of DiCaprio but in that role we was captivating. I assume you know that the broken glass/cut hand wasn't part of the scene and was an accident that DiCaprio acted through.
Andy Serkis as Gollum in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The act was completely unexpected by audiences and very entertaining. It was all my brother talked about when he went to see it. Deserves to be on this list.
The moment I saw the name of this video, I knew Lecter would have to get #1. The dude got an Oscar for best actor despite Hopkins only being in the movie for like 15 minutes.
That's right. It's weird to me. Just like when Al Pacino got a Beat Supporting Actor nomination for The Godfather when he was clearly the lead actor and Brando got the Best Actor award when he appeared far less time.
He dominates the movie even when he's not on screen. Gloria Swanson dominates Sunset Blvd. in what is essentially a supporting role. Holden is clearly the lead, however people think of Swanson when they think of the movie. She was nominated for Best Actress. Janet Leigh dies a third of the way through Psycho... another instance of an iconic supporting role.
The main issue I have with this vid is that it is so clearly biased towards men. Sure, they mention a few actresses, but only give one of them a spot on the list. Jeez.
1993 might have been the greatest collection of best supporting actors ever! John Malkovich for the Line of Fire, Tommy Lee jones for the Fugitive, Ralph Fienes for Schindlers List, Leonardo DiCaprio for Gilbert Grape, Pete Posthuwate for In the Name of the Father, Val wasnt even nominated!!
Val Kilmer didn't just steal the scenes he was in: he owned every scene he was in. Imo, Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter are hands down the two best supporting performances of all-time
Seriously? His performance in "Top Gun" is A) just as believable and B) just as impactful on the overall film. Tombstone is Kurt Russell's movie. Period. Kilmer is pasty, sweaty, and talks funny. That's about it.
+todd from geico Sam Jackson feels less a supporting role and more part of an ensemble to me. It's hard to say who the main characters are in that film aside from maybe Vincent and/or maybe Butch
hard to really call Samuel L Jackson like "the" supporting actor of that film. It was a bit mixed up, I feel like John Travolta probably got more screen time in that film than he did
IIRC Angela was about the same age as Laurence Harvey (playing her son). MFW I watched the movie at 15 and wondered why the old lady from Murder, She Wrote was so seductive and scary...
The Fugitive, stared Harrison Ford, as the Doctor trying to prove his innocents of killing his wife, But Tommy Lee Jones, US Marshel stole the movie and even went on to do two other spin-off movies of his same character.
Johnny: Well, I didn’t think you’d show... Doc: I’m your Huckleberry... Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just, walked right over your grave. Johnny: Fight’s not with you Holiday. Doc: I beg to differ, we started a game we never got to finish. Johnny: (Nervous chuckle) I was only foolin’... Doc: I wasn’t... and this time, it’s legal. Johnny: Alright lunger, let’s do it! Doc wins and walks over to his body Doc: Poor soul, you were just too high-strung.
Yes. totally forgot about his role. His role elevated that movie to legend status. ’I’m you’re huckleberry’ just might be the best line ever uttered before taking out the badguy. plus following up with ”You’re no daisy”, was so brilliant it will echo like Rutger Hauer’s scene in Blade Runner far after those movies are lost.
only the last one is true. no way you don’t first think of Michael J Fox when you thnk back to the future, and same with Tommy Lee, he had a more equal role the fugitive where with one scene scene Rutger Hauer ’s performance comes so strongly off that movie, is the scene everyone remembers when tbey remember that movie.
Kirsten Dunst in Interview With the Vampire. She's never made as good of a movie since, but you've got to give credit to a 12 year old that can steal a scene from Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt at the same time.
He was amazing, but I don't think you'd find more than a handful of lunatics that would say that his performance was better than that of Jeff Bridges'. This list is for when supporting actors upstaged the mains.
Yep, the perfect introduction for his character. Of course, his monologue about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is so spellbinding that it still gives me chills 46 years after I originally saw the movie in the theater.
I would´ve added either Robin Williamsas Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner or Andy Serkis as Golum in The Two Towers
Cause pulp fiction sucked...It showed a lack of concept and a lack of understanding of the subject on which it was based. It also has terentino-itis in that he has no ability to hold himself back. Sometimes that inability works in his favor such as django or kill bill, but in pulp fiction it creates an uneven tone that is only magnified by the breaking of the three act structure.
@@Taylor-cu2dh No its not. It doesn't know when to stop for one thing, the scene with the guy getting shot in the back seat doesn't do anything for the over arcing narrative of the movie and only serves to provide blood and guts. The over dose bit isn't needed either. The tone moves from serious to funny inconsistently and for no particular reason, and its largely due to the non-linear format that he adopted from pulp novels. Problem is thats the only thematic thing he drew from pulp novels. Pulp novels and comics had a dark and light balance to them that isn't adopted here (think the sin city comic or the shadow radio shows). They didn't tell their stories out of order for a purpose but meerly because they were going back to tell a portion of the story that was needed to make the current point in the story make sense. They had simple villains and simple heroes. Almost none of that was pulled into the movie as he was trying to duplicate a style he didn't understand. For instance compare it to kill bill. They are both trying to mimic a style. Pulps for pulp fiction, and asian media for kill bill. Kill bill continues sword fight themes all the way through it, the revenge narrative, the hero without a name ( yojimbo), there is even an animated segment. Verse just the out of order story telling in pulp fiction. Its not as good a film as several of his others but he's becoming a bit of a one trick pony sadly as all of his films are setup as mimics of other directors or of specific movie styles.
Chloe Moretz in Kick-Ass, Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds, Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, Daniel Craig in Munich, The BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies... I think that should make the list as well
I'd argue -- both STARRING roles rather than supporting. Weaving as the principal antagonist and Madsen as a member of an ensemble which collectively earns the title of lead role.
Personally, I feel Javier Bardem should be included for his role as Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men. He was so incredibly chilling. Just my opinion.
What about Peter Sellers in the original Pink Panther movie. David Niven as the thief was supposed to be the star of this caper movie. Inspector Clouseau was the dupe that is framed for the heist and is actually in handcuffs at the end of the movie. Supposedly during the editing process as he reviewed Seller's ad-libs, Edwards began to emphasize Sellers as well. Thus, began the Pink Panther movie series starring Inspector Clouseau.
That is the TOP classic character role that stole the movie, he was so good, theY created a freakin franchise off him, YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!!! That was David Nivens movie and he was outdone by his supporting player. Good call, This should have been number 1. Honorable mention LEE MARVIN in CAT BALLOU, he stole that movie right from JANE FONDA, I grew up on that movie...great western classic.
Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. Watching such a light-hearted, funny movie, you'd never expect that you're about to see one of the most goosebump-inducing scenes ever: "I want my father back, you son of a bitch!"
I was glad to see Marisa Tomei mentioned. Her Mona Lisa Vito in MY COUSIN VINNY was a masterpiece of comic timing. And all too often actors do not get the proper recognition for comedic work, which anyone who has ever done any acting will tell you is far more difficult than drama.
He really was amazing in that movie, wasn't he? I suppose it was just a case of Fonda having the starring role and the fact that it was an ensemble cast of so many other acting greats that might have gotten Cobb's incredible performance forgotten with all those actors surrounding him. He was the hinge on which the entire story swung, and he was masterful at it. He was equally great as Johnny Friendly in "On the Waterfront," and it's a bit sad seeing him in one of his last roles in "The Exorcist," knowing that he would be dead in only three years after that.
I fell like Kristen Dunst should of been on this list for Interview with a vampire she really did a great job standing out against both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as a child in a supporting role,.
She was amazing in that one, perfectly replicating the character as written by Ken Kesey himself, but I have to say that Nicholson still narrowly outshone her, but only because he had quite a bit more on screen time. They both took home Oscars from that movie, though, both of them totally warranted.
i think it's the same clause they mention at the start of the video, jack sparrow and brad pitt on 12 monkeys, it's too much screen time and too inherently charming that it's not allowed on the list
2:17 Shaw was a severe alcoholic most of his life. When they shot the famous Jaws scene about the Indianapolis, the first time around he was drunk and could not finish. The next day he arrived on set, sober, and shot it in one take. So the Hollywood lore goes.
How could you have missed Peter Sellers in the first Pink Panther movie? He wasn't even the first choice for the role of Clouseau, and the film itself was a vehicle for David Niven, with Sellers in a supporting role. From the moment he appears on screen and spins that globe...that film was his! Clouseau was what we remembered, wanted more of, and it led to a whole series of brilliant, hilarious films. Huge Miss, Folks!
Sellers had the lead role in all the Pink Panther movies. This list was for supporting roles. Great as he was as Clouseau, he doesn't fit in this list.
@@rmooreg In the original "The Pink Panther" (1963), Clouseau was a supporting role, but Sellers was so memorable that his role became the lead for all the sequels.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I agree. Some of the more iconic, if we don't call it best, performances are from the western genre. Brad Pitt took all the shine in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but just how good was Di Caprio in this!
Good call. I'd also be tempted to include, Lee Van Cleef, from same film. Maybe not win, but at least some recognition, or more than what he got. I can't imagine TGTBATU, without Lee, as Angel Eyes.
"Be careful, Preston. You're treading on my dreams." - Dupont Bale's performance as Preston is one of his best. Not a lot of actors can play a role like that - a man learning how to experience emotion for the first time - with such conviction.
Absolutely right, Bale is a great actor and very dedicated to his roles. He did "The Machinist" in between the first two Batman movies, that's some real body transformation to go through... But nevertheless, Equilibrium is another great movie....where Sean Bean dies! :D Seems to be a running gag for him or he just doesnt like sequels. ;)
@@dereinzigwahreRichi I see Sean Bean in anything and I set the character death counter. I was surprised his character survived The Martian. I thought they'd find a way to get rid of him somehow.
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, Agent Smith in The Matrix, Eddie Murphy in Trading Places, Tom Berenger in Platoon, Oprah in the Color Purple, Will Farrell in Old School.
Jp bart, that's the point! It's a running gag. Inconceivable is stronger than "That's impossible!" He's made it his catch phrase and ironically, his legacy.
When I read As You Wish, I was sad to hear Wallace wasn't proud of his performance. He heard Danny Devito was first choice for the role and all he could think about was how Danny would play it.
So many possible choices but I'd like to put forth two of my favorites: Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' and Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday in 'Tombstone'.
Oh my goodness, can't believe I forgot about Val's Doc Holiday...that is a totally awesome performance that....Actually it's my favorite western of all time, that one....
Oh, absolutely!! I had to scroll down through the comments to find mention of him. That was an absolutely golden performance. Kilmer owned that shit. It was masterful.
Dan: I loved Morgan Freeman in Shawshank! I would consider him a major character since he narrated the movie. That's the only reason to possibly leave him off this list!!
Was hoping that Alan Rickman's portrayal of Hans Gruber in Die Hard would've; at least, gotten an honorable mention in the villain category. Booooo!!!!!!
Anthony Hopkins' role was not a supporting role. His Oscar for acting in a Leading Role, because it has nothing to do with how much screen time he has.
i would categorize Hopkins as supporting here because although we get some scenes from Lecter's perspective, most of his scenes he shares with Jodie Foster. While we're interested in Lecter's fate, we're never really rooting for him, empathizing as much as we're in awe of the characters cunning, daring escape eventually. But i think Hopkins performance managed to make such an impression they bent the definition of leading actor which usually correlates with protagonist or co-protagonist.
everytime I hear anthony hopkins only has 16 minutes of screentime, I just can't believe it cause everytime I watch that movie, he leaves such a big impression on me
David Mertens It's even more incredible that he won the Oscar for Best Acting, only needing 16 minutes to do so. Sir Anthony Fucking Hopkins
Didn't know before watching this video that his role was limited by 16 mins because his aura was all over the movie.
As Jack Crawford said, we shouldn't have let him in our heads...
Unbelievable!
I think he has some serial killer tendencies like I'm seriously terrified of him whenever i see the movie

The main issue I have with this vid is that it is so clearly biased towards men. Sure, they mention a few actresses, but only give one of them a spot on the list. Jeez.
I was waiting for it......and it never happened. No respect!!!!
Val Kilmer stealing the scenes in Tombstone. He should've won an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holliday.
you are so freaking right my friend! He was amazing in that role, I love that movie! all time fav
yesss
1993 might have been the greatest collection of best supporting actors ever! John Malkovich for the Line of Fire, Tommy Lee jones for the Fugitive, Ralph Fienes for Schindlers List, Leonardo DiCaprio for Gilbert Grape, Pete Posthuwate for In the Name of the Father, Val wasnt even nominated!!
Val Kilmer didn't just steal the scenes he was in: he owned every scene he was in. Imo, Val Kilmer's portrayal of Doc Holliday and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter are hands down the two best supporting performances of all-time
Ecspecially with the all star cast that movie has!
I love cinefix lists because each number is a list on its own. So much work goes into them and it's greatly appreciated. Keep it up guys
Philip Seymour Hoffman in... everything.
I just watched The Talented Mr. Ripley again and you're so right.
A talent gone too soon! He was great even in movies that weren't great.
Agreed, Along came Polly. Phillip is solid gold
DUSTY!
His performance in The Master should’ve been in this list..
Kevin Spacey in Seven was quite legendary..
I think he's more legendary in The Usual Suspects.
Michael Gorecki but wouldn’t be be the main character in Usual Suspects?
I disagree I think his acting style is always pretentious and monotoned.
@@linlinxoxo no he's a great actor. He can show range. Watch American Beauty
@@linlinxoxo Woah someone took a big old gulp of the bad opinion juice cup
Val Kilmer in Tombstone has always made me wonder how he didn't get an oscar for that. He turned a great film into a masterpiece
Seriously? His performance in "Top Gun" is A) just as believable and B) just as impactful on the overall film. Tombstone is Kurt Russell's movie. Period. Kilmer is pasty, sweaty, and talks funny. That's about it.
You didn't even mention Kevin spacey from se7en or Samuel l. Jackson from pulp fiction
+todd from geico Sam Jackson feels less a supporting role and more part of an ensemble to me. It's hard to say who the main characters are in that film aside from maybe Vincent and/or maybe Butch
+todd from geico Jackson was more of a main charkter and not really a supporting role. But yes, Spacey was great in Seven.
I guess they're avoiding spoilers
+AlastorD Jackson is supporting, Travolta got nominated for lead, jackson for supporting i believe
hard to really call Samuel L Jackson like "the" supporting actor of that film. It was a bit mixed up, I feel like John Travolta probably got more screen time in that film than he did
Gary Oldman steals every film he's in.
Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate. One of the best screen performances ever. And one of the very best villains.
@Scott3843 - I completely agree. One of the most shocking, chilling and memorable of villains.
Yes. Amazing performance.
IIRC Angela was about the same age as Laurence Harvey (playing her son). MFW I watched the movie at 15 and wondered why the old lady from Murder, She Wrote was so seductive and scary...
This is a phenomenal answer
The Fugitive, stared Harrison Ford, as the Doctor trying to prove his innocents of killing his wife, But Tommy Lee Jones, US Marshel stole the movie and even went on to do two other spin-off movies of his same character.
I'd nominate Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday from Tombstone as well.
Excellent suggestion.
Best line of the film....
"i'm your huckleberry!"
That's the most memorable for sure...but he's got so many good ones.
Johnny: Well, I didn’t think you’d show...
Doc: I’m your Huckleberry... Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just, walked right over your grave.
Johnny: Fight’s not with you Holiday.
Doc: I beg to differ, we started a game we never got to finish.
Johnny: (Nervous chuckle) I was only foolin’...
Doc: I wasn’t... and this time, it’s legal.
Johnny: Alright lunger, let’s do it!
Doc wins and walks over to his body
Doc: Poor soul, you were just too high-strung.
Absolutely!
You have to mention Val Kimer's Doc Holiday. Every scene he is apart of is mesmerizing.
Yes. totally forgot about his role. His role elevated that movie to legend status.
’I’m you’re huckleberry’ just might be the best line ever uttered before taking out the badguy.
plus following up with
”You’re no daisy”, was so brilliant it will echo like Rutger Hauer’s scene in Blade Runner far after those movies are lost.
He was mentioned, he just didn't get a spot on the list.
Tommy Lee Jones as Sam Gerard in "The Fugitive"
Crispin Glover as George McFly in "Back To The Future"
Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in "Blade Runner"
only the last one is true. no way you don’t first think of Michael J Fox when you thnk back to the future, and same with Tommy Lee, he had a more equal role the fugitive
where with one scene scene Rutger Hauer
’s performance comes so strongly off that movie, is the scene everyone remembers when tbey remember that movie.
Some good nominees.
"A temper shorter than himself" My god, I DARE you to say that to Pesci's face.
"Shorter", how? How's it shorter?
Would be hard, they'd have to bend down quite a bit
Now go home and get your f*cking shine box.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sirriffsalot4158 am I a short like leprechaun? Do I amuse you with my cobbling skills and jokes?
Kirsten Dunst in Interview With the Vampire. She's never made as good of a movie since, but you've got to give credit to a 12 year old that can steal a scene from Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt at the same time.
I was looking for someone to say her for this movie!!
I loooved her performance in that movie!
Truth
Xoë Suejung iii
Have you not heard of Melancholia, or are arthouse films not considered as "movies"?
John Goodman in The Big Lebowski should definitely be on this list!
I like Goodman and luv Jeff Bridges but absolutely hated The Big Lebowski! I don't get why it's so popular.
HAHAHA! I see what you did there (@Liam E)
In my opinion Goodmans performance in Barton Fink is much better.
this is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps!
He was amazing, but I don't think you'd find more than a handful of lunatics that would say that his performance was better than that of Jeff Bridges'. This list is for when supporting actors upstaged the mains.
It's like if WatchMojo didn't suck.
I know, right!
*spit takes* *ferociously applauds*
Couldn't be more true. And no over-annuciated Ts in words such as better and little. That Watch Mojo guy KILLS me with that shit.
ShackledFreely: I get uncomfortable when I hear the word spit and I see Frank-N-Furters eyes looking at me like it does in Cerebral Assassins pic.
Pimping for subs. It gets old. If we like you we'll sub, OKAY?
I remember seeing jaws in the theater and Shaw dragging his nails across the chalkboard was unforgettable.
Yep, the perfect introduction for his character.
Of course, his monologue about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis is so spellbinding that it still gives me chills 46 years after I originally saw the movie in the theater.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns Yep, Shaw was excellent in Jaws. But he was equally impressive as the mobster in The Sting. Ya folla?
@@waynej2608 I have yet to see "The Sting," but I've been told that it's a great movie.
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds and Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth in Schindler's List.
The best that not mentioned was Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War. Every time he was on the screen, the movie was interesting.
Philip Seymour Hoffman in everything - one of the best upstagers to ever grace the screen!
I would´ve added either Robin Williamsas Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting, Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner or Andy Serkis as Golum in The Two Towers
Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction. How could this go overlooked?
Pulp Fiction was a multi-starer...Samuel Jackson had just as much screen time as Bruce Willis or Travolta and his role wasn't any smaller..
Cause pulp fiction sucked...It showed a lack of concept and a lack of understanding of the subject on which it was based. It also has terentino-itis in that he has no ability to hold himself back. Sometimes that inability works in his favor such as django or kill bill, but in pulp fiction it creates an uneven tone that is only magnified by the breaking of the three act structure.
Mizino: In Over My Head. What are you taking about? Pulp Fiction is a classic above all classics
@@Taylor-cu2dh No its not. It doesn't know when to stop for one thing, the scene with the guy getting shot in the back seat doesn't do anything for the over arcing narrative of the movie and only serves to provide blood and guts. The over dose bit isn't needed either. The tone moves from serious to funny inconsistently and for no particular reason, and its largely due to the non-linear format that he adopted from pulp novels. Problem is thats the only thematic thing he drew from pulp novels. Pulp novels and comics had a dark and light balance to them that isn't adopted here (think the sin city comic or the shadow radio shows). They didn't tell their stories out of order for a purpose but meerly because they were going back to tell a portion of the story that was needed to make the current point in the story make sense. They had simple villains and simple heroes. Almost none of that was pulled into the movie as he was trying to duplicate a style he didn't understand. For instance compare it to kill bill. They are both trying to mimic a style. Pulps for pulp fiction, and asian media for kill bill. Kill bill continues sword fight themes all the way through it, the revenge narrative, the hero without a name ( yojimbo), there is even an animated segment. Verse just the out of order story telling in pulp fiction. Its not as good a film as several of his others but he's becoming a bit of a one trick pony sadly as all of his films are setup as mimics of other directors or of specific movie styles.
Mizino: In Over My Head. Yea man you’re on your own on this one pulp fiction is phenomenal and 99% of people would agree
Sean Astin as Sam Gamgee.. in the two towers and return of the king. Epic
Chloe Moretz in Kick-Ass,
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds,
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight,
Daniel Craig in Munich,
The BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies... I think that should make the list as well
i actually liked aaron eckhardt's performance as harvey dent/two face in the dark night more so that ledger's joker (which i did like as well)
Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith in the Matrix movies was great. Michael Madsen as Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs was brilliant.
I'd argue -- both STARRING roles rather than supporting. Weaving as the principal antagonist and Madsen as a member of an ensemble which collectively earns the title of lead role.
Personally, I feel Javier Bardem should be included for his role as Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men. He was so incredibly chilling. Just my opinion.
But was he a SUPPORTING actor? As the main villain, I'd argue he's a principal role.
@@jeffbaer5851 well he did win the Oscar for best supporting actor for that role, so yeah, he was a SUPPORTING actor lol
Right. But Hopkins won for best actor, so…
@@peterzizzo484 thats why I said 'just my opinion'. Keep up.
What about Peter Sellers in the original Pink Panther movie. David Niven as the thief was supposed to be the star of this caper movie. Inspector Clouseau was the dupe that is framed for the heist and is actually in handcuffs at the end of the movie. Supposedly during the editing process as he reviewed Seller's ad-libs, Edwards began to emphasize Sellers as well. Thus, began the Pink Panther movie series starring Inspector Clouseau.
That is the TOP classic character role that stole the movie, he was so good, theY created a freakin franchise off him, YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!!! That was David Nivens movie and he was outdone by his supporting player. Good call, This should have been number 1.
Honorable mention LEE MARVIN in CAT BALLOU, he stole that movie right from JANE FONDA, I grew up on that movie...great western classic.
Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. Watching such a light-hearted, funny movie, you'd never expect that you're about to see one of the most goosebump-inducing scenes ever: "I want my father back, you son of a bitch!"
I was glad to see Marisa Tomei mentioned. Her Mona Lisa Vito in MY COUSIN VINNY was a masterpiece of comic timing. And all too often actors do not get the proper recognition for comedic work, which anyone who has ever done any acting will tell you is far more difficult than drama.
Lee J. Cobb should have won the academy award for Twelve Angry Men.
He really was amazing in that movie, wasn't he?
I suppose it was just a case of Fonda having the starring role and the fact that it was an ensemble cast of so many other acting greats that might have gotten Cobb's incredible performance forgotten with all those actors surrounding him.
He was the hinge on which the entire story swung, and he was masterful at it.
He was equally great as Johnny Friendly in "On the Waterfront," and it's a bit sad seeing him in one of his last roles in "The Exorcist," knowing that he would be dead in only three years after that.
@@Gunners_Mate_Guns I know the last time I saw it, he just dominated that movie for me.
He was also great in "On the Waterfront" and "The Exorcist".
@@triciajohansen7124 He sure was.
JK Simmons in Whiplash
+7BizOn1 And Spider-Man...
I fell like Kristen Dunst should of been on this list for Interview with a vampire she really did a great job standing out against both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise as a child in a supporting role,.
And along the same vane, Christina Ricci in The Addams Family.
Kirsten Dunst has given nothing but consistently awesome performances for almost 30 years, she deserves more recognition and respect
@@brendanfoehr5086 i would agree except for the spiderman movies
@@fonzacevedo6867 diria la sonrisa de mona lisa pero esa es de julia roberts y su actuación fue regular
Yes I agree, two big time actors and she stole the spotlight with that one. Amazing performance 🎭
I'm still upset JK Simmons from Whiplash wasn't even mentioned like come ob
Sebastian Johnson yeah I forgot whiplash was made in 2017....
R_J what are you talking about
At least an honourable mention cuz goddamn he's terrifying
What about jk simmons on spider man. Also great
Maybe because the movie was all about the character he played and this is about supporting roles.
Sean Connory in the "Untouchables". Totally sold thé movie.
No mention of Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner?
Indeed!
+Paul Atre1des He's compelling in all his films.
MakeMeThinkAgain
I'm proud to be Dutch
Damn!
How did I miss that?
Hell yes to that one.
His crowning achievement will forever be as Batty, but you're right, and I would add his role as John Ryder in "The Hitcher" as particularly sinister.
Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
She was amazing in that one, perfectly replicating the character as written by Ken Kesey himself, but I have to say that Nicholson still narrowly outshone her, but only because he had quite a bit more on screen time.
They both took home Oscars from that movie, though, both of them totally warranted.
I just posted the same thing when I left the theater after that movie I hated her
Sean ASTIN
Joaquin Phoenix . Playing Johnny Cash
You SHOULD do a top 10 roles of Gary Oldman!!!
I think they may have done that already. Gary deserves a category of his own. :)
overrated..!
Alan Rickman blowing Kevin Costner off the scene in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
"And cancel Christmas!"
Add Alan Rickman to the "in anything" list really.
David Larney That no talent re edited the movie. Never mind his accent comes & goes.
And Willis in Die Hard!
Wasn’t that the movie where Rickman wrote his own lines because the script was bad?
val kilmer in tombstone
Mantis Toboggan he’s my huckleberry
Agreed.
Say when...
i think it's the same clause they mention at the start of the video, jack sparrow and brad pitt on 12 monkeys, it's too much screen time and too inherently charming that it's not allowed on the list
Val should've won an oscar for that. Who can play him after that? Dennis Quaid gave a valiant effort, but ummm..NOPE!!!
i was waiting for Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, well deserved ranking
Leonardo dicaprio in what's eating Gilbert grape
Abbey Evans that’s when I knew he was an actor.
Or The Departed
@@lindseyormsbee na, Arnie Grape was the role of his life, his performance in Departed doesn't come close. But good movie though :D
He aced A Boy's Life opposite Robert Deniro.
Yeah. Mo'nique was inSANELY amazing in that moving.
2:17 Shaw was a severe alcoholic most of his life. When they shot the famous Jaws scene about the Indianapolis, the first time around he was drunk and could not finish. The next day he arrived on set, sober, and shot it in one take. So the Hollywood lore goes.
Angel CityGirl he also wrote the bit about a sharks “Black Eyes” himself.
Larinda Nomikos sounds fun
How about Daniel Day Lewis as Bill the Butcher. Leo didn't stand a chance
Great call ... despite his marque name, D.D. would have to be classed in a supporting role for that one. Could easily make this list !!
Exactly. I can't believe no one has mentioned it
How could you have missed Peter Sellers in the first Pink Panther movie? He wasn't even the first choice for the role of Clouseau, and the film itself was a vehicle for David Niven, with Sellers in a supporting role. From the moment he appears on screen and spins that globe...that film was his! Clouseau was what we remembered, wanted more of, and it led to a whole series of brilliant, hilarious films.
Huge Miss, Folks!
Sellers had the lead role in all the Pink Panther movies. This list was for supporting roles. Great as he was as Clouseau, he doesn't fit in this list.
@@rmooreg
In the original
"The Pink Panther" (1963),
Clouseau was a supporting role,
but Sellers was so memorable
that his role became the lead
for all the sequels.
Viola Davis made us forget that Meryl Streep was in Doubt. The fast that her scene was very short, talks about her talent.
Funny, I forgot Viola was in it, till I read your comment
Eli Wallach shoulda won an Oscar for Tuco in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
There's not enough understanding here for that genre I'm afraid.
@@manfredschmalbach9023 I agree. Some of the more iconic, if we don't call it best, performances are from the western genre. Brad Pitt took all the shine in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but just how good was Di Caprio in this!
One of the most original characters in film
Good call. I'd also be tempted to include, Lee Van Cleef, from same film. Maybe not win, but at least some recognition, or more than what he got. I can't imagine TGTBATU, without Lee, as Angel Eyes.
But he’s one of the 3 main characters.
As sad as I am that my favorite UA-cam channel doesn't post much, it just makes me that much more excited when a video does get released!
Almost every movie with Christopher Walken? :D
lol
+MrCorvusC my thoughts exactly whenever I see Christopher Walken in a film I find myself captivated.
only The Deer Hunter
Agreed. I mean the Watch monologue in Pulp Fiction. Amazing
two words: one dimensional
Mira Sorvino was outstanding in her supporting role in “Mighty Aphrodite” never breaking character. Stellar
Thanks for mentioning Christian Bale. You are right about under rated. Anyone seen Equilibrium?
Amazing movie....I've watched it about 4 times over a few years, and it's still awesome....Very underrated as a sci-fi
Indead, great movie and sadly little known. He knows Gun Fu, too! ;)
"Be careful, Preston. You're treading on my dreams." - Dupont
Bale's performance as Preston is one of his best. Not a lot of actors can play a role like that - a man learning how to experience emotion for the first time - with such conviction.
Absolutely right, Bale is a great actor and very dedicated to his roles. He did "The Machinist" in between the first two Batman movies, that's some real body transformation to go through...
But nevertheless, Equilibrium is another great movie....where Sean Bean dies! :D
Seems to be a running gag for him or he just doesnt like sequels. ;)
@@dereinzigwahreRichi I see Sean Bean in anything and I set the character death counter. I was surprised his character survived The Martian. I thought they'd find a way to get rid of him somehow.
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, Agent Smith in The Matrix, Eddie Murphy in Trading Places, Tom Berenger in Platoon, Oprah in the Color Purple, Will Farrell in Old School.
And of course Michael Douglas in Wall Street.
+Lew Alcindor loved Vince Vaughn in old school
Val Kilmer in Tombstone...
Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones
Everyone is good in Platoon.
Wallace Shawn in "The Princess Bride". His not being on this list is inconceivable!
that word does not mean what you think it means. (in spanish accent)
Jp bart, that's the point! It's a running gag. Inconceivable is stronger than "That's impossible!" He's made it his catch phrase and ironically, his legacy.
@@lorriesmith5086 you do realise i was quoting inigo montoya, don't you?
When I read As You Wish, I was sad to hear Wallace wasn't proud of his performance. He heard Danny Devito was first choice for the role and all he could think about was how Danny would play it.
That movie had a handful of unforgettable supporting actors. Think Christopher Guest.
So many possible choices but I'd like to put forth two of my favorites: Leonardo DiCaprio as Arnie in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape?' and Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday in 'Tombstone'.
Oh my goodness, can't believe I forgot about Val's Doc Holiday...that is a totally awesome performance that....Actually it's my favorite western of all time, that one....
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards.
Val Kilmer should have won best supporting actor as Doc Holiday in Tombstone and should have been on this list.
Oh, absolutely!! I had to scroll down through the comments to find mention of him. That was an absolutely golden performance. Kilmer owned that shit. It was masterful.
Charles Jones YES! He is the only reason I love that movie/have seen it as many times as I have!!
On the comedic entry...How could you not even MENTION Kevin Klein in "A Fish Called Wanda"?
How often do comic performances rate an Oscar win?
That wasn't a supporting role he played!
Seriously, how can you not mention the greatest comedic performance of all time? !
@@ameyas7726
He won a supporting role Oscar.
Anthony Hopkins even won an Oscar for the best actor in a LEADING role for "The Silence of the Lambs" :)))...
You're absolutely right. And as far as that goes, he wasn't even the scariest villain in a movie that year. I would take DeNiro as Max Cady that year.
Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting
No Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption or Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future? Tut, tut, tut.
Lloyd's a great call !! Relatively little screen time, but impossible to not picture his mug when thinking about the movie; nice one!
Dan: I loved Morgan Freeman in Shawshank! I would consider him a major character since he narrated the movie. That's the only reason to possibly leave him off this list!!
Yeah Morgan Freeman is a good one
Was hoping that Alan Rickman's portrayal of Hans Gruber in Die Hard would've; at least, gotten an honorable mention in the villain category. Booooo!!!!!!

Yes. But he didn't quite steal the show.
You know thees are good choices when, more often then not, when they say the name you go: "Oh ya, they weren't the lead."
Awesome list!
lol, yeah i agree XD
I feel every pick was spot on, except the no. 8. Regardless of how great Jack Black was, I think he cannot top Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder.
CineFix went full retarded.
Very different actors
Anthony Hopkins' role was not a supporting role. His Oscar for acting in a Leading Role, because it has nothing to do with how much screen time he has.
Villainous roles are also considered lead!
i would categorize Hopkins as supporting here because although we get some scenes from Lecter's perspective, most of his scenes he shares with Jodie Foster. While we're interested in Lecter's fate, we're never really rooting for him, empathizing as much as we're in awe of the characters cunning, daring escape eventually. But i think Hopkins performance managed to make such an impression they bent the definition of leading actor which usually correlates with protagonist or co-protagonist.
@@dvg4536 , you would be wrong.
@@iscse and your reasons why?
@@dvg4536 a movie can have a number of narratives, each with its own main character.
