THE LIST
Christian Bale - Dicky Eklund in The Fighter (2010)
And it's not just the 63 pound weight gain and accent and biographical mimicry... Bale lights up the screen from the first frame with a performance that's both histrionic and believable.
Robert Shaw - Quint in Jaws (1975)
He anchored the whole film, bringing a mysterious, sea-dogged sense of dread to the plain new-englanders he was surrounded by, elevating the film to a timeless classic in the process.
Jack Black - Barry in High Fidelity (2000)
Stealing every scene from Cusack with his erratic shenanigans and wild pantomimes - it's not that John was bad, it's just that pretty much nothing can top Jack Black at his full level of hyperactivity.
Angelina Jolie - Lisa in Girl Interrupted (1999)
Before Girl Interrupted, Angelina Jolie was known for frequent tv work and the occasional film role, but by the time she finished her explosive turn as a committed sociopath, gleefully creating chaos wherever she turned with the kind of screen presence usually reserved for Godzilla, she'd won herself a golden globe, an oscar, a teen choice award, and the kind of heat that would push her into the A-list stratosphere by the very next year.
Mo’Nique - Mary in Precious (2009)
Her performance turned an abusive mother into an almost 4 dimensional character, just as cruel and terrifying as human and heartbreaking.
R. Lee Ermy - Gny. Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket (1987)
After a video-taped tirade he sent to Stanley, Kubrick cast him in the role, let him improv most of his own dialogue, and basically handed him the whole first half of the movie, where he spits, curses, abuses and humiliates his way into our hearts.
Alec Baldwin - Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Not only did Baldwin's character - or "fuck you" as he introduces himself - steal the show, so did the scene itself.
Orson Welles - Harry Lime in The Third Man (1949)
From the very first moment that Welles' smile hits the screen, there's no question that he's stolen - in this case quite literally - the spotlight.
Joe Pesci - Tommy Devito in Goodfellas (1990)
He’s a Jack Russell with the bite of a bulldog, commanding any room his character is in with a temper shorter than he is.
Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Hopkins scored a paltry 16 minutes of screen time, but made every 24th of a second count. He transfixes Clarice, the camera, and us for every moment he's on screen, delivering one of the most chilling examples of upstagemanship we can think of.

"Gary Old man in every single movie he has ever played" literally that dude is beyond every list.
Aida C. B
Gary Oldman rocks. Check out his work as Sid Vicious in "Sid and Nancy". He kills it.
Its amazing how Gary Oldman only just recently won himself an oscar for his impeccable work.
Alan Rickman in everything he's ever made, too
True...he's brilliant!
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 kind of onscreen presence usually reserved for godzilla" is hands down the best description of Angelina in Girl, Interrupted I have ever heard.
Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone should 1000% be on this list. One of the best performances of all time and completely steals the movie.
Val Kilmer, absolutely!!
( tomstone)
100% right.
Should have won an Oscar . Just brilliant( he was hard to work with Apparently.Doc Holiday baby ' I'm your huckleberry'
He should be on the top 5 of this list!!
good choice. you're right!
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious Bastards
+Lord Crow Was waiting for him as well
+Lord Crow He was amazing in Django too. My Favorite Actor Right Now!
Leo in Django Unchainrd
+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.
Hopkin's was only in 16 minutes of that movie ??? Jesus it felt like he was in every scene..Didn't he win Best Actor and not Supporting ?
Yeah, it's weird
Meanwhile Heath Ledger gets Supporting for the Dark Knight...
That has always pissed me off. That movie was NOT about Batman, it was about the Joker.
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.
I was thinking the same thing! I thought he was in at least half of the movie, what a great performance.
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.
kind off missed jk Simmons in whiplash, still a good list though
Or for spider-man
Were you rushing or were you dragging
Is supporting role same as antagonist?
Pretty much, JK Simmons in anything he's ever been in!
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.
Christian Bale is right up there with Daniel Day Lewis. It's amazing how he loses himself in his characters.
DDL takes the lead easily, but yes he would be a distant 2nd
Bale, DDL and Phoenix are some of the best character actors. 😃
@Nope Nope lol you're so ignorant its hilarious
@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
Just watched Ford v Ferrari, what an immense actor he is.
I know it's a kids movie, but Robin William's Genie from Aladdin
robin williams in everything tbh.
scamrasc true
death by glitter Just cuz it's animated doesn't mean it's for kids.
Some Crazed Nerd also true
scamrasc Especially 'Insomnia' ...
you left out the volleyball in cast away
Nice 😂
Im done 😂😂😂
Wilson!
Laughed out loud to this, thanks!
Wiiiiilllllllsssssoooooonnnn!!!
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.
Monique in precious is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen
Everything Gary Oldman has ever done. I laughed a little to hard at that.
+drakeunderscoremason It is true though. Gary Oldman is just incredible, he's always memorable. Even in bad movies.
I thought they were going to mention The Professional, but when they said that I realized they just had spoken the truth.
*too
+drakeunderscoremason HE DESERVES AN OSCAR
That being said, his partner Guildenstern, Tim Roth does the same thing: with Amanda Plummer in Pulp Fiction, Planet of the Apes, etc
J.K Simmons in Raimi's Spiderman trilogy and Whiplash
agreed
+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.
+Andrew Jenkins I know right?! dude is an incredible talent
+Andrew Jenkins .. and the yellow M&M in the adverts.
+Andrew Jenkins ...and the Peanut M&M.
EDIT: Oooops. Just noticed Jaap Scherphuis mentioned the M&M. D'oh!!!
Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner. One of the best antagonists on screen I have seen.
RIP Rutger Hauer
Yes. He dominated that film.
He is the main antagonist in that film, a main character, not a « supporting role ».
Rutger Hauer also made the best ad-lib speech that will live forever.
Richard Jones
Yes, that speech at the end of Blade Runner was completely insane !!! A milestone in the history of cinema.
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.
But, the character Gollum was written into the book as a strong supporting character already!
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. 🙏🏻💙
And let's not forget, Awakenings and The Fisher King. Cheers.
Wasn’t Robin Williams the Star of Dead Poets Society?
Steve Buscemi, every damn time he shows up.
He was really good in 28 days
@@audreywood2056 His monologue in Desperado.
@@graceskerp7679 have not seen it yet but I will check it out
@@audreywood2056 There is a UTube clip
Even as buddy Holly in Pulp Fiction?
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!
"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?
What makes Hannibal Lecter so impressive is that HE'S NOT EVEN OFFICIALLY THE VILLAIN OF THE MOVIE!
Buffalo bill .... the true terror of that film , Anthony hopkins wasn't at all believable imo

what was the need for commenting this?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade a lot of wankers out there who whine about "too much talking instead of just showing the countdown"
+Luke sol We always have the list in the description.
CineFix I'm honoured at the reply, but some people are just too dumb to not look at descriptions
+Luke sol - Not on this channel they don't.
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.
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 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
+Dan Sterling yeah, i also love how they give a few examples for every number then give their favorite.
Whisplash , Fletcher.
Whiplash'
I wish they at least gave him an honorable mention.
hwiplash
When I opened the video, I immediately looked for him. And was disappointed big time.
Amazing character! :) Wish he made it even in the honorable mentions.
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
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.
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.
Courtney Valdez Agreed. I am patiently waiting for John Goodman to get the credit he deserves in general.
+Courtney Valdez Yea, Academy sucks.
That comment is over the line! And Goodman's buddies didn't die face down in the muck so he could be overlooked on this list!
Tom Hardy as John Fitzgerald in The Revenant, he brought his A-game for that film and it showed immensely
No joke, he should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He stole the entire film....even from Leonardo DiCaprio.
That a great fucking call ! I thought Tom Hardy and the cinematography was the best things about that movie.
+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..
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.
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.
7 of these should be Philip Seymour Hoffman.
absolutely
God, how I miss that man...
Amazing actor. Wish he could have lived longer.
THAT is a good point !
Especially in The Master
Django Unchained (Christopher Waltz), He did steal the show, anyone?
He was great, but when Leonardo DiCaprio comes into play, Waltz takes a backseat to him. DiCaprio, I think, is the one who steals that movie.
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.
Salman Memehood in Inglorius Basterds
He's fucking phenomenal in Inglourious Basterds
@@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.
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.
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?
Generally every time Christoph Waltz shows up.
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.
Mac C. Of course he dominates it... it's Brando. I'm not saying Vito was a supporting character, just that Al Pacino's was a lead too.
Yeah. Mo'nique was inSANELY amazing in that moving.
Great list! I still get goosebumps when that Jaws scene comes up with Quint talking about the USS Indianapolis.
Alan Rickman in everything...
A glaring omission.
Yeah. Exactly. Robin Hood and Die Hard should have been on here at the very least.
I see your Alan Rickman and i raise you a Charles Dance in everything!
break out role
as hans gruber
By Grabthar's hammer...
I think of the Joker when someone says The Dark Knight , the reason why that movie is so monumental is because of Ledgers performance
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
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was his last role.
@@jugz1827 I
Sean Connory in the "Untouchables". Totally sold thé movie.
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.
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
Viola Davis atleast deserved an honorable mention for her scene in Doubt.
Yes! Was just about to comment saying that. Her performance is incredible.
Thought FOR SURE she was gonna be #4.
If I should be asked about "one-scene-wonders" the first thing i would come up with would be Vanessa Redgrave in Atonement
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!!!!
Sean Astin as Sam Gamgee.. in the two towers and return of the king. Epic
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....
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
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?
Mira Sorvino was outstanding in her supporting role in “Mighty Aphrodite” never breaking character. Stellar
Wow! I think I agreed on all of 'em. Nice commentary, too. I loved the line: "but made every 24th of a second count." Very good... not all your viewers know that movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (usually) and you found a nice way to say the old, "every frame was perfect!" with a nice, subtile twist. Well done.
Gary Oldman steals every film he's in.
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..
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
Tim Roth in Rob Roy.. Amazing performance!
Yes. But he didn't quite steal the show.
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.
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
John Malkovich portraying himself in "Being John Malkovich" (pretty cool movie👍)
Malkovich?
@@BackwoodsFilms Yes...Malkovich. Check out the movie 👍🏽
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.
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
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!
Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod in Fifth Element
@Ken Hudson And Beyond Sexy!
Love your guys’ dedication!
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.
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.
Kevin Kline’s 1989 performance in A Fish Called Wanda won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and is a glaring omission in my opinion.
Not what I expected, but fascinating and well done.
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

Have you not heard of Melancholia, or are arthouse films not considered as "movies"?
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds and Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth in Schindler's List.
Good list, nice job!
I’m pretty certain this is the 1st video of cinefix I saw and I’ve been grateful since.
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.
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.
Old, but the actors who played Ma & Pa Kettle in _The Egg and I_ were such a hit with the audience, a whole series of movies were made featuring them as the same characters.
"...where he spits, curses, abuses and bullies and abuses his way into out heart." (!!!!!) I freakin' love this channel....to echo another post, the entire Mojo team should be schooled by this one. These videos feel like mini master classes for cinema
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
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 loved Silence of the Lambs. I really love Hannibal. He's my all time favorite fictional character
Damn! Another great selection.
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..!
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!!!
These are some great choices! My favourite supporting performance is a tie between Lesley Manville in Another Year and Amy Adams in Junebug.
Pretty good one this....Did think of the original 'West World' as one...Yul Brynner as the gunfighter..He was so awesome in that...The remark about Gary Oldman, absolutely, he's a genius...
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.
JK Simmons in Whiplash
+7BizOn1 And Spider-Man...
I hate list channels… but you guys are actually kinda enjoyable! And you dive credibly deep and wide for your film choices… 🎥
Who are you!? Where did you come from?? Consarn it all, I’ve watched eight of these over the last week - and you may have earned my subscription! 🙂👍🏼
Wonderful presentation.
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)
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!
There is no such thing as a "small role", there are just "small actors".
Good list, but it could have been thrice as long and still not covered all those who deserve a slot. In a side note: Your content is so compelling it caused me to finally see The Third Man. Fantastic film and well worth the viewing. Thank you.
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.
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.
My pick from Full Meta Jacket would be Vincent D'Onofrio as Pvt. Pyle.
I second this... He was absolutely chilling in the role.
Yes
Monique’s performance in Precious was so brilliant, Hollywood actually hated her in real life for it
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.
i was waiting for Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, well deserved ranking
Good god, such a great list!!!!
What about Louis Gosset,jr in An Officer And A Gentleman ?
THANK YOU!!!!!!🇺🇸
@@triciajohansen7124 is he the drill sergeant?
@@maciek8159 yes
Amen! One of two films that I can immediately think of that were badly misadvertised. The ads for OAAG were all about Richard Gere and Debra Winger, but that's not the most important relationship in the movie, it's the one between Gere's recruit and the drill seargent played by Gossett. Sensational! The other one I think of is The Year of Living Dangerously where all the ads played up Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver, but the real star of the film was Linda Hunt as Billy Kwan.
