Shocking to not see Christoph Waltz here for Inglorious Basterds. Arguably one of the best performances by a supporting actor in a movie ever and completely stole the movie.
@@jeffreym.8957 I see your point and tbh he does probably get the most screen time in the movie out of the full cast but the fact he received second billing and the supporting actor Oscar instead of lead actor should qualify him for this list.
They also missed Benicio del Toro in The Usual Suspects. Fenster literally dominated every scene he was in, and the lineup scene in particular was just a masterclass in how to steal a scene.
Alan Rickman in Robin Hood, playing against Kevin, oh well, Kevin Somebody. Also a big shout out to William Fictner in Drive Angry as The Accountant!! Both of them stole their respective movies.
Brilliant! The Robin Hood, Prince of Tweebs, was so stupid!!! I was about to leave the theatre when Alan Rickman exploded onto the screen. Loved that man!
You do know Leo isn’t playing a South African in Blood Diamond, right? There’s even a scene where he discusses his RHODESIAN background, it’s critical to his self-identity and conveys a huge amount about his character to the audience.
How did you miss Jack Nicholson in a few good men. He had about 8 minutes of screen time with actors like Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Pollack, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland and the list goes. You watch the movie and any scene he is in with any of the other actors he makes them look invisable like they don't belong in the movie with him. That and he won a best supporting actor oscar for his part. How did you guys miss this?
Fun Fact: Bill Paxton's most famous line in Aliens "Game over, Man, Game Over" Was just something that the actor improvised during the scene, needed something whiney to yell out
After watching Aliens for the first time, I decided on what was called the “Hudson/Vasquez” Theory: Every horror movie will have a side character so cool that you know they’re not going to make it to the end.
In the Aliens: Colonial Marines game you can find Hudson's body cocooned to the wall. "Absolutely Badass" easter egg even though the game was a colossal turd.
@@schools6555 You figure if they were gonna go that far, you'd also find Apone and Dietrich, considering that they were also taken to be cocooned. I guess they weren't as memorable.
Thank you for including the late great Bill Paxton. His spastic worrying as Hudson really made Aliens enjoyable. In my opinion it was the best movie of the series. Paxton was mesmerizing as the trigamist in Big Love, and solidly believable in Tombstone. A talented man indeed.
You know what? I think we should give the legend that is, was and ever shall be, Bill Paxton double credit. Not only an ace in Aliens, but a hilarious supporting role in Weird Science too!
He also stole the scenes he was in in the James Cameron film True Lies as the skeazy used car salesman trying to seduce Jamie Lee Curtis's character Helen.
Bill Paxton kills it in Aliens! Best character in the film and that's saying something considering Ripley and Newt are great characters in their own right.
R. Lee Ermy in Full Metal Jacket, Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder, Jack Black in High Fidelity, Vince Vaughn in Mr. and Mrs.Smith, Alan Arkin in Argo, Kevin Spacey in Se7en
JK Simmons is on a whole other level as JJ Jamison. He stole the show because this in the category of "Roles he was born specifically to play." And that's why they'll likely never replace him in the role unless they absolutely have to.
Perfect pick for Number 1. Bill Paxton was magnificent as Hudson. Hudson is the kind of guy you love to hate. My favorite line of his was, "Yo! Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen!" Bill Paxton was a terrific actor. We are the poorer without him. Miss ya, Bill!
Bill Paxton was a great second fiddle in any movie he was in, and shined best in that role. He was very versatile and every lead he supported benefited from his presence. He is missed by many!
I barely remember anything about Easy A other than Tucci's delivery of "What?! Who told you!?" So good it eclipsed everything else. RIP to Bill Paxton. Only 1 of 2 to be killed by a Xenomorph, Predator, and Terminator (I count Bishop, yes).
@@JEDAI501ST I saw him first in Gladiator. He's always amazing. The way he says, "Who?" when "Starlord" introduces himself in Guardians of the Galaxy always slays me.
Our late great Bill Paxton had a knack for stealing scenes. As mentioned, he’s unforgettable in Aliens. But he’s similarly incredible as the scuzzy car salesman in True Lies. He’s amazing in Predator 2 (An incredibly underrated film). He has a brief but memorable cameo at the beginning of the first Terminator. A sadistic zealot in Frailty (Super under rated Suspense/Horror). And perhaps one of the most sadistic vampires put to screen in Near Dark. Mr Paxton passed away far too soon, but he certainly left his impression on cinema….
He's great as Chet in 'Weird Science'. His best line in that, has to be to his seriously hungover kid brother: "How about a greasy pork chop served in a dirty ashtray?"
Scarlett Johansson in Jojo Rabbit was truly wonderful. Absolutely broke my heart. A character that you felt every ounce of loss in the scene with the shoes because of all the love they brought in their time on screen.
Another role Bill Paxton shines in is the second installment of another sci fi film franchise that also crosses paths with the xenomorphs. Predator 2. Playing nearly the same character, Paxton's Jerry Lambert is a cocky policeman who cracks wise and usually backs it up. Just too bad he didn't think to drop his gun when facing the Predator.
Only character I've seen make that move and live was Mike Epps in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Every STARS officer gets either blown away with a minigun or rocket launcher, he just says "Hey! Respect!" [Drops guns] *Non-Combatant. Disengage.*
Yes, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson completely stole the show as Olive's quirky, yet supportive parents. They could easily have an entire movie to themselves, as could Thomas Haden Church as Olive's favourite teacher.
Alan Tudyk and Paul Bettany were so funny in A Knight’s Tale. It was the first time I had seen both of them in anything and they jumped out as the best part of the movie. Oh… them and the awesome music 😊
Marisa Tomei in "My cousin Vinny" 'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.'
Yeah, that movie was so awesomely cast... Fred Gwynne as the judge was hilarious. But Marissa stole her scenes so hard that she laughed all the way to the Oscars. Not to mention how funny Pesci was.
Anthony Hopkins in silence of the lambs. He was a supporting role (16 total minutes) that so took over the show that they gave him a lead actor Oscar on a move that the Director said didn't have a leading man
Bill Paxton was quoted more at my former employment than any other. "That’s it, man. Game over, man. Game over! What the f*ck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?" I managed a wastewater treatment plant that treated an average of 15 millions of waste a day. "Well, that’s great. That’s just f*ckin’ great, man! Now what the f*ck are we supposed to do? We’re in some real pretty sh*t now, man!" The most realistic screen portrail of a total meltdown. Love forever, Bill. You said what we all want to say when it falls apart but aren't supposed to.
Alec Baldwin is in Glengarry Glen Ross for about 8 minutes and got both Academy and Golden Globe nominations for Best Supporting Actor in a movie with Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Jack Lemmon, K. Spacey, and Jonathan Pryce. Now that is stealing the movie.
Josh Lawson's Kano in 2021's Mortal Kombat saved that film from being a complete stinker (Scorpion did some heavy lifting too), but Kano? Who expected Kano to be your favourite thing in a Mortal Kombat movie? Mad. But beautiful.
The funniest thing about Pvt. Hudson is he's the IT person of the platoon. I read where Bill Paxton was so worried about having to swear in front Carrie Henn, who was a child, that he went to her during a take and apologized for his language.
You forgot Jack Black in "High Fidelity", and Alan Rickman in "Robin Hood - Prince Of Thieves". First two that come to mind when you say "stole the movie". Thank you for mentioning Paul Bettany in "A Knight's Tale". I remember watching the movie to find out what all the girls see in Heath Ledger. He was fine, without a doubt, but my kinda guy definitely was Chaucer and the lanky scene stealer playing him.
Bill Paxton was the rarest of the rare: A character actor who had the raw charisma to steal every scene he was ever in while sharing the screen with a literal auditorium's worth of A list actors over four decades. RIP.
OMG! I hated Jim Carrey as the Riddler - the most over-the-top ridiculous performance of all time. Love your other two choices though. Think of Buscemi in bigger roles like Fargo and tiny roles like Billy Madison. Always great.
I remember Yul Brynner complaining about Steve Mcqueen stealing the screen from him in the Magnificent seven ..and that's why SM is not in the sequel..
What about Dafne Keen in Logan? Even Hugh Jackman said in an interview that she stole the movie and was the real star. She doesn't talk for half the film but just her actions and facial expressions do all the acting. An amazing performance
@@jeffreym.8957 I didn't find her annoying at all. It takes a really good actor/actress to verbalize using only facial expressions and actions and I think she did it perfectly
Mathilda May deserves a spot on here for capturing the attention of the audience in Lifeforce with almost no dialogue. Her graceful physicality and comfort with nudity helped her performance.
I still want disney+ to make a series of shorts with Luis giving summaries of every marvel movie just like they did with Olaf from Frozen summarizing disney movies
I gotta ask, how did Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder not make this list?? Like he was the ultimate scene stealer in that movie and with all the good stuff that was already in it I remember everyone talking about him most of all!
Rupert Everett in "My best friend's wedding": He's the one reason I have any positive memories and anything nice to say about a fundamentally awful movie.
True Romance. A film where four or five of the supporting performances (a few of them in only one scene) absolutely eclipse the decent lead performances of Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken in particular but also Dennis Hopper, Brad Pitt, & James Gandolfini.
Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element. Ana de Armas in No Time to Die. Samuel L Jackson in Django unchained. Bill Paxton in The Last Supper. Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Nocturnal Animals
i only recently saw JoJo rabbit and could not believe how good the film was, everyone did a fantasstic job, even the kids were good actors. i was so sure Christoph Waltz was getting number 1, he is terrific in Django and inglorious basterds
I feel like Yaphet Kotto (RIP) deserves to be mentioned here for his role as Parker in the original 1979 Alien movie. Dude just wanted to go home and party.
2 more additions I’d like to add are Josh Lawson as Kano in Mortal Kombat and Chris Hemsworth as Billy Lee (Charles Manson) in Bad Times at the El Royale. Lawson was hilariously fun to watch as the Australian mercenary and utilized his skills as a comedian to perfection. Hemsworth played a terrific villain as Billy Lee, who was basically Charles Manson. Even Co-Star Jeff Bridges commented that he was “creeping him out” with how invested he was in the roll.
Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. The role was crucial to the pacing and arc of the movie, but the breadth she brought to the character determined how each scene felt. Her transformation as the expert witness on the stand made her the Hall Pass for many young men.
Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs? Maybe? Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction? (I'd argue he wasn't a supporting actor, but the Academy seemed to think so).
The less said about Spider-Man 3 the better, but J.K. Simmons was fantastic as Jameson. It's like he stepped right out of the pages of the comics and into real life.
And he goes way back. So, I imagine you do too. I mentioned Luis Alberni in Easy Money, with Jean Arthur and Ray Milland. He is perfection, and goes back further.
Bill Paxton's character in Aliens made me wonder why they don't vet their Marines better. In movies such as these there is always one soldier who should have stayed in school and become a Dentist instead.
Their commander seemed like the bigger liability, plus cut Hudson some slack, he was probably fine in battle against other humans, but no one ever prepared him for xenomorphs.
Maybe if you would've said, together with Paul Bettany, I would've agreed. But stole the movie alone? Nope. His best moments wouldn't have worked without Bettany as "antagonist", while Paul's Chaucer (that sounds remotely naughty, doesn't it?) stole every single of his scenes.
All of the actors in Death of Stalin had English regional accents to show they were from different parts of the Soviet Union and Russia, so the one playing Kruschev, a Ukranian, was a Canadian actor speaking naturally.
No. 5, no one could play Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson like J.K. Simmons, and I hope to see more of him in any future Spider-Man movies set in the MCU
Not Simon Pegg - a high-profile Londoner playing Scottish was bound to be less convincing than a jobbing Canadian of Ulster descent. And Pine just didn't convince as any kind of leader.
Bill Paxton in Aliens, Bill Paxton in Near Dark, Bill Paxton in True Lies. Bill Paxton in every movie that he was ever in🌟
Weird science! Lest we forget.
Bill Paxton in Near Dark, yeah! You gotta love him, even if he's scary in that one!
True Lies, absolutely legendary
Bill Paxton in Predator 2
Bill Paxton in Streets of Fire and in The Terminator. On the screen for mere moments, but memorable nonetheless. He is missed.
Shocking to not see Christoph Waltz here for Inglorious Basterds. Arguably one of the best performances by a supporting actor in a movie ever and completely stole the movie.
Good catch. I agree 100%.
That first scene is utterly chilling. Really good call.
The only thing here is that Waltz was kind of the star? Pitt's character is barely in it. Hard to steal your own movie. But he was great, of course.
@@jeffreym.8957 To me, he was one of the main protagonists.
@@jeffreym.8957 I see your point and tbh he does probably get the most screen time in the movie out of the full cast but the fact he received second billing and the supporting actor Oscar instead of lead actor should qualify him for this list.
You missed the greatest upstaging of all time. Val Kilmer in Tombstone.
I'll be your huckleberry 😂
Yeah, came here to say this. Not sure how this list can exist without him.
On rewatch you look for the Doc Holliday scenes.
Obvious answer. That film would not have done what it did without him.
They also missed Benicio del Toro in The Usual Suspects. Fenster literally dominated every scene

R Lee Ermey absolutely. I can’t think of FMJ without him
Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder absolutely. I never knew he could be so funny
Djimon Hounsou should be noted for Gladiator, also!
Yeah pretty sure he is more memorable for that movie than any of his Marvel or DC appearances
And Amistad!
Christian Bale in THE FIGHTER is also worth mentioning. As well as pretty much every movie Samuel L. Jackson plays a supporting role.

Who/what hasn't killed Lance Henriksen in a movie?
It didn't eclipse everything else. Certainly not Emma Stone's lead. A lot of the credit for Tucci and Clarkson goes to the scriptwriter.
Djimon Hounsou is such an underrated actor, he also delivers grade A acting. Legend! Any film he is in I know im in for a great movie.

Chet from Weird Science
fun fact... Bill Paxton was in Season 1 of agents of shield, in the final season his son played a younger version of his character after Bill's death

Taika Waititi as Grog in Thor Ragnarok Andy Serkis as Gollum in the Lord of the rings
Let's be honest here, Andy Serkis in anything he appears in
Orson Welles as Harry Lime in "The Third Man." I don't even remember anyone else in the movie.
finally someone remembers black-and-white
True Romance. A film where four or five of the supporting performances (a few of them in only one scene) absolutely eclipse the decent lead performances of Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken in particular but also Dennis Hopper, Brad Pitt, & James Gandolfini.
Drexl was amazing and rip Tom Sizemore as Cody Nicolson in True Romance.
@@jamespope7669 I came for that - the scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is just too good for the movie to continue after it.
@@trepiefan53totally, so many awesome scenes and characters.
"Game Over! Man." "Hey, Vasquez. Were you ever mistaken for a man?" "No, Hudson. Were you?!"
You were So On Point noting J.K. Simmons as Jameson. Just like the comic!
Love Bill Paxton,
rest in eternal piece xxx
Chris Tucker in the Fifth Element.
Ana de Armas in No Time to Die.
Samuel L Jackson in Django unchained.
Bill Paxton in The Last Supper.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Nocturnal Animals
re. Tucker, he never knows the distinction between scene-stealing and crapping all over a scene so that no-one would want it
i only recently saw JoJo rabbit and could not believe how good the film was, everyone did a fantasstic job, even the kids were good actors.
i was so sure Christoph Waltz was getting number 1, he is terrific in Django and inglorious basterds
"Europa, Europa" is a good companion piece to "Jojo Rabbìt". Excellent double feature. 😀
@@chazarcola7639 thanks for the heads up, will check it out tonight
Randy Quaid's Cousin Eddie in Christmas Vacation.
"Merry Christmas! Sh@tter's full!" Iconic line.
I feel like Yaphet Kotto (RIP) deserves to be mentioned here for his role as Parker in the original 1979 Alien movie.
Dude just wanted to go home and party.
A fine actor not mentioned often these days. Liked him in Brubaker (1980), which isn´t mentioned often these days either.
@@Fred_L. also Live and Let Die.
"Names is for tombstones, baby!"
2 more additions I’d like to add are Josh Lawson as Kano in Mortal Kombat and Chris Hemsworth as Billy Lee (Charles Manson) in Bad Times at the El Royale. Lawson was hilariously fun to watch as the Australian mercenary and utilized his skills as a comedian to perfection. Hemsworth played a terrific villain as Billy Lee, who was basically Charles Manson. Even Co-Star Jeff Bridges commented that he was “creeping him out” with how invested he was in the roll.
Chris Hemsworth was great in that role! Charismatic and creepy as hell.
Terrific line-up! Michael Pena is Ant Man and the Wasp was by far my favorite character in the movie. His delivery could not be upstaged!!
Philip Seymour Hoffman in everything, but especially Along Came Polly
I’d add his stellar performance of Freddie Miles in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Mickey Rourke’s 5 minute turn in Body Heat.
Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny.
The role was crucial to the pacing and arc of the movie, but the breadth she brought to the character determined how each scene felt.
Her transformation as the expert witness on the stand made her the Hall Pass for many young men.
Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs? Maybe?
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction? (I'd argue he wasn't a supporting actor, but the Academy seemed to think so).
Hannibal was the main antagonist in silence of the lambs, poor old buffalo bill was the main killer, yet a supporting character lol
Bill Paxton in true lies was memorable as well. He is such a great actor!
Donald O’Connor in Singing in the Rain was fantastic!
The less said about Spider-Man 3 the better, but J.K. Simmons was fantastic as Jameson. It's like he stepped right out of the pages of the comics and into real life.
The fact that Michael Pena is not in Ant man 3 is a damn shame
My cousin Jack Elam stole many scenes in many movies and shows.
And he goes way back. So, I imagine you do too. I mentioned Luis Alberni in Easy Money, with Jean Arthur and Ray Milland. He is perfection, and goes back further.
he was great in Kiss Me Deadly!
Great list and fine delivery. Well done!
Bill Paxton's character in Aliens made me wonder why they don't vet their Marines better. In movies such as these there is always one soldier who should have stayed in school and become a Dentist instead.
Their commander seemed like the bigger liability, plus cut Hudson some slack, he was probably fine in battle against other humans, but no one ever prepared him for xenomorphs.
@@mimseydemon1844 Newly minted LTs exist to add perversion and dread to what might otherwise be merely terrifying.
You should do a list of “top 10 A-list actors who underperformed in big roles”
Gotta say I thought Alan Tudyk was the one who stole A Knight's Tale
Tudyk steels the show in a ton of movies.
"at all because of Wot cuz he hits like a girl."
"I will fong you... Pain... Lots of pain!"
I can see that!
Maybe if you would've said, together with Paul Bettany, I would've agreed. But stole the movie alone? Nope. His best moments wouldn't have worked without Bettany as "antagonist", while Paul's Chaucer (that sounds remotely naughty, doesn't it?) stole every single of his scenes.
@@LastBastian Agreed, and this was one of the first times we saw that
Heath Ledger in TDK. Possibly the best supporting actor in cinema history.
Was thinking the same thing.
All of the actors in Death of Stalin had English regional accents to show they were from different parts of the Soviet Union and Russia, so the one playing Kruschev, a Ukranian, was a Canadian actor speaking naturally.
Leonardo DiCaprio was pretty damn good in Blood Diamond.
Pena and that other dude on chef get me hype in every movie I see them in. Same with that dude from Waiting. They should make their own movie.
Easy A had another outstanding scene stealer in Thomas Hayden Church's subtle and subdued teacher. He killed me!
Did you see him in The Peanut Butter Falcon? Another great performance by Thomas Haden Church.
No. 5, no one could play Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson like J.K. Simmons, and I hope to see more of him in any future Spider-Man movies set in the MCU
The Star Trek reboot with Chris Pine had a cast FULL of people like that. They somehow embodied the old characters while making it their own also.
Not Simon Pegg - a high-profile Londoner playing Scottish was bound to be less convincing than a jobbing Canadian of Ulster descent. And Pine just didn't convince as any kind of leader.
1. Heath Ledger. The Dark Knight.
2. Christoph Waltz. Inglorious basterds.
3. Geoffrey Rush. The King's Speech
