Supporting or film-stealing performances that you love
Edited on Tue Nov-15-05 04:36 PM by dback
Maybe they weren't listed above the credits, maybe they did or didn't get an Oscar nod, but everyone remembers them. Name a few, preferably with descriptions or a good quote:

Paulette Goddard, "The Women": "CHAMPAGNE?" Oh, that smile.
Ruth Hussey, "The Philadelphia Story": "Where's my wandering parakeet?"
Harvey Keitel, "Pulp Fiction"--for the suit.
Lili Taylor "Say Anything"--for the Joe saga (set to music), of course.
Sam Rockwell, "Galaxy Quest"--90+ minutes of hysteria.
Sigourney Weaver, "Jeffrey"--"It all goes back to mother, doesn't it?...don't lie to me, I'll call her!"
Laura Dern, "Dr. T & the Women"--soused for the entire movie, in outfits beyond description.
Stockard Channing, "Isn't She Great?"--see above.
Kevin Spacey, "L.A. Confidential"--what a death scene.
Olivia DeHavilland, "Gone With The Wind"--"Be kind to Captain Butler...he loves you so." Aannnnnnddddd I'm in tears.
Ally Sheedy, "The Breakfast Club"--"I'm not a nymphomaniac, I'm a compulsive liar."
Madeline Kahn, "What's Up Doc?"--"I am not A Eunice Burns, I am THE Eunice Burns!"
Dianne Weist, "Bullets Over Broadway"--"Don't speak!"
Sean Astin, "Lord of the Rings"--for being the moral center of the saga.
Joan Cusack, "Gross Pointe Blank"--the 3-way phone call.
Daryl Hannah, "Steel Magnolias"--"I will not allow personal tragedy to interfere with my ability to do good hair!"
Amanda Peet, "The Whole Nine Yards"--a gun and heels, that's it.
Whoopi Goldberg, "The Player"--the tampon scene.
Carrie Fisher, "When Harry Met Sally": "(She's) thin, pretty, big tits. Your basic nightmare."
Emma Thompson, "Impromptu"--for playing a complete, utter nitwit with such energy and verve, you like her anyways.
Rutger Hauer, "Blade Runner"--another great death scene.
Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet"--yikes.

2. Wilfred Brambell: Hard Days Night; Joe Brown: Some Like It Hot
You gotta be a great scene stealer in a Beatles movie...



And from Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe?
