  • Your Favorite Small Part in A Film

    Now yes there are always cameos that are fun -- but I mean more a great character from a great movie that might have been in the movie for no more than a scene. Maybe even a line.

    I love Charlie Sheen in Ferris Bueller.
    Think Brad Pitt as Floyd in True Romance is brilliant.

    And one of my all time favorites is from Spaceballs. When they comb the dessert and the black guy goes "We aint found sh*t."

      I love the referee (George Latka) in the title fight scene in "Raging Bull". Just one close-up when he raises LaMotta´s hand, but what a lively face.

        The taxi driver in THE BIG SLEEP - the cute gal who turns a handful of lines into a freinds-with-benefits invitation.

          Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. Should've won an Oscar.

            That'd be my homegirl Kristin Wiig.


            I always dug Mister Deltoid in Clockwork Orange. Only on screen for a couple minutes, but very effective.


            And for some reason I always had a soft spot for the poor schmo who boarded
            the Millennium Falcon with Vader:

            ......VADER
            Anyone here?

            ....TROOPER
            No sir, but several escape pods have
            been jettisoned.

            .....VADER
            Any droids?

            ......TROOPER
            No sir. If there were any on board they
            must also have Jettisoned.

            .....VADER
            Wow. You're really earning your pay
            today, huh. That is ****IN' GENIUS.
            I could never have put that part together myself.
            DUH.

              There it is. I knew it was one of those female K names.

                  I love the late, great Sidney Pollack as Dustin Hoffman's agent in TOOTSIE.

                          Those are my favorites. Plus, slightly off topic, but love Walken in video below:

                            This is also one of my faves, along with Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louse - I remember seeing it in the theater, and thinking "Holy crap, that guy's going to be a major movie star!".
