I think The Shoveler might've been my favorite.

Was that the movie with the superheroine with Invisibility powers... but they'll only work if nobody's looking at her? Brilliant, that power. She'd be my actual favorite... but I guess we must (?) assume she has the superpower.

So yeah, then, William L. Macy's hangdog The Shoveler. I laugh just thinking about him.
