Steve Buscemi's best role?

[Robb]

I'm dogsitting at a house with HBO, and I've got Mr. Deeds on in the background. Steve had this brilliant bit part in this otherwise problematic movie, as a crazy person in jail, eating a french fry and Oreo pizza, incarcerated for biting the mailman because he thought he was trying to put a spell on him. :D

I love Steve. Where have you loved Steve?

[NightTrain]

1. "Reservoir Dogs" and "Fargo" come to mind immediately.

n/t

[Robb]

2. For sure.

He was actually good in "Armaggedon", an otherwise poop of a film.

...a big boom poop, but a poop nonetheless. :)

6. I also agree with those selections (nt)

3. "Parting Glances"

This was a low budget gay themed movie from the 80's. Steve Buscemi played a gay, HIV+ friend of one of the main characters.

A wonderful performance.

4. Garland Greene, Con Air

one moment brilliant and calm, then crazy as a loon.

one of the best lines in cinema is where to the strains of lynard skynard's "sweet home alabama" he mentions the strangeness of partying on an air plane to the music of a band who died in a plane crash.

i snorted beer out my nose when he said that!

5. Ghost World, Fargo

Actually, I love him in everything! He is by far my favorite character actor!

7. Donny

As in "Shut the fuck up Donny" and "I am the Walrus". The Big Lebowski.

13. omg you are so right!

'I AM THE WALRUS!'

8. Fargo.

"Complete fuckin' silence. See how you like it."

[tridim]

10. "Two can play at that game tough guy"

"I got shot! I got shot in the fucking face!"

What a great flick. I might have to watch it for the umteenth time tonight.

9. Reservoir Dogs and Ghost World

[Mobius]

11. Rockhound - Armegeddon

[On the Road]

12. 'Ghost World' Would be My Selection

Partly because he played a rounded character rather than a cartoon character.

14. Was it happy gilmour?

When Steve Buscemi is that guy that Happy calls and apologizes to for teasing so much in high school, and Steve accepts, and they hang up, and Steve marks him off of the kill list and starts putting on lipstick. That was Steve at his best!

15. Luke in "Lonesome Dove"

"I ain't no doctor." Truer words by a character never spoken.

This role was the foundation, the blueprint, for all others that followed for him.
