Revised List: Top 30 Best Supporting Actor

(A few obvious performances I still need to see. Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter, Burt Lancaster in Sweet Smell of Success, Dana Andrews in The Ox-Bow Incident, James Dunn in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, a great deal of John Huston's work. I should also note that I really, really want to put Tsutomu Yamazaki in High and Low on the list but I'll need awhile to decide why exactly he's so effective, is it the role, direction, performance)

(Also, some very honourable mentions: Henry Travers and Lionel Barrymore in It's a Wonderful Life, Harold Russell in The Best Years of Our Lives, Daniel Day-Lewis in A Room With a View, Martin Stephens in The Innocents, Leonardo DiCaprio in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Jeffrey DeMunn and Donald Sutherland in Citizen X, Max Von Sydow in The Three Days of Condor, John Cazale in Dog Day Afternoon, Anthony Quayle in Ice Cold in Alex, Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden and Rod Steiger in On the Waterfront, Ben Whishaw in Cloud Atlas, John Cazale in Dog Day Afternoon, Samuel L. Jackson in Django Unchained, Barkhad Abdi in Captain Phillips, Trevor Howard and Orson Welles in The Third Man and lastly, Burt Lancaster in Sweet Smell of Success who I'm holding off this list because I'm now definitely leaning far more towards lead than supporting)

30. Javier Bardem, Skyfall

I'll admit that with regard to Bond films I tend to lose quite a bit of enthusiasm for them upon re-watches, Spectre being a particularly notable example. As an overall film I'm not quite as big on Skyfall as I was before, but one aspect of the film I will say has stayed entirely over time is Javier Bardem's performance as Raoul Silva. I now kind of hate how they've nullified his character's importance by that plot twist in Spectre because of how brilliantly done Bardem's blend of ham and humour, and menace is nailed so perfectly here to make for a very memorable villain. 

29. Sessue Hayakawa, Bridge on the River Kwai

Hayakawa gives a great performance that could have so, so very easily gone into one-dimensional antagonist territory. Hayakawa restrains his performance in unison with Alec Guinness' great portrayal of a career soldier, and in turn makes his Saito an incredibly moving portrayal of a military commander gradually succumbing to a very peculiar form of madness. 

28. Rutger Hauer, Blade Runner

I love Blade Runner as a film but I'll be the first to admit that for the most part, it's the visuals and the imagination of Ridley Scott which captured me first time round. On re-watches however, what's even more compelling is the performance of Rutger Hauer. It's a technically impeccable performance with the physically imposing presence of an android he brings to his portrayal, but even more impressive is that heartbreaking sense of humanity he brings to Roy Batty that makes that final scene one of the greatest exit scenes in film history.

27. Laurence Olivier, Marathon Man

Dr Christian Szell might not be as morally complex a villain as the aforementioned three chappies, but I put him above them slightly because Olivier is just so entertaining and yet chilling to watch in an incredibly tricky role. His portrayal of the Nazi doctor manages to be both terrifying in a very subtle, restrained sort of way, while also being suitably realsitic, and even managing to derive a bit of dark humour from his character's complete lack of remorse.

26. Michael Clarke Duncan, The Green Mile

A bit of a break from villains. Duncan is perfectly cast as John Coffey, but I refuse to let that take away from his performance. He gives a heartfelt portrayal of this very unique, mystical figure and manages to turn a potentially paper-thin stereotype into a most magical depiction of a man lifting the sins of the world upon his broad soldiers, and represents kindness in its truest, most genuine form.

25. David Carradine, Kill Bill Vol. 2

Carradine gets one hell of a buildup to his performance here in the first Kill Bill and he certainly does not disappoint. In fact, he exceeds expectations as he doesn't play Bill as simply a villainous foil for the Bride to take her revenge upon, He makes Bill every bit the soulful, charismatic and jealousy-consumed individual who earns the dramatic finale of this second installment through his compelling performance which only grows on re-watches,

24. George C. Scott/Sterling Hayden, Dr Strangelove

Yeah, I know, I'm cheating here, big-time. Anyway, both Scott and Hayden give one-note, but incredibly funny one-notes of hilarity in such different ways that work equally well in making Dr Strangelove the masterpiece in dark comedy it is. Sure, Kubrick might have had a great deal of input into how these performances played out, but it's still them giving the great performances.

23. Tom Courtenay, Dr Zhivago

A deceptively brief performance that really takes re-watches to fully appreciate. Courtenay gives a spine-tingling breakout performance here as Pasha Antipov, beginning with an infectious amount of enthusiasm and youthful idealism, which is masterfully warped into disillusionment and culminates with a terrific final scene.

22. Robert Duvall, Apocalypse Now

I don't actually love Apocalypse Now that much, it's a bit of a meandering film at points and I certainly don't feel it's as great as many build it up to be. Nevertheless I cannot deny the greatness of one aspect of the film I love, Duvall's performance as the deranged madman Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, who is by far the most fascinating character in the film. His physical portrayal of the always in command, always imposing, manical embodiment of a man made by war is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

21. Mark Strong, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Extended thoughts here: http://actorvsactor.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/head-to-head-tinker-tailor-soldier-spy.html. Strong gives a brilliant reactionary performance. Jim Prideaux is a great character and in Strong's hands, is both haunting and heart-rending in showing a tortured, mentally strained yet beautifully soulful man with one true care in life.

20. Christopher Walken, Seven Psychopaths 

Yes, I really should see The Deer Hunter. Anyway, Walken's performance here was such a pleasant surprise for me, as was the film itself. In a magnificent year for supporting performances (Walken, Whishaw, Bardem, Jackson and Dwight Henry/Sam Rockwell depending on my mood for the day, being a very strong top 5), and in a great ensemble Walken is the greatest. He's an absolute hoot whenever utilisng his very distinct Walken-isms to generate wry laughs, lends so much emotional weight to its more serious moments, and his final delivery of the Vietnamese Monk monologue just gets me every time. A magnificent performance, and it intrigues me when people tell me, this isn't even his best supporting performance.

19. Omar Sharif, Lawrence of Arabia

Sharif's performance in Lawrence of Arabia is one perfect supporting performance. The film is Peter O'Toole's performance through and through, and that Sharif manages to make any sort of impact would be impressive in his own right. That within the margins of the film he manages to craft an incredibly moving friendship with Lawrence, and show a unique arc in reverse of Lawrence's that only amplifies the film's greatness, is most certainly something to behold.

18. J.K. Simmons, Whiplash

Simmons has a great role here and boy does he know it. Terence Fletcher is one magnificent bastard and Simmons relishes in the opportunity to bark juicy, juicy lines like 'Now are you a rusher, or are you a dragger or are you gonna be on my fucking time?' with all the pulsating energy they warrant. There's never a tonal whiplash between the film's darkly humorous, darkly dramatic and even ultimately uplifting moments because of Simmon's brilliant handling of Fletcher as a man with the exterior of a monster, but who utilises it for very human reasons.

17. Claude Rains, Mr Smith Goes to Washington

Rains, giving his best performance, is simply pitch-perfect as the villain to Jimmy Stewart's heroic Mr Smith, by never going about the performance in any one way. He's charismatic, kindly and seems oh so genuine in that not-quite-façade he puts on when gently stringing Stewart along, coldly incisive in any scenes which requires that he be a more straightforward villain that are just tough to watch, and even manages to find a middle ground between these in brief, reactionary momnts in which he sems torn between his past as a good man, and his present status as a cog in the political system.

16. Steve Buscemi, Fargo

After Buscemi's performance in Fargo I've noticed a lot of films trying to ape his sort of character, the fast-talking reprehensible, ratty bastard who's not quite the Big Bad but thinks he is. Well first time's usually the best and Buscemi is one marvelously sleazy bag of sleaze here as Carl, a wannabe professional crook who's anything but cut out for it. Buscemi revels in the stupidity of Carl in a humorous fashion, the criminal and egotistic side in a terrifically realistic fashion, and even manages to make his increasingly problematic situation somewhat sympathetic by making Carl Showalter one of the most pathetic criminals in cinematic history, and that's praise.

15. Sylvester Stallone, Creed

Who would've thunk it, Stallone making it onto this list? I've watched the film enough times now to be completely assured that I'm doing the right thing in listing Stallone's wonderful iteration of his most famous character here. Extended thoughts here: http://actorvsactor.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/analysis-best-supporting-actor-2015.html

14. Edward G. Robinson, Double Indemnity

How on earth was the biggest G in all film history, Edward G. Robinson, NEVER nominated for an Oscar? Inconceivable! Anyway, out of a long career of a great many turns, many of the criminal variety, Robinson's best performance came as Barton Keyes, the good to Barbara Stanwyck's marvellous femme fatale turn and Fred MacMurray's morally ugly counterpoint. It's a fantastic, talky performance that is a wonderfully entertaining scene-stealer as well as a very moving depiction of a lovely friendship with MacMurray's Walter Neff.

13. Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future

There are some roles which actors were just born to play, and Christopher Lloyd and Doctor Emmett Brown are one example of such a wonderful, perfect unison. Lloyd is one of the most memorable aspects of one of the greatest movies of all-time, and I love watching his fun, joyous and incredibly endearing performance as much as I love watching the film, it's a masterclass in how to play the 'mad scientist' routine with the right amount of laughs, heart and pure, unbridled energy.

12. Richard Jordan, Gettysburg

Gettysburg is an incredible film, one I'm half-tempted to give my 1993 win to, and it's a spectacle in more ways than one. There's that beautiful score of course, the sheer scope and grandeur of its depiction of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the depiction of the complex relationships between both sides of the Civil War. Amongst all these excellently drawn conflicts and wonderful performances is the incredible work of Richard Jordan as Confederate Brigadier General Lewis Armistead. Going into the film I was expecting to hate the Confederate side and see them all as villains. That's certainly not the case here. Jordan gives a great performance as a man conflicted by his duties as a general and his friendship with a man on the enemy's side. He brings to life both the heroic valour of the soldier and also the tender love for his friends. His final scene is also one of the saddest in all film history: 'Not both of us, not all of us!'

11. Anthony Hopkins, Silence of the Lambs

A performance so influential and iconic it's easy to diminish its brilliance. Extended thoughts here (http://actorvsactor.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/head-to-head-hannibal-lecter-onscreen.html), but this is a fantastic performance that makes not even the main villain of the film its most memorable centrepiece. Hopkins takes one big risk with Hannibal Lecter here and boy does it pay off.

10. Gary Oldman, Leon the Professional

Question: Who loves this performance?

Answer: EVERYOOOOONE

The pure pill-popping evil of Norman Stansfield is probably the most intense performance in all of film history. Oldman's performance is hammy that's for sure, but it sure is scrumptious, succulent ham. Oldman gives this role his all, making the corrupt cop into an eccentric, terrifying, hilarious and self-hating fella who you just LOVE to hate. I have no qualms in calling this my favourite Gary Oldman performance because it is not only downright entertaining and chilling, it's also probably the most difficult challenge he's had in his whole career as this form of HAM can so, so easily go to the wrong side. You can't take your eyes off him whenever he's onscreen.

9. Robert Shaw, Jaws

Came for the shark, stayed for the Shaw. Shaw's performance as Quint in one of the greatest thrillers of all-time must be seen to be believed. One of the greatest actors of all-time, no matter what the role Shaw had this incredible screen presence he brought to each of his roles whether it was his nuanced leading turns in The Caretaker and The Hireling or his entertaining supporting turns in Robin and Marian, The Sting and of course, this. Shaw just is this man of the sea, he exudes this ambiance of Quint as a man with one thing on his mind, and that's hunting sharks, and gives a brilliantly stylized portrayal that is both supremely entertaining and powerful. 

8. Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet

Perhaps I spoke too soon in calling Oldman's performance the most intense of all-time because Hopper's pretty darn intense here too. Frank Booth is one man who can most certainly said to have no scruples whatsoever about any of his evil deeds. His reprehensible to the max and it's Dennis Hopper, of course he can do that, and never has evil been portrayed in such a searing, unsavory fashion. The unforgettable quality of Hopper's performance here is that he never shies away from the ugly aspects of what psychologically crafts this man's mindset into how it is, and like his unrepentant character Hopper gives an unsparing performance that lingers long after watching the film.

7. Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds

Hans Landa is one of the greatest villains in film history. Impossible to cast almost and Tarantino should count his blessings every day for having managed to find Christoph Waltz for the role. There are no words that can describe how much Waltz dominates every frame of the film he's in. Whenever he's offscreen, the film suffers a bit, and it's a great film, and the scenes which he's not in are still largely great, it's just that whenever he's in a scene he finds a little something to add to it, whether it be a chilling facial expression, a witty line delivery, or just a palatable menace or intrigue he adds to the scene, as well as perfectly portraying how Landa's always on the prowl, always on the search for something. 

6. Ralph Richardson, The Heiress

I would argue the supporting performance in Oscar history that most deserved to win, that didn't win. Richardson had such a natural grace on camera that shone through even if the quality of the roles were somewhat lacking. Whenever he had something with a little bit more substance he'd excel, and when he got a role like Dr Sloper in The Heiress...he would knock it out of the ballpark. Richardson is pitch perfect in his whole manner of the highly intelligent doctor, always ready at hand with some barbed, coldly incisive comment to make towards his daughter and her prospective fiancee. His disgust and distaste for the younger generation is only matched by his conflicting love for his deceased wife that helps bring about some of the greatest confrontational scenes in all of film history with Olivia de Havilland. Simply put a performance that's the best of its kind.

5. John Goodman, Barton Fink

1991 Supporting is oh so competitive a category for me, but Goodman's performance at least is a very worthy winner over Hopkins for me. His Charlie Meadows stands as the crowning achievement of a great career with many great performances and great collaborations with the Coen Brothers. It's a fascinating character study of a character who seems like he's going to be the usual lovable sidekick we've grown accustomed to for Goodman and he perfectly nails this very particular sort of affection and avuncular joviality Meadows offers to Barton Fink (John Turturro). Then as the film's revelations come about he's magnificent in deconstructing it all to the bone. A great performance and quite possibly the greatest of all Coen Brothers performances.

4. Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight

The greatest villain of all-time and I was wrong to ever take this performance for granted. Ledger's tragic death is one of the greatest 'what could have beens' and this performance encapsulates a side to his talents we never got to really see beyond well, this performance, but oh what a crowning achievement it is. He's unrecognisable with that peculiar voice, that strange way of walking, moving, just doing anything in a given scene, how he licks his chops, and above all his fascinating portrayal of the Joker's uniquely demented mindset. It's an incredibly daring performance that has never been surpassed before and after in terms of just how unique it is as a great performance. I love Ledger's portrayal of the Joker and I've yet to find someone who doesn't at least like the sheer scope, talent and daring involved in this performance.

3. Martin Landau, Ed Wood

1994 was such a great year for film. I'll talk about that more in a future post but just to list a few of the great films that came out, Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Ed Wood, Leon the Professional, anyway in terms of the supporting category at the Oscars it must've been a pain for voters to choose between Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield, and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. Well, maybe not. As much as I love Jackson's performance (he's my win in Lead, which is where I put him), Landau's portrayal of the horror legend is really the stuff of myths and legends. Landau doesn't play Bela, he lives Bela. It's so much more than just an impeccable mimicry of the man, which it is, but within the icon Landau instills so much comedy, pathos, tragedy to make an indelible presence as a man who finds new life through Ed Wood's passion. 

2. John Cazale, The Godfather Part II

One of the greatest what-ifs of all filmdom. What if John Cazale had never passed away so early? We'll never really know. But at least we have his great performances to look back on and see what a talent he was. His chilling performance as a loose canon in Dog Day Afternoon and of course his incredibly memorable portrayal of the 'stupid' brother of the Corleones, Fredo, in the second Godfather film. Fredo's idiocy and general failure to comprehend what the hell is going on in the world around him is movingly detailed by Cazale's sensitive portrayal of a man trying to make himself into a 'somebody' at a tragic cost to his family and his life. It's one of those great performances which builds up to of course, a great climactic scene, but beyond that also stands as a grand achievement in making an incredibly poignant impact in one of the greatest performances of all-time.

1. John Hurt, 10 Rillington Place

What can I say about this performance besides the fact that it is pure perfection. 10 Rillington Place is a film I have grown from greatly admiring to absolutely loving, although loving might be the wrong word, as it's such a cruel, unsparing film that really hits one in the gut feelings of horror and sadness. I'll talk more about Richard Attenborough's great performance as the murderer John Reginald Christie in the next post, but here I'll discuss Hurt. Now firstly, Hurt I believe has been considered by some to be lead in the film. Now though I personally consider him supporting, even if he were placed in lead for me he'd still be in my top 10 of all-time. Now one of the most intelligent aspects of 10 Rillington Place is the complexity it gives to the victims of Christie. His wife, one of his tenant's wife, even the bit-part player in the opening scene, and the baby, are all given tenderly developed characterizations that make their exits incredibly affecting.

Then we have Timothy John Evans. The masterstroke of the writing behind the performance, and of course Hurt's performance itself, is that Evans is never cheated in his characterization as an intrinsically sympathetic character. He's a very average joe in terms of social status, and decidedly below average in terms of intelligence, and Hurt brilliantly never sugercoats this by making Timothy Evans rather slow on the uptake in terms of understanding the world around him, and comprehending people. He also suggests an insecurity and pride within him that's also never shied away from, as Hurt also delves into one of the attributes of Evans that ultimately may have cost him his life, his lack of censure when talking about himself and occasionally making up tall stories to make up for his lack of intellectual capacity and social status. Now it would be easy enough to make Evans a one-note lout who can't do anything right but come on, it's John Hurt. He also suggests a great deal of intimacy and love for his onscreen wife and child, and makes their family relationship, though filled with arguments and tensions like all families do, heartwarming and genuine.

Having established the personality of Evans perfectly, Hurt's performance then becomes reactionary in the best possible way. His wife's decision to take an abortion at the hands of Christie infuses him with doubts and uncertainty which is marvellously portayed; and even that's nothing compared to his reaction at the death of his wife. Hurt's performance is the most emotionally draining performance in all of film history and he's so hard to watch because he's so great. The grief Timothy Evans feels at seeing his beloved in a lifeless state is great as he merges a confusion with a gradually growing awareness of what terrible thing has just occured. It's rare to see such an unhinged, emotional portrayal of grief on camera and it hurts just to watch Hurt displays such unbridled grief through his performance. Things do not get better for Evans as he is strung along by Christie to effectively become a fall-guy for his crimes.

Now Attenborough and Hurt share a very particular something in their scenes together that isn't chemistry, but not exactly anti-chemistry either, more of a manipulative 'friend'ship (though Christie most certainly is not a friend of any sort). Hurt plays Evans as just so hopelessly lost in all of this mess and unable to find his way out of a situation he digs himself deeper and deeper into. This culminates in the most tragic ending to any film character in film history. Evans firstly finds out that his daughter too has been murdered (although unaware that it is by the hand of Christie). In a manner of seconds Hurt perfectly shows how this news almost sucks the soul out of him forever through his heartbreaking reaction. Then as he valiantly fails to defend himself and is ultimately sentenced to hang Hurt is so brutally realistic in his depiction of a man more sinned against than sinning, and shows a disbelief and sadness mixed with almost a desire to die for having lost all his beloved ones, showing that for all his faults Timothy Evans was a good man at heart. This is an amazing performance that just gets better the more I think about it, and I have no qualms calling it the greatest supporting performance of all-time, and a perfect summation of what makes John Hurt one of my top 5 favourite actors of all-time.
