Best scene stealers in a film

[one eyed jack]

Then again from the same director, Sir Lawrence Olivier stole it from Dustin in Marathon Man.

Then we could say Han Solo stole it in Star Wars from namby pamby Luke Skywalker...I dont know a kid who watched that film that didnt mimic Han Solo instead of Luke. Those goodytwo shoes jedi Knights are so boring...Just like priests are in real life. Han Solo even had a fat arse hand cannon man. He looked gangsta!

Whoa! Lest I forget, the plastic animatronic called ET from the cutesy kids....Jaws from Richard Scheider. The shark was such a scene stealer it spawned shit sequels. Who gave a hoot the film was shit people just wanted to see that shark eat people!!!!

Lets face it the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Lets face it, people made that film a hit because they wanted to see a T-Rex munch down some man burger. I wouldve demanded my money back if I didnt see that.

If we are on about True Romance, ALL the cameos were excellent, especially Gary Oldmans 'Drexl' and Brad Pitts 'Floyd'

What about Irene Handel she was great in everything she appeared in, Two way stretch and The rebel spring to mind.

Stephen Tobolowsky (Ned Ryerson) in Groundhog Day.

And, of course:
Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther. People tend to forget that he was only hired as a supporting act and ended up stealing the whole movie.

We've missed out the most obvious candidate: Orson Welles in The Third Man.

Life achievement award for grand larceny in stealing films from their alleged stars should go to serial tea leaf Mr Walken.

Agreed, Mr Walken is one class act. I was a big Mickey Rourke fan 'back-in-the-day' and watched Homeboy, which is a brilliant boxing film. Walken matched and betterd him in every scene they shared, and remember, Rourke blew DeNiro away in Angel Heart

...........and another classic, Mickey Rourke as Marv in Sin City
