Very hard work. I know how it is.

Thanks for putting in the muscle to get it done.

I for one greatly appreciate Christopher Walken as an actor and a dancer and think his role in Batman Returns is greatly underrated.

It might have something to do with the fact that I feel Batman Returns was not so much a Batman movie as a Tim Burton movie featuring Batman.

I was impressed by Walken in Catch Me If You Can, though that wasn't my vote.

BTW, no love for Biloxi Blues? :twisted:

I had to go with Annie Hall as it was the first time most of us tasted that essence of Walken Awesomeness.

Wow. The first thing I saw him in was Next Stop, Greenwich Village.

He has been acting since 1953!

I didn't even realize there was a poll. Despite my love of Batman Returns I think I will be going with Pulp Fiction.

Weapon of Choice is a close second.

If you were an actor, and you had to deliver the line ...

"Go down to Marie Callender's, get me a big bowl of pie with some ice cream on it. Mm-MM, good! Put some on your head, your tongue would slap your brains out trying to get to it. Interested?"

(Other actor shakes his head no.)

"Sure?"

... how would you say those words? Think about that for a moment -- then watch how Christopher Walken does it:

The Christopher Walken striptease begins at 1:38. Like Bernadette, you will not be able to look away.

I love that scene. :lol: You have to imagine he was both taking the piss out of the appalling Bennifer as well as pushing the limits of his art.
