he’s the king of quirky cameos boy I
sure heard about you buy you welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our top 10 favorite
Christopher Walken performances number
10 Whitley Strieber communion this movie
is really not very good but you can’t
have a list of memorable Walken
performances without it so why not kick
off the list with the weirdest of the
bunch I am you Jew me yeah who else but
Christopher Walken could mesh so
seamlessly with the frightening array of
crazy crap that goes on in this movie
instead of giving you a strong central
character to save you from the weirdness
his presence just makes it all the more
disturbing number 9 Gabriel the prophecy
this supernatural thriller is the
perfect example of a film that wouldn’t
be on anyone’s radar without Christopher
Walken the 80s and 90s were his heyday
when it came to villainous characters
and this half terrifying half hammy
portrayal of a very angry angel is evil
Walken at its most unrestrained you know
how you got that dent your top lip way
back before you belong
that’s what it was secret then I put my
finger there I said oh and viggo
mortensen plays the devil and each
walkins hard at the end that’s worth the
price of admission though number eight
Cesar the exterminator mouse hunt you
figure that when they wrote the script
for this movie they just said okay so
the exterminator is rather eccentric
well essentially he’s Christopher Walken
and everyone just understood right away
yes to think like a mouse do then if you
can think like a mouse you can
anticipate their moves ten oh the
writers didn’t have to go to great
lengths to show the audience just how
nutso their character was one look into
walkins eyes and you know right away
number seven
mr. Smith nick of time Walken often
plays characters with shades of weird
but here he proves he can pull off the
straight-up bad guy just as easily of
course there’s a scene scaling walk and
speech thrown in for good measure
but it’s his effortless friendly while
threatening demeanor that makes him such
a convincing and scary villain that’s
right I did I killed him he dug one too
many times so I put a bullet in his eye
then I put two more into him just to
make sure no that was somebody I loved I
loved him but I got the call I put him
down like a sick animal it may not be a
role that only he could have played but
he definitely adds that special touch to
an otherwise straightforward flick
number six Johnny Smith the dead zone
that crazy look in walkins eyes is used
to great effect in this movie he plays a
man stricken with haunting premonitions
after being hit in the head in this
Stephen King inspired tale the story
requires a certain morbid weirdness to
bring it to life and walkins unhinged
persona manages the task perfectly I’m
scared Sam
number five Don Vincenzo kakari true
romance this entire movie is essentially
a well written sequence of cameos so it
makes sense the head bad guy should be
the king of cameos himself Walken steal
scenes is a mob boss who was attempting
to intimidate the hero’s father played
by Dennis Hopper not too frightening not
too friendly Walken still manages to
shine in a film overloaded with familiar
faces since 1984 number 4 Frank Abagnale
senior catch me if you can the memorable
to my story from this globe-trotting
adventure is classic Walken two little
mice fell in a bucket of cream but
there’s much more going on here than one
quirky monologue at the beginning of the
movie you’re not sure what to make of
Walken’s character in fact his sly
meanness is off-putting but it’s that
complexity which makes him such an
endearing father figure the scene in
which he confronts his con artist son is
unexpectedly heartbreaking and is surely
why this role got him an Oscar
nomination the United States government
champ
running for the hills ah the moon number
3 Frank white king of New York walk-ins
turn as a gangster turned modern-day
Robin Hood is a true powerhouse walk in
performance if ever there was one while
smaller quirky roles have become his
trademark more recently this movie
proves that in his prime he could carry
entire movies on charisma alone from
here on nothing goes down unless I’m
involved no black jack no dope fields no
nothing a nickel bag gets sold in the
park I want in he succeeds once again in
making a questionably motivated
character seem believable which is
something a more clean-cut actor
wouldn’t be able to pull off number 2
captain Koons pulp fiction while this
list surely proves that Walken can take
on starring roles with ease he’s become
legendary in recent years for his bit
parts and if there was ever one scene
that epitomized his rise to
the ultimate king of cameos it’s this
monologue from pulp fiction very serious
very stupid and more than a little
uncomfortable I hid this uncomfortable
hunk of metal up my ass two years
classic Walken number one
corporal McCain er Nick Java Tata bitch
The Deer Hunter we often think of Walken
as funny quirky weird but early in his
career he was a dead serious actor for
The Deer Hunter he consumed nothing but
bananas rice and water in order to
portray the shell of a man we see at the
end of the film here there is no
weirdness no bizarre monologue to quote
with your friends just a haunting and
Academy Award winning portrayal of a man
who’s beyond saving do you agree with
our list we’re sure we’ve left out a few
of your favorites so let us know what
you think in the comments no that’s out
