I will say communication is healthy ah
healthy telling people she dreams of me
being castrated florentine is healthy
good guy are bad this is one
unpredictable and unconventional actor
and then I pass the buck to you welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for Kevin
Spacey’s top 10 performances number 10
lieutenant Chris Sabian the negotiator
yeah Danny Roman this is Chris Sabian
here Spacey doesn’t spend the majority
of his time making Hollywood
blockbusters but when he does it he
doesn’t well that’s the best I can do in
this formulaic but engaging action
thriller he’s a Chicago hostage
negotiator locked in a battle of wits
with fellow negotiator Danny Roman
played by samuel l.jackson this is one
case where the actors make the movie I
wouldn’t miss it for the world whether
in the action sequences or in the quiet
moments in between you have no idea the
chemistry between Spacey and Jackson
ensures this one is well worth the price
of admission oh really I’ve been here a
half hour how do you know that number 9
Eugene Simonet pay it forward welcome to
the seventh grade an inspirational yet
not particularly nice Nevada teacher
excuse me
gives his students a not so simple
assignment come up with an idea that
will improve the world the realm of
possibility exists where in each of you
damaged on the inside and the outside
Spacey plays mr. Simonet with all the
hurt and vulnerability befitting of such
a character who’s stuck in a rut with
seemingly no way out one I have
absolutely no idea what you’re talking
about into I don’t know who you are
Arlene McKinney my boys in your social
studies class Trevor it’s his friendship
with his student Haley Joel Osment and
his awkward romance with the equally
damaged Helen Hunt Oh
hello that bring about the best moments
in this emotionally draining film you
don’t see me right my life my life is
familiar my life is it’s manageable
number eight bobby darin beyond the sea
though it was met with polite applause
from critics this biopic was a passion
project for Spacey and you can see that
in every frame sometimes paralleling his
own story Spacey portrays Darrin through
his short life and career his successes
and his failures he also worked as
co-writer director and co-producer of
the film but his most surprising
contribution may be his singing voice
which is both fantastic and very similar
to Darren’s
the movie itself may have its missteps
but Spacey’s performance is always
wonderful
maybe movie audiences are do sober maybe
it’s reality the nightclubs are reality
it’s not like the freaking movies that
are all goddamn fake number 7 Lloyd
Chesser the ref if you don’t mind the
corpse still has the floor Denis Leary’s
bumbling clumsy criminal doesn’t know
what he’s in for when he takes this duo
hostage she’s impossible to satisfy she
lives in her fantasies specie plays one
half of this bitter couple who’s on
their way home from a failed marriage
counselling session and who are
heavyweights when it comes to doling out
insults why don’t you have oral sex –
I’ll go wait in the car with his acerbic
wit and fantastic comedic timing Spacey
and his wife played by Judy Davis spit
out abuse of the highest order
suppose you’ll use this drama as a
reason to have another affair with this
film’s expert mix of comedy and drama
it’s a wonder it didn’t do better at the
box office I think we need a ruling on
this number 6 John Doe 7 you’re looking
he’s a dark shadow over the entire film
but Spacey only shows up near the end of
this David Fincher’s psychological
thriller I’m not special but he
completely owns every scene he’s in as
the serial killer hunted by detectives
Mills and Somerset Spacey is a calm and
menacing psychopath who projects an air
of self-righteousness and arrogance and
a personality so twisted and complex
you’re never certain what’s on his mind
when this is done
when it’s finished people will barely be
able to comprehend they won’t be able to
deny species depiction of pure evil will
haunt you long after the film is over
you’re alive because I didn’t kill you
freeze police number five Detective
Sergeant Jack Vincennes LA Confidential
channeling Dean Martin on his directors
advice Spacey portrays Benson as a
swaggering cocky too big for his
britches guy who ain’t the most honest
cop on the block next to you I’m clean
and smart he cares more about Hollywood
glamour his own reputation and his TV
show than he does about solving real
cases boys but that changes when one of
his actor friends is murdered soon
enough
Vinson is putting his nose to the
grindstone to crack the case oh I just
keep hearing rumors you know high-class
porn drugs hookers that look like movie
stars complex layered and ever-evolving
this Spacey performance will have you
questioning things to the very end I
mess something up I’m trying to make
amends don’t start trying to do the
right thing Boyle ya know the practice
have you gone completely insane give me
the gun now
number four buddy Ackerman swimming with
sharks shut up listen and learn need an
actor to portray a bastard of a boss
higher Kevin Spacey well I’m glad you
see it my way
now though he later reprised this type
of role in Horrible Bosses well no but
according to this you were two minutes
late
Spacey is at his sadistic best as buddy
Ackerman a movie big shot and boss from
hell you have no brain one of Spacey’s
most devilish creations buddy is a
perfect fit for the actor since he
allows him to mix wit and scathing humor
as he targets a young writer with
consistent humiliation this is not
sweetened load this is equal blue packet
sweeten Lois pink
however when Ackerman finally reveals
his vulnerability we see layers we never
expected dog honey so glad you made it
on time darling
because you got some splainin to though
there are two kinds of pain sort of pain
that makes you strong or useless pain
number 3 Francis Frank Underwood house
of cards I have no patience for useless
things
allowing Spacey to turn on a dime from
sickly-sweet to cold as ice Frank
Underwood is a United States politician
with grand plans to seek the highest
office in the land and he never misses
an opportunity to tell us his plans
directly I’m feeling hungry today with
enough southern charm to win over almost
anyone and enough cunning to beat anyone
at politics I’m ready for battle
come on Underwood is what we’ve come to
expect from a standout Spacey role witty
power-hungry narcissistic and driven and
for that the after earned a Golden Globe
not me love you Francis
how do you shoot the devil in the back
number two Roger verbal Kint the usual
suspects what if you miss deservedly
winning Spacey his first Oscar for Best
Supporting Actor is this suspicious but
seemingly naive and innocent con artist
who suffers from cerebral palsy I’m
really thirsty
I used to dehydrate as a kid laying the
groundwork for the film Spacey uses his
interrogation by police to narrate the
story of the legendary faceless criminal
mastermind Keyser Soze and a drug deal
gone spectacularly wrong
though we shifty and spineless I’m not a
rat verbal is another layered character

low man on the totem pole but one with
more to him than meets the eye was
Keyser söze agent we had I mean the
devil himself before we unveil our top

person they see a crime you need my
