[@goatmeal5241]

Meanwhile Heath Ledger gets Supporting for the Dark Knight... That has always pissed me off. That movie was NOT about Batman, it was about the Joker.

[@therandytomato5679]

It wasn't simply about either. It was about the ideological struggle between the two (and in doing so highlights the inherent conflict between the continued necessary existence of Batman and being able to fully achieve his goals), with Dent/Two-Face as the surrogate for this struggle. But Joker was the supporting character - since the audience focalises through Batman/Bruce Wayne for the majority. Same for Silence of the Lambs. The audience sees through Clarice, not Hannibal.

[@SarahIlayda]

I was thinking the same thing! I thought he was in at least half of the movie, what a great performance.

[@TJMiton]

Probably comes down to there not being another male lead in that movie. By contrast, the Joker is clearly a supporting character in a movie with Batman as the male lead.

Cause pulp fiction sucked...It showed a lack of concept and a lack of understanding of the subject on which it was based. It also has terentino-itis in that he has no ability to hold himself back. Sometimes that inability works in his favor such as django or kill bill, but in pulp fiction it creates an uneven tone that is only magnified by the breaking of the three act structure.

[@Taylor-cu2dh]

Mizino: In Over My Head. What are you taking about? Pulp Fiction is a classic above all classics

[@mizinoinovermyhead.7523]

@@Taylor-cu2dh No its not. It doesn't know when to stop for one thing, the scene with the guy getting shot in the back seat doesn't do anything for the over arcing narrative of the movie and only serves to provide blood and guts. The over dose bit isn't needed either. The tone moves from serious to funny inconsistently and for no particular reason, and its largely due to the non-linear format that he adopted from pulp novels. Problem is thats the only thematic thing he drew from pulp novels. Pulp novels and comics had a dark and light balance to them that isn't adopted here (think the sin city comic or the shadow radio shows). They didn't tell their stories out of order for a purpose but meerly because they were going back to tell a portion of the story that was needed to make the current point in the story make sense. They had simple villains and simple heroes. Almost none of that was pulled into the movie as he was trying to duplicate a style he didn't understand. For instance compare it to kill bill. They are both trying to mimic a style. Pulps for pulp fiction, and asian media for kill bill. Kill bill continues sword fight themes all the way through it, the revenge narrative, the hero without a name ( yojimbo), there is even an animated segment. Verse just the out of order story telling in pulp fiction. Its not as good a film as several of his others but he's becoming a bit of a one trick pony sadly as all of his films are setup as mimics of other directors or of specific movie styles.

Where the hell is J.K. Simmons performance in Whiplash? Are you kidding me?

[@lunaticwork]

J.K does deserve a mention here. His performance took Whiplash to a whole new level.

[@MC-bb3zx]

+jetlife My exact thought too. With all due respect to incredible Miles Teller, JK Simmons is what made Whiplash a fantastic movie.

[@DarkCyberElf]

Technically his character is a primary/main character in that film though. He's absolutely a focus of that film as much as Miles Teller's character is.

[@QuakerOaths]

Make your own list and throw him in if it matters that much

[@jetlife3854]

+DarkCyberElf (Mylon Requiem) no, he's considered a supporting character, he won an oscar for it as well.

Tim Roth in Rob Roy.. Amazing performance!

[@leecrt967]

Yes. But he didn't quite steal the show.

[@bl4ck0ut22]

First one of these list videos on YT I actually agree with. It's amazing how often Goodfellas is overlooked on any of them. Plus Christian Bale's performance in The Fighter is one of my favorites of his.

Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls. She stole the show and overshadowed Beyonce.

I still don't get how Tatum was considered a "supporting actress" in that movie... I mean, it was basically a road flick with her and Ryan as the two main stars, with Addie's character every bit as important as Moses'. Supporting actors in that film would've included Madelyn Kahn and John Hillerman...

Old, but the actors who played Ma & Pa Kettle in _The Egg and I_ were such a hit with the audience, a whole series of movies were made featuring them as the same characters.

Anton Baumgartner Pitt was fantastic in that film but I'd say he's more the main actor, whereas the actor who portrayed Brick Top was a supporting role. HE deserved it.

Really? Who was the main character if not him? I suppose maybe there was no main character, rather, an ensemble? He definitely was the best part of the film for the majority of, apart from a few Benecio lines...

[@daRiddler32]

Romeo Volpe I always viewed it as an ensemble piece

[@sexysupervillain802]

It definitely is, I just didn't realize that an ensemble meant that there was no particular main character. I don't know if they've already done one because I just stumbled across this site last night, but a "Best Ensemble" list would be cool.
