Christopher Walken's most Walken-y line delivery? (He just turned 80)
 
Saw it was his 80th birthday recently and got me thinking how there's no one else around really like him.
Maybe it's a dying art larger than life actors like him with immense screen charisma.
Especially how uses his voice to deliver lines hilariously, like the video shows. My favourite gotta be the way he says "UP HIS ASS" in Pulp Fiction :laugh: Would love to hear other favourites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV-r...el=DelCalloway

I love how he delivers this line in The Dead Zone:

"You got a problem because you don't know Army terminology. The place where a U.S. Soldier goes to defecate, relieve himself, open his bowels, shit, fart, dump, crap, and unload is called a latrine. La-trine, from the French."
"By God, that's a good choice. You won't have many friends here, Soldier, but I'll be one of them."

My favorite Walken moment is not exactly a line... But I can't not share it.

The part where he says, "...so he hid it, and one place he knew he could hide something...his ass!" cracks me up. What's really funny about it is that it is delivered to a young boy from a grown man, and that's after he gave a very focused "age-appropriate" speech.

"I really live it up when you're gone"


"...yawn"


Are the two that came to mind.

He has some completely nonsensical dialogue in Gigli, something about putting a pie on his head, which is great fun watching him completely mangle even further with his Walkenisms.

At Close Range is one of the best movies of the 80's. Criminally overlooked and underrated. Walken and Sean Penn were terrific in this movie. I like the part at 0:50 where Walken says "He thinks he got class.... having a hamburger steak" followed by laughter.

Whatever it is, I think it has to be on the older side, before his delivery became a thing and he leaned into it so much.

Whenever Walken's "Walken-ness" is brought up, I'm always reminded of Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. Probably not a very memorable film otherwise (I hardly remember anything else), but his performance as a quadraplegic crime-lord always stuck with me. Even without moving, he manages to be so menacing, it's just chilling.
