Even though I have the DVD, if I'm flipping through the channels and come across this, I watch it to the finish.

I loved that movie, but I think a movie has to be out at least a few years to make that type of statement.

Mine is either John Goodman in Big Lebowski or Owen Wilson in BottleRocket.

Matt Dillon as Bukowsky in Factotum was pretty good (poss. NSFW)
