Always wonderful, even if he's in a mediocre movie.

If you've seen "Pennies From Heaven", you will note he's quite a good "song and dance man", too.

I heard a rumour he tries to slip a little dance into every movie he's in, as he loves to dance.

His starring role in the Fat Boy Slim video is the only memorable music video from the past few years.

He was in a video called "Weapon of Choice" that was pretty good. The song sucked but anything with Walken in it is pretty good.

I don't know what he was better in, The Deer Hunter or The Country Bears......

Gotta love his small role in Pulp Fiction though.

Right up there with Samuel L. Jackson on the coolest actors list. His role in Batman Returns as Max Shreck with the fright wig was ace.

Just watched 'Man On Fire' recently again....he has a wonderfully muted performance. "His art is death....and he's about to paint his masterpiece"....freakin' brilliant.

I also made sure to pick up the DVD, Saturday Night Live - The Best of Christopher Walken (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002I84EE/qid=1124060144/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/102-4689185-0980909?v=glance&s=dvd). Good stuff.

He's one of the few actors who will keep me interested in a boring, mediocre move just because of his role in it.
