Poll question: The DEVIL you say! Who's the Best Film Satan?
I was thinking about this on the way to work after hearing Bush's voice in the car and screaming "EEEAGH! IT'S THE ANTICHRIST!!" for about the 300th time this year alone. Bush isn't SMART enough to actually be Satan, or even the Antichrist.

There've been a FEW actors in that role, but Film Buff that I am, I actually couldn't come up with more than the ones on this list. Mind you, I do not include the "Damien Thornes" and "Pinheads," we aren't talking mere DEMONS here.

So rate your fave, or add yours to to the list. The Devil made me do it.

1. Went with Von Sydow....
That last speach while he's shaking off the dust of the building, starting with "Sometimes I really HATE this job."

2. Robert DeNiro as Louis Cyphre in "Angel Heart"
I noticed he's absent from the poll.

11. I was thinking of him too when I posted the other and of course....
Christopher Walken would be a great one. That is if he hasn't played one already.

3. Peter Stromare, no doubt.
Satan as sociopathic lunatic, though Viggo Mortenson's drifter Satan was a cool archtype as well.

5. Wrong
Peter Cook in "Bedazzled."

Which I have every expectation Hollywood will remake next year, casting Jim Carrey.

7. Too late.
It was done in 2000, with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser.


And yes, it sucked.
