Best "Movie" Drunk?

[Bullaholic]

Who played the best "drunk" in a movie:

Lee Marvin- "Cat Ballou" & "Paint Your Wagon"

Dudley Moore- "Arthur"

[Adidas410s]

Tim McGraw in "Friday Night Lights" was VERY convincing IMO...

James Dean (Jet Rink)- "Giant"

[piratebg]

Dudley Moore played the best drunk period. No body, and I mean no body, stumpled and slurred better than Arthur. :thumbsup:

[Phil C]

Probably Lee Marvin because he was the one that won the oscar.

[Phil C]

Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick were very good in the movie The Days of Wine and Roses. It was a drama and showed how alcohol can destroy one's life. Both of them were nominated for best actor/actress but they didn't win.

Nicholas Cage flat out wore me out watching him drink himself to death in Leaving Las Vegas. :hairpunk:

[Bullaholic]

Dan Ackroyd- "Trading Places"

John Belushi- "Animal House"

[crzyjournalist03]

Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates series!!!

[big daddy russ]

Billy Bob Thornton is a great drunk no matter what movie he's in.

[Bullaholic]

Trivia for Phil C, and others---In which of his movies did John Wayne get drunk?

"The Horse Soldiers"

[Phantom Stang]

Paul Newman in Hud comes to mind.

I would have to agree with you on that one! He did a pretty good job;)

Maybe not the best but one of my fav.

[Maroon87]

This might not qualify but Kurt Russell was drinking Scotch all through "The Thing." I thought that was cool as hell.:cool:

[Buccaneer]

Arthur, RIP Dudley

[ILS1]

Best "Movie" Whacked Out Of Their Minds On Drugs (and in REAL LIFE) would DEFINITELY be Robert Downey Jr. in Less Than Zero. Great movie too!!!

FRANK THE TANK, FRANK THE TANK

but the guy in dazed and confused the one that says, "You know what the good thing about high school girls are I get older and they stay the same age." i guess he was more of a stoner though

He also got drunk in North to Alaska. In fact I think he also had a drunk scene in True Grit.

I agree.

I may not have the quote exactly right, but when he goes to talk to his future father-in-law... They are in the study and the father-in-law says something like, "I believe drinking impairs your decision-making. Don't you agree?" and Arthur says, "I don't know. I CAN'T DECIDE." That still cracks me up every time. He gets my vote.
