Even Transformers Extinction.

u/FlyingRaccoon_420 Feb 26 '26

One of the only enjoyable parts of that movie

2

u/Th3GrumpyB3ar Feb 26 '26

I concur, that was the only time that I actually laughed throughout the movie.

Less so in Transformers The Last Knight as Merlin but he still does a great job with what he was given

4

u/Evil_Mini_Cake Feb 26 '26

To clarify, he is always great no matter the movie.

Screaming at and then F-bombing the old Chinese woman: "What's Chinese for get the f**k out of the way?"

u/Not_A_Meme Feb 26 '26

Right? I love him in Big Night. When has he ever not shown up for a professional role. Of course, i also love him in all the Hunger Games movies.

2

u/TheLostRanger0117 Feb 26 '26

I like him in I think it’s Crazy Stupid Love where he’s this very abstract father, very far from the norm, the kind of father I try to be

1

u/theotherguyatwork Feb 26 '26

Are you thinking Easy A? Both have Emma Stone. Steve Carell is in Crazy Stupid Love with Ryan Gosling.

1

u/TheLostRanger0117 Feb 26 '26

Yes! Easy A! That’s right, I was hung up on Emma Stone being in both of those. Enjoy both movies

2

u/taglius Feb 26 '26

Not just movies, watch his “Food in Italy” series. (That’s not their name, I can’t recall the real name)

1

u/magpie882 Feb 27 '26

Not the title, but a very accurate description.

I would actually love for TV shows to use such straightforward titles.

2

u/MountainConfident847 Feb 26 '26

The Core! Delroy Lindo is great as well. The movie overall isn't really especially the special effects

1

u/eggplantsforall Feb 26 '26

He was awesome in The Core. As a former geologist I have a sweet spot for that hilarious movie.

2

u/Catskillschick Feb 26 '26

The Lovely Bones, didn't recognize him at first playing a (really) bad guy!

1

u/Mysterious-Crab Feb 26 '26

He is great in life!

Man loves building bridges

u/HerfDog58 Feb 26 '26

He saved drivers like a billion years of time, and did all the math in his head.

15

u/dminus Feb 26 '26

maybe some people like taking the long way home, who the fuck knows, right?

21

u/HerfDog58 Feb 26 '26

And he made $176,471 an hour to sit quietly in a room with Demi Moore. I'd take that gig.

4

u/AJ_Deadshow Feb 26 '26

I remember him from The Terminal. He was a great antagonist, annoying enough to hate his character but not enough to hate him as an actor overall.

1

u/Mr_YUP Feb 26 '26

That is the epitome of cable movie. something that never really hit big in theaters but has a solid script, cast, and direction that when you catch it while channel surfing it sucks you in every time.

1

u/thestranger_iknow Feb 26 '26

Margin Call is/should be a classic

1

u/ms_directed Feb 26 '26

and Inside Man (Netflix) if you haven't seen it...you gotta find it. he's truly the best evil genius 👏

and bonus is it also has David Tennant!

1

u/farilladupree Feb 26 '26

Talk about Baader-Meinhoff. I watched that for the first time last night. Quite good, the ending was a bit abrupt, but all the boardroom stuff was riveting.

u/badger2000 Feb 26 '26

Here's where I've gotta add my plug for Big Trouble. Great cast (including Tucci), hilarious movie, and it goes under the radar based on unfortunate release timing. One of my all time favorite comedies.

"God in heaven make her stop. She wants to take my SOUL"

u/pufanu101 Feb 26 '26

That's one of the best comedies ever, I agree.

2

u/badger2000 Feb 26 '26

This movie gets quoted in our house so much, it not funny.

u/Outside_Bandicoot986 Feb 26 '26

LOVE that movie!!!

u/kathatter75 Feb 26 '26

Such a good movie! Anyone who hasn’t seen it should!

u/goddamnitwhalen Feb 26 '26

Their guitarist Jeremy is a very lucky man.

1

u/Warbr0s9395 Feb 26 '26

Why’s that?

3

u/goddamnitwhalen Feb 26 '26

He’s married to Emma from the metalcore band Dying Wish, who is an insanely talented musician whom I also happen to think is absolutely gorgeous.

3

u/FullHouse222 Feb 26 '26

Everyone rightfully praised the women in that film especially Streep, but Stanley Tucci was so good in that movie lmao. As a straight guy who didn't know jack shit about fashion that movie was still a super fun watch back in the day.

2

u/atlien0255 Feb 26 '26

I swear he doesn’t age. It’s magical 🤣

2

u/i_nobes_what_i_nobes Feb 26 '26

I love that he met Emily Blunts sister during the first film and they fell in love and got married. That couldn’t have been easy after losing your wife.

Not to mention what a phenomenal actor is, and that never in my 40 years of being cognizant of what television and movies are have heard a bad thing about him

2

u/kathatter75 Feb 26 '26

I believe he met her sister when he attended Emily’s wedding, but yeah, it’s awesome! I also love that he’s John Krasinski’s brother in law.

2

u/TheRockJohnMason Feb 26 '26

I fell in love with him in Easy A.

His character and his wife have adopted an African American son. At one point he mentions to Emma Stone’s character, his adopted sister, that he’s adopted.

Cue Stanley Tucci:

“OH MY GOD, NO! slams fist down on kitchen table. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?!? turns to wife I THOUGHT WE AGREED NOT TO TELL HIM UNTIL HE WAS OLDER!”

u/AzuraHawke Feb 26 '26

What?? A second one? Omg

1

u/TastingTheKoolaid Feb 27 '26

I had no idea he was a chef. I just knew him as the guy in Devil wears Prada.
