Best Portrayal of the Devil - Top 10

How to start bitching about anything in this one? Even pretty Keanu seems to put some effort to his role (actually the scene of despair at hospital's ward is one of the best pieces he's been ever capable to deliver). Divine Al is, as always, divine (best antichristian monologue to date), same with she-devil Connie Nielsen, but from completely different reasons. With no doubt this is the top position on my 'satanic' shelf.

Very few films brings such vivid memories of time and space of their reception (for me it was school winter camp '91 during which I'd watched it at least five times). Back in the days Eddie Murphy was the funniest man alive, but Charles Dance still makes one of the best devils (a demon actually) in the cinema. Personal and constantly enjoyable gem from the 80's.

Remember times when good o'le Mickey was cute pretty boy (even when 'bit chunky, as playing Angel) before booze and professional box fighters had fixed him to real life Marv from Sin City? Well, his boyish look is one but lets not forget about Rourke's solid acting, too. Would you believe that young Lisa Bonet was given official permission from TV station bosses and Bill Cosby himself to take a part in new Parker's project, even if known it's going to be controversial? Helluva good performance of Robert De Niro places this movie as the pearl on my 'satanic' shelf. Great shots & lights, and dense climate of Brooklyn/New Orlean in '55. Heavy stuff but I love it.

So far The Witches of Eastwick is the only comedy on my 'satanic' shelf (I've realized some time ago I have a number of movies with an embodiment of the Evil one, very tempting role for an actor, always reserved for someone big, not to use word 'good'). The devil incarnate (Nicholson) reads women like an open book, wears eccentric outfits and is always willing to have sex. Prince charming from hell against three wise women against small town God-loving community. And cherries, plenty of cherries.

Can't recall last time when I've seen so many known names in a single, fairly bad movie. Lucifer (Viggo Mortensen) trying to stop Gabriel's (Christopher Walken) rebellion in the name of keeping the order was the most interesting thing in a rather weak plot.

Flashy yet cool BMW commercial with some names and Gary Oldman as the Prince of Darkness.
