1 - Reservoir Dogs
2 - The Big Lebowski
3 - Con Air
4 - Armageddon
5 - Billy Madison
I can't think of a single movie that Steve Buscemi couldn't have made even more awesome. He is like the bacon of Hollywood. Have a boring movie and need to spice it up? Buscemi Bits!
Case in point - Armageddon. I have no business liking this movie - then you throw in some Steve Buscemi and a cheesy Aerosmith song and now I'm stuck on my couch for 3 hours.
I have to imagine the guy who directed Armageddon was in the theater watching it after it came out and was like -
"Man - there aren't nearly enough Liv Tyler shots in this movie.
And it is getting pretty cheesy - Ben Affleck might have been a horrible decision.
Wait...what's this? STEVE BUSCEMI!
Man, I'm glad I called THAT guy*!"
(*For those counting that is my third Billy Madison reference in the last week - it isn't even for fun anymore - it is a legitimate problem. Do they make a patch for this? I can quit anytime I want...I swear...I just don't want to...'He called the shit poop' ...ahhhhhhhh!)

Among Michael Bay's many directorial mistakes over the years is deciding the best way to film Buscemi is to hold the camera right up close on his pockmarked face.
One of his best decisions though is continuing to cast him in his movies. Probably should have put him in the last one too, it could have helped it out a little.
good uncredited performance in The Wedding Singer.
"Little news flash, Pop. Ha. Harold ain't so perfect. Remember that time in Puerto Rico when we picked up those two, uh... well, I guess they were prostitutes, but I don't remember paying."
No patch for Buscemitis, but I think they sell a cream for that now.
Okay, Buscemi is one of my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, actor today. My top 5 performances:
Paris je t'amie (and if you haven't seen this movie, go put it on your Netflix now)
28 Days
Armageddon
Fargo
Pulp Fiction
I love Steve Buscemi. And yes, I totally agree that Reservoir Dogs is ten times better just because he is in it.
Buscemi IS great. And quoting Billy Madison is even better. I have seen that movie about 8,000 times and I probably quote it every day for no reason, whether I'm around people or all by myself. And I always laugh to myself, like it's still funny after 8,000 times. Because it is.
i love your billy madison references, and moreover, steve is my favorite in that movie. i love the application of the red lipstick. gets me every single time.
"Have some more sloppy joes. I made 'em extra sloppy for yous. I know how yous kids like 'em sloppy."
and my favorite: "Stop looking at me, swan."
You MUST include Fargo in your list!!!!
Don't forget Big Daddy.
Now where's my pudding Snack Packs?
Thank god- I thought Billy Madison wasn't there for a second, and I lost all faith in you.
Silly me. *makes out with giant penguin*
Hey! What about Fargo?!
Steve Buscemi is the other Bacon brother?
What a guy.
I also feel this way about Bill Murray. I don't know, I just like every movie with Bill Murray. It never fails.
How about his stint on Sapranos? Steve Buscemi in an 80s white linen suit?
It made the 2004 season.
Wow...has it been that long?
If Steve Buscemi is bacon, does that mean we can change the game to "6 degrees from Steve Buscemi"?
The Big Lebowski is quite possibly the greatest movie of all times. Well, it's at least up there for sure. And Steve definitely adds magic to everything!
How strange...a co-worker and I were just talking about him yesterday. We thought he was the voice of one of the little robot dudes in the new Transformers...turns out not.
"Just wanted to feel the power between my legs".
- s. buscemi.
"Gross . . . did you see that guy's balls?
Yeah . . . they were weird looking!"
No Big Daddy? He was amazing in that.
"You owe me a sausage mcmuffin!"
i'll give you Con Air for buschemi's performance, but that movie was worse than aids mixed with indiana jones 4 mixed with more aids.
Love them crazy eyes.
hes one of those people you know has been in a million movies....but I could never answer one besides Fargo....
you boys and your movie quotes.
Fargo! Awesome movie, and he was great in it. And oh, yeah, he WAS in Big Daddy! :)
Had to comment... you totally forgot his role as Map to the Stars Eddie in Escape from LA...
Brad Pitt and Robert Pattinson don't hold a candle... Buscemi is amazing! Love him to death!
I think his part in Ghost World should be a top 5.
