Who else could make "the dark side of the Force" sound sexy?
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
I think JEJ has the most iconic voice going. Seriously.
I agree

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Who else could make "the dark side of the Force" sound sexy?
Darth Maul.
Wait, he made it look sexy....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who else could make "the dark side of the Force" sound sexy?
Jeremy Irons.
No, a bunch of people could do that.
While not liking Clint Eastwood very much, nor his voice, I can totally see the choice.
But this is a list with Charo on it.

Richard Burton's not on the list. You can't have a list of top cinematic voices that doesn't include Richard Burton. That would be Wrong!

Anyway, we could use a little more cowbell.
There's a song that's being played a lot now called LIttle Sister (I think), a cow bell is featured and I've just now gotten to the point where I can take the song seriously and not flash to that SNL Skit.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
Alan Rickman wasn't on that list. That list is dead to me.

OMG, I can't believe I didn't think of that! He should be near the top with James Earl Jones.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
So for X3 we've got Vinnie Jones playing Juggernaut, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and Maggie Grace as a third Kitty Pryde in as many films, almost certain to get a real role this go 'round. Discuss?

26. Peter Lorre - Cinema's first truly menacing voice, the German Lorre sounds more like a snake than a man.
That's probably one of the better descriptions of his voice I've seen. Only Lorre could have me memorize his passionate defense of his compulsion to kill in the original German, which I don't even speak.
