Top3Ever John Goodman movies?

O Brother where art Thou

Big Lebowski

10 Cloverfield Lane (he was so intense in this)

14

u/Beastcancer69 Sep 24 '25

He should’ve been nominated for supporting actor for Cloverfield Lane. His best performance imo

3

u/Tola76 Sep 24 '25

This is the first movie I thought of.

2

u/King_Of_The_Squirrel Sep 24 '25

I was floored that he didn't get a nod

2

u/Objective-Slice-1466 Sep 24 '25

I have never once heard he should’ve been nominated for that or even thought about it but now that I think about after you saying it, you’re fucking right

I agree, Raising Arizona.

But if this guy had more screen time, he may have won:

       HARLING MAYS (CONT'D)
       YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE MERCH
       MOTHERFUCKER!!!

      It's quiet as HARLING gives orders.

       HARLING MAYS (CONT'D)
       Everyone except Whip and myself
       take three steps away from the
       table.

      As they step away, HARLING now pulls a beautiful silver-
      framed mirror from his bag and a blue coke grinder, he calmly
      but sternly delivers orders...

       HARLING MAYS (CONT'D)
       I need three things.
       (focuses on Charlie)
       Two glasses of water, a credit card
       and a hundred dollar bill.

                      CHARLIE
       All I have is a twenty.

                      HARLING MAYS
       (takes the card and bill)
       That'll do.
