- GregDude, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6Al Pacino was the best Satan, in
'The Devil's Advocate'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118971/ - k3nnyd, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Surprised at not seeing Pacino on this list also..
How about Dave Grohl in The Pick of Destiny?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBXiXXhpJjQ - NYConcepts, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Why he gotta be black!?
- mkriss5681, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5No Pachino? This list is lamer than Keanu's fake southern accent.
- 0260, on 11/09/2009, -0/+4My favorite devil. Gary Oldman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qQvXawnmjk - x00x, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3Yes, indeed. He was a helluva Satan.
Pacino: I want you to be yourself. Y'know, boy, guilt is like a bag of f*ing bricks.
All you gotta do is set it down.....
Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God? Well, I'll tell ya, lemme give you a little
inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts!
He gives this extraordinary gift and then--what does he do? I swear--for his own amusement--his own private cosmic gag reel--he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time! Look. But don't touch! Touch. But don't taste! Taste. Don't swallow! [laughs]
And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, he's laughing his sick ing ass off!!
He's a tight ass, he's a sadist, he's an absentee landlord!! Worship that, never!
I'm a fan of Man!
Vanity, definitely my favorite sin. - votic, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3> I think Elizabeth Hurley was the best human on film, ever

- Elranzer, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3Weird that they mentioned Pacino in the damn article summary.
- Hetman, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3I like my devil to be like al pacino. When I picture the devil that is who I see.
- HeDiggMe, on 11/09/2009, -0/+2That's so wrong. Satan's nose isn't that big.

Holy crap- so the Devil looks like Adriana Lima?! - ltkerr0r, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1The best Satan was Adam Sandler in "Dirty Work" alongside Gary Coleman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBZGSacj7y0 - Elranzer, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2According to Christian mythology, Satan was the archangel Lucifer, the guardian of light (the "Morning Star"), who fell from grace due to his vanity (and due to his charisma was able to convince 1/3 of Heaven's Angels to join him). Lucifer started a war against Heaven but was defeated by the 2/3 remaining angels lead by the archangel Michael. Lucifer and his army fell from grace and so he created his own kingdom, which is what is referred to as Hell. According to the myth, God does indeed play favorites and Lucifer was his favorite angel and apparently would forgive Lucifer if he would only just ask.
God created all of the angels, but they are not his equal or his brothers.
More of that in the books "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained" by John Milton (whom Al Pacino's Satan was named after in "The Devil's Advocate") which is actually where most of the modern mythology of Satan comes from. Much like the ideas of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory comes from Dante's "The Divine Comedy" trilogy rather than the Bible itself.
Though in the movie "Oh God, You Devil!" it appears that they are twins that resemble George Burns. - andyb747, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Here is one more...

- scruffybr, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2Your right Barbra Streisand is the face of Satan
- doctechnical, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1I liked the cylinder of swirly green stuff in John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness".
- junkneo, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Devil and Sadam from South Park. Best Gay Satan ever.
- inactive, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Eric Cartman is missing from that list...
- Elranzer, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1The best on-screen Satan of all time was Tim Curry in Ridley Scott's Legend...
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&resnum=0 ... - brandonb90, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Mark Pellegrino/ Jared Padalecki on Supernatural.
- tgc1, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1That's funny. I don't look like any of those people.
- ampdj89, on 11/11/2009, -0/+1Passion of the Christ.
- MyronMordino, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1I thought Viggo Mortensen had the best performance of the devil, even if it was for 10 minutes
- TeaBaggins, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1My favorite depictions are in the first Prophecy movie and Milton's version in Paradise Lost/Lucifer Comic (Gaimen used Milton's Lucifer as the basis of the character in the Sandman series). Both show that Lucifer is ultimately loyal to himself and his own machinations. He rips out Christopher Walken's heart to save humanity in The Prophecy because another angelic war would create another hell and no one steps on the Morning Star's toes. Paradise Lost really delves into the the first rebelion and really comes off as more of a civil rights battle than an evil rebellion. In the Lucifer comic he uses the truth, intellect and raw power just to get an escape from our creation and for once being truly free from God's influence.
- Elranzer, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Even more so, I loved Tilda Swinton's Gabriel in that movie.
Side note: why is it that every Hollywood movie that involves angels always makes Gabriel to be the bad guy?!
According Christian myth, God had four favored angels: Lucifer, Michael, Raphael and Uriel, with Lucifer as their leader and God's second-in-command (though apparently that wasn't enough for him). Gabriel replaced Lucifer after he fell, and Gabriel was also named the leader for some reason even though he was the newbie. - strad2, on 11/09/2009, -1/+1I'd beelze her bub, if you catch my drift...
... ok I've got nothing. - KrashTheMighty, on 11/09/2009, -1/+1wasn't Satan
- dillonflynn, on 11/09/2009, -2/+2You think THAT'S wacky, you should see all the cinematic makeovers they've given Jesus over the years!
Oh, wait... - DjBearPDX, on 11/09/2009, -1/+1Lost Souls was a great devil movie
- Elranzer, on 11/09/2009, -1/+1No... According to the mythology, Lucifer had his own look and was known as the most beautiful being in the universe. His charisma alone was what enabled him to get 1/3 of heaven to join in his rebellion against God. After Lucifer fell from grace, he's been known to imitate God to tempt and confuse humans, starting with the first ones, Adam and Eve.
Lucifer is a "creation" of God but not his son. Angels are not humans and apparently don't have souls or free will the way humans do. - defwheezer, on 11/09/2009, -2/+1I stand corrected, kinda: so the Devil looks like Jesus, who must look a bit like his father/mother who 'created' him (via classical genetics and all).
- Catchpen, on 11/09/2009, -2/+1Some reason I can't picture Satan chewing gum, rocking his head back and forth while never looking you in the eye while saying BOOYA!
- pwarnock, on 11/09/2009, -4/+2The irony of Roman Polanski and "Rosemary's Baby"
- defwheezer, on 11/09/2009, -4/+1The Devil Looks a lot like God, they are brothers after all (according to the Christian Bible at least).
