Sean: CIGARETTE BURNS was John Carpenter's first-season episode of the defunct Showtime anthology series "Masters of Horror." It's also one of the few episodes of that show to be worth more than a plug nickel.

In addition to many of the titles already mentioned, I also like Udo in Von Trier's version of MEDEA. Strange to see him (1) playing a victim rather than a kook, and (2) looking sort of like Al Pacino.

I was hoping his role -- or more to the point, his incredible exit -- in John Carpenter's CIGARETTE BURNS would warrant a mention. Oh well, what the hell.

i know the mine of insanity over which kier presides is both rich, deep and of high quality, but the two roles that instantly pop into my mind are a) the nameless rapist in 'breaking the waves' and 2) aage kruger from 'riget' ak 'the kingdom.

that's right, A) and 2).
