[miketaterparker]

Where was Godzilla from Godzilla 2014? Main title character, only in 11 minutes of movie.

Jared Leto as Joker from Suicide Squad, love it or hate it, it had a major impression on everyone.

What about Mr. Glass in glass. He is the main protagonist but has comparatively low screen time

[christermyrberg]

Shark from Jaws & dinosaurs from Jurassic Park

Anne Hathaway and Anthony Hopkins Oscars are two of the most deserving awards ever given in cinematic history.

[chelseacanales]

I don’t know about you, but seeing Anthony Hopkins playing Hannibal still gives me goosebumps.

[TheMichaelCityMaker]

Thanks for crediting me and making my suggestion.

[autoOfficial]

Why do you keep putting the number 1 as the thumbnail??
Kinda ruins the fun of it.

[lionstigersbearsohmyanimal]

This is why Anthonys performance is arguably the greatest showcase of acting in any movie ever made. Anthony
Hopkins is the GOAT.

[Mark-qzfu]

The shark from Jaws and Sauron from the Lord of the Rings.

[AtomicPenguins]

How do you not put Kurtz from Apocalypse Now on this list? Played by Marlon Brando, talked about throughout the whole 3-hour movie, only to have maybe 15 minutes of screen time at the end of the film. What an embarrassing oversight.

[landonmiles]

Anthony Hopkins is a dang genius. When we mention some of the greatest actors of all time, he had to be in the conversation. Also, it kind of shook me when I found out that Buffalo Bill is the Captain from Monk.

[BazTheStoryteller]

Freddy Krueger in all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. He's only on screen for 10 minutes.

The same goes for Jason in all the Friday the 13th movies. Including Freddy Vs Jason.

[cheritripp]

Akira: Refer to and talked about throughout the movie but didn't make an actual appearance until near the end. (First as body parts then as a whole person to save the day)

[dafilmqueen]

No Mufasa in The Lion King?You're tearing me apart, Watchmojo!!

[James-cuul]

The background music is so chill, I love it
