I love to see John Malkovich play these urbane evil manipulator characters, reminds me at times of Hannibal Lechter.

Portrait of a Lady
Dangerous Liaisons
The Object of Beauty
The Convent
Ripley's Game
Burn After Reading

Anyone seen these, any other recommendations?

Rented Color Me Kubrick - definitely a change of pace - still a fascinating, riveting performance.

I thought Malkovich was too cool in Rounders.  Great character in his hands.  In Jennifer Eight, a glum little thriller with Andy Garcia, he positively chews the scenes up.  I wonder if his character's cold was his idea.
