Les Grossman - Tropic Thunder

Crap movie but great character, especially given the actor playing him.

"First, take a big step back... and literally, F*** YOUR OWN FACE! I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bull**** power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down in a Godly f*****g firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the f*****g United Nations and get a f*****g binding resolution to keep me from f*****g destroying you. I'm talking about a scorched earth, motherf*****! I will massacre you! I WILL F*** YOU UP!"

Also Malcom Tucker from The thick of it / In the loop.

I also like Larry David in Curb, but thats not a film either.

Katie Jarvis in Fish Tank. It's not a very famous film, but she was great in it.
