De naam Harry Dean Stanton zal je waarschijnlijk weinig zeggen, maar als je zijn gezicht ziet weet je precies wie hij is. Deze man heeft in een shitload aan legendarische films gespeelt, en voor al in nerd, sci-fi, horror en cult films heeft deze inmiddels 84 jarige acteur zijn stempel gezet. Opvallend is dat Gremlins niet op de lijst staat, daarom is onze favoriet Repo Man uit 1984. Mocht je deze nog niet gezien hebben, doe dit dan ASAP want hij is weird en vet tegelijk.

1) Bud in Repo Bud

Along with Suburbia and Class of 1984, Alex Cox's Repo Man is one of the great punk movies to come out of the early '80s and a classic L.A. movie period. After punk Otto (Emilio Estevez) is betrayed by his whoring girlfriend and his hippie parents, he comes across Bud, a small-auto repo man who tricks Otto into participating in a job. Otto's apprehensive at first, but the life of danger, coke, and money seduces him. Bud takes him under his wing and teaches him everything there is to know about the guile and guts it takes to repo, but for all his experience Bud isn't prepared for a 1964 Chevy Malibu with two dead aliens in the trunk. Yeah, this movie rules. It's hard not to say "in this film, Stanton is in top form," because he never isn't. But Bud is definitely the standout role in a legendary filmography (and let's just pretend Repo Chick is a bad dream).
