#235. Sling Blade

Dir: Billy Bob Thornton
Genre: Drama
Year: 1996

Billy Bob Thornton basically did everything on this movie and then was set for life. And you can't really hate him for it. He gives us one of the most iconic performances of the decade--maybe even beyond that--as a character that I still can't believe is him. I mean, look at this:

It blows my mind that this was the same dude:

The story is fairly cliched (up until the bloody climax, at least), but that doesn't matter. It's a perfectly executed boy-befriends-monster-who-really-isn't-one tale that is wholly satisfying to watch. Also it's probably my favorite movie to quote IRL in The Voice.
