He acted like such a king! the rest of the cast was amazing, ofcourse(legends), but he was so beep smooth. Makes me want to have seen how he'd have done in PUlp Fiction perhaps?
anyway, who was yours? i think they all played in almost equally important roles, so you have some nice options..
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0 -

Piven!! "I'm not cracking up!" heh - well, you said it, I think they all played to perfection, but Christian Slater and Jeremy Piven stole the show for me. But I don't want to pick one when even the scene at the gas station, with the extras really making it work, again to perfection, also because of the editing, slow motion, it's all masterfully done This is one of my favourite movies ever, I had enormous laughing fits when I first saw it, and this type of exaggerated and accellerated sequence of events spinning out of control, is quite rarely filmed like this, and to Very Bad Things I was - still am - extremely sensitive, it tickles me.
The sound mixing and cinematography are out of the ball park as well, 10/10. -

Everyone did a superb job, including Cameron Diaz. But if the Academy could ever truly recognize movies like this, Slater should've gotten an oscar nod. I can't watch him in any other movie without seeing him as Boyd. He's probably a truly nice guy, but he's so damn convincing as Boyd. The character's written really well but it still takes the right guy to play him, and I'm not sure it could've gotten better than Slater.
