The Deerhunter.
At Close Range.
Pulp Fiction.
The Comfort of Strangers.
In all four films, he created unforgettable characters.
Major characters... almost archetypal. And, unlike many great actors, you don't see Walken so much as the character himself: they are distinct individuals.
I can't think of any actor that has four better films on his résumé, either.
