Peter Lorre as Ugarte in Casablanca
"You despise me, don't you?"
"Well, if I gave you any thought I probably would."
One of my favourite dialogue exchanges of the movies. Those Epstein brothers!
Ugarte, what a ruthless, sleazy little man but not without a certain oily charm, as played by Peter Lorre.
Casablanca, one of my top ten movies, but my one grievance with the film has always been that they knock off Lorre far too soon.
"Rick, help me! Rick, hide me! Do something, you must help! Rick!!!!"
I almost wish that Rick could.
Lots of small memorable people in this— love Cuddles Sakall as well!

George Tobias as the 'Russian Visa Official' in Ninotchka (1939). Tobias is only in the film for one very short scene but it is one of the funniest in the entire film.
And then George Tobias again in SILK STOCKINGS

Preston Sturges films also offer a large variety of these. Christmas is on my mind still so I’ll mention REMEMBER THE NIGHT — tons of hilarious side characters like Sterling Holloway as the dumb farmhand Willy, the hick that arrests them for trespassing, the judge at the rummage sale looking for his hat, and Fat Mike the bondsman. My favorite is Barbara Stanwyck’s lawyer at the beginning, referred to as “that windbag!”

This is one of my favorite things in a movie — memorable side characters. They add so much texture to the film! I agree with SHOP AROUND THE CORNER 100% and have always loved the snarky delivery boy— such a memorable performance.
I’ve already mentioned in another thread that MIRACLE ON 34th STREET is loaded with these. They show up once or twice or not til the end but you remember them — Thelma Ritter saying “Macy’s Ain’t Got Any”, Jack Albertson in the mail room, the drunk Mrs Shelhammer, the drunk Santa in the parade, etc. But at the end the whole movie is stolen by Gene Lockhart. What a hilarious judge he makes, always looking to campaign manager William Frawley, adding so much subtext to every line and moment.

Pretty much every movie with a space launch has a countdown including APOLLO 13 and THE RIGHT STUFF
Some Christmas movies have a “days til Christmas” countdown but the only one I can think of is NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Here are a few movies with a time limit/deadline/doomsday sort of countdown —
