I seen this topic posted on another messageboard I post on and thought what better a place to start up this conversation than here?
Here are mine and ironically they are both from the same movies:
Jerry Reed & "Little Enos" from the Smokey & The Bandit films.
So, let's have it Indy, who is your favorite movie sidekicks?
Nice thread. One that pops to mind for me is Kevin Pollack in "A Few Good Men." Don't know why, but I just love that guy, and no one seems to remember him in it (or much else that he does).
I'd have to say my recent favorite and first one that pops into my mind is Jay (Romany Malco from Weeds) in "The 40 Year Old Virgin." Every scene he was in, he stole the show from Steve Carell and had some of the funniest lines in the movie. In the unrated version he had even more stellar parts. "You're puttin' the pu55y on a pedestal"....Haha.
Paul's Uncle "The Dirty Old Man" in "A Hard Day's Night".
I'm going not with a specific role but a specific actress: Judy Greer.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339460/
She usually plays the best friend to the female protagonist in romantic comedies: "13 Going on 30," "27 Dresses," etc. She had the starring role in a TV series, "Miss Guided," that hasn't done so well.
She's such a unique, quirky presence and always puts a distinctive stamp on roles that were meant to be invisible.

Wow, I don't remember him in that movie lol, but I do like Kevin, wasn't he just in town doing stand up? Or going to be soon?
I def like Jay, would like to see him in more things, I heard on the commentary for "40 year Old Virgin" that he is a pretty good musician/rapper, though I can't remember the groups name.
I never knew Judy's name, and this was a good call Christopher.
Keep them coming people.
I like the idea of a specific actress. I posted on her earlier, but I really enjoy Zooey Deschanel. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0221046/ I thougth she was the funniest part of "Failure to Launch"
Wow, I don't remember him in that movie lol, but I do like Kevin, wasn't ...
It seems like no one remembers him. He was the one who had "no responsibilities here whatsoever." He was the one who hated his (and Tom Cruise's and Demi Moore's) clients and thought they were bullies.
Yeah, we had some discussion about his standup routine in another thread. Maybe that's why he came to mind for me. :)
Yeah I saw the thread about him doing stand up AFTER I posted here, oh well.
Marley, I thought she was adorable in "Elf", didn't I just hear she just put out a cd of music? Anyone verify this?
Yeah I saw the thread about him doing stand up AFTER I posted here, oh ...
I've heard the very same thing. And she is absolutely adorable.

Yeah, Zooey Deschanel put out a CD with M. Ward. The band name is She and Him and the CD name is Volume One. You can hear from it and about it a variety of places, including this piece from Fresh Air.
Thanks Middlewest, not my type of thing, but it would be nice to listen to on a Sunday morning when nursing a hangover.

I think it's really probably best for mixing-in type music. You know, add some twang to a mix. I can't really do a whole M. Ward CD either, but there are some fun little songs on the album. Plus, yeah, she is adorable.
She has a nice voice too I must add, Idk maybe i would listen to this more that I think.
Here's my earlier post about the She & Him CD: http://www.indy.com/posts/6666

Thanks, Marley, I didn't catch that the first time around.
Cal Naughton Jr. !!!!!!
I thought Bruno Kirby -- "you made her meow???" -- was a great second to Billy Crystal in "When Harry Met Sally ... " Kirby and Daniel Stern were pretty cool sidekicks to Crystal in "City Slickers," too, with Jack Palance (Curly) not far behind.
Nice whyaduck........yeah he was great r.i.p.
Another one that joe has mentioned before, but I just love the guy too much to not give him props:
Paul Rudd to Seth Rogen in "40 Year Old Virgin" David: You know how I know that you're gay? Cal: How? David: You have a rainbow bumpersticker on your car that says "I love it when ba*ls are in my face". Cal: That's gay?
Arsenio Hall in Coming to America! Hands down the best side kick ever!
Ahhh Rebelle...that's a dang good one there.
Chris Rock in Beverly Hills Ninja.
