Another favorite scene stealer is Paul Giamatti. He's great in Private Parts, Duets, Sideways, American Splendor and was one of the two best things about Cinderella Man, Craig Bierko being the other.
As great as Johnny Depp is in The Pirates of the Carribean, he's even better in Once Upon A Time in Mexico, in which he played arguably the funniest, sexiest corrupt-FBI-agent-turned-blind-assassin of all time.

This thread is all about Bill Nighy in Love Actually. "Kids, don't buy drugs. Just become a pop star and they give you them for free!"

My personal favorite Bill Nighy scene is the one that ends with him saying "Come on, let's get pissed and watch porn!"

While many people saw Runaway Bride for Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, for me, the real star was Christopher Meloni, who played Coach Bob. He was fabulous, especially when he punched RG's character, which was the best scene in it, IMO. I loved all the characters in that town. I loved when Bob was saying, "focus on Maaaagie." And the waitress says, "I'll...just....go focus on your eggs, Bob." OT: did anyone else notice that the name of the hair/nail salon was called Curl Up and Dye? just like Carrie Fisher's character in the Blues Bros?

Some good scene stealers are in Titanic:
Frances Fisher as Rose's mom--so wonderfullly snooty/bitchy
Jonathan Phillips as Lightoller-- had some great lines and facial expressions.
Irish mommy with the 2 little kids--the scene where the gate is locked and after telling the kids what's happening, the knowing, angry look she gives to the Titanic crewman afterwards
of course Victor Garber as Mr. Andrews--loved his "pained" expressions
in fact IMO much of the supporting cast is what made this movie good. Leonardo DiWho? (Although I do love Kate Winslet)

As far as I'm concerned, Adrien Brody in Summer of Sam not only stole every scene he was in, he was the best thing about it.

Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate; completely steals the film from everyone else, and things only gets really interesting when she's on screen.
This has probably been previously mentioned but Fairuza Balk's performance in The Craft is the most blatant piece of camera hogging I've ever seen. She pulls it off, though.
All About Eve only really clicks when Bette Davis is on screen; Anne Baxter is very bla as Eve but Davis owns every single scene she's in and effortlessly so. "Fire and music!".
Chiaki Kuryiama in Kill Bill. I wanted more GoGo! Her eyes were made for cinema and the cinema was made for her eyes.

I just saw Click today and I thought Henry Winkler was surprisingly touching. His scenes were my favorites and I thought he stole every scene he was in. Not for being hammy or over the top, but for being loving and believable.
