Malkovich or Walken?

Your criteria could be anything. Who would win in a game of Battleship, who is the better crazy person, or which actor is funnier?

You pick, you decide.

He's finishing his senior thesis. Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV.

Question is this - what is the "A Bridge to Far" for the Malkovich-Walkens Theory?

(Pigman: "A Bridge Too Far." Caine and Hackman in the same movie. This is my thesis man! This is my closing argument! I CAN STOP WATCHING TV! )

I like and respect both actors for what they do, but Walken is more layered, has more skills.

I bought a dirt cheap DVD of "A Business Affair." I was anxious that he'd turn out to be a psychopath in the movie and kill someone because he does that so well, but no. Not a good movie but I liked it. He has said it was the movie character he felt was most like him.
