James Marsters

James Marsters is perhaps best known to audiences as the blonde-haired Sid Vicious-alike Spike on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The vampire who earned his nickname by impaling his victims on railway spikes, he went from Big Bad to Buffy's boyfriend when a shadowy government cell called The Initiative fitted a chip in his brain that prevented him from doing harm.

He stars this week in Dragonball: Evolution, based on the Japanese Manga comic, as Lord Piccolo, the megalomaniacal villain out to destroy the world by uniting the seven Dragonballs.

Continue on as he shares his five favourite films with RT.

Great list!

Ratatouille, I think, is one of the best animations ever made by a great director. As a food lover, I loved this treat.

Never watched Buffy or anything Dragon Ball Z, but I might see this movie and every movie this guy makes in the future.

I liked his explanations for the most part. I do believe Ratatouille is a great movie, moreso than WallE for me because it was less preachy and less filled with hackneyed and cliched social critique, so that's not a bad choice.

I like that it wasn't a totally standard list. Evidently he's a Ridley Scott fan!

What's wrong with Ratatouille, you got something against animation or good movies?

James obviously took a course on filming and had to study the first four films except Ratatouille, James is obviously a passionate movie buff.

The Milagro pic is from An Unfinished Life.


Great films, every one of them.

Spike loves Ratatouille ? Strange. (Sorry, I'm a huge Buffy fan :P)

Good list. Alien is one of my favorites, and Apocalypse Now and Brave Runner are both great.

How can he have such a good taste in movies but think he's got gold with Dragonball?

Spike loves Ratatouille. This gets approval.

Too bad this is going to be the worst piece of crap since crap was first crapped.

Umm, i am pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about since the movie is BLADE RUNNER not "Brave" Runner. But what can we expect from a Buffy fan.
