I figured since we have a “Best Satan” thread, why not a “Best Angel” thread.
My vote goes to John Travolta as Michael in Michael.
*edited because my brain insists that E goes before A, except after C. 
David Boreanaz ? 
Brian
Well, Castiel. Duh.
Thread finished.
Tilda Swinton as Gabriel in Constantine.
Alan Rickman in Dogma?
Bruno Ganz’s Damiel in Wim Wenders’ Wings Of Desire is my favorite angel, followed closely by Peter Falk in that same movie.
Seconded.
Cheryl Ladd!
Head Six from Battlestar Galactica
Exactly what I came here to say. Any angel that is into kinky sex is my kinda angel!
Best angel?
The weeping ones.
Seconded.
No, worst! Bad angels, BAD!!!
Another vote for Castiel. That’s an angel I wanna be touched by.
I see nobody has mentioned Nick Cage. snerk
I don’t have a firm opinion on this one, but I would like to submit Christopher Walken as Gabriel for consideration–if only for the scene of Gabriel playing a trumpet as he drives through the desert in a convertible.
Emmanuelle Béart - Date With an Angel
The very best Angel has got to be ‘Smile Time.’ No other episode of the series comes close…
… what?
I was going to suggest Walken. Creepiest angel, at least.
Sweet jesus was she gorgeous in that stupid movie. I think I was literally stunned by her beauty when I watched that piece of crap on HBO back in the day.
I’m going to nominate Michael Landon in Highway to Heaven: He’s not swooping in with a flaming sword and making everything right, we humans still have to do our part, he’s just making it a little easier for us to do so.
Have there been any depictions of angels on the screen that look like the Lovecraftian things the Bible actually describes?
Spike: “YOUR A BLOODY PUPPET!”
LOL one of the best lines in the whole series!
hmm has for the threads question maybe michael landon’s character from “highway to heaven”?
though im not sure if he was an actual full on angel in that. wasnt he working for his wings or sumthin?
though i just started season 5 of “supernatural” which ive heard great things about. so maybe soon ill change my mind to Castiel.
