Even the best actors have their melodramatic moments, but every once in awhile, a performance

goes from "a little over the top" to "insane."

Maybe these performances are so over the top they circle back around to brilliant, or maybe

Either way, these clips offer examples of overacting at its finest.

It features Sean Connery with a long braid and rocking the Borat swimsuit look for most

It's a bizarro, trippy movie about a godlike creature called Zardoz who talks through a

giant stone head, a group of immortals who don't believe in sex or sleep, and Connery

running around with his copious body hair on display.

But Connery doesn't earn the scene-chewing crown.

That honor goes to actor John Alderton, playing an immortal named "Friend" ...

If this scene seems confusing, don't worry.

It doesn't make any more sense in the context of the film either.

"I will, I will not go to second level with you!"

But you have applaud Alderton for making the most of his odd moment in this terribly strange

You can't talk about overacting without talking about Nicolas Cage, and Vampire's Kiss is

one of his early moments of over-the-top glory.

Long before his Wicker Man remake found him screaming about bees and punching a woman

while wearing a bear suit, he released what might actually be the craziest movie of his

1988's Vampire's Kiss stars Cage as an ad exec who gets bitten and thinks he's turning

into a vampire—and apparently vampires are 100 percent insane, because that's how Cage

Michael Sheen in Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

He's turned in brilliant performances on TV in Masters of Sex, and on the big screen in

Frost/Nixon, among many other notable roles.

But when it came to Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, he went a little crazy as the

In fact, in a series filled with unintentionally funny moments, Sheen's bizarre giggle might

Sheen actually offered an explanation of his big moment to MTV, saying that since his character

has been alive for centuries and centuries, he's probably incredibly bored and gets hysterical

when something actually unexpected happens.

It really does make perfect sense when you think about it—which means Sheen managed

to turn an over-the-top moment into a secretly brilliant acting choice.

Author Stephen King decided he wanted to give moviemaking a try, so he adapted his short

story "Trucks" into 1986's Maximum Overdrive.

The good things about the film: a full score by AC/DC.

A story about machines coming to life and trying to kill all humans manages to make

This was King's first time directing a film, and he later admitted that one major issue

with the movie was that his co-director was cocaine.

Despite all the problems, the film has one incredible highlight: the waitress.

Actress Ellen McElduff makes the most of her limited screen time …

If you're going to have a small part in a crappy film, at least make it memorable.

1980's space opera Flash Gordon sure had an interesting cast: Brian Blessed, an acclaimed

British Shakespearean actor with a big voice and personality, and Max von Sydow, a frequent

collaborator with Ingmar Bergman who's considered one of Sweden's greatest actors, played second

fiddle to Sam J. Jones, a former contestant on The Dating Game.

Watching Flash Gordon, you get the sense that Blessed knew he wasn't winning any Oscars

for the film, so he just had as much fun as humanly possible playing a winged man who

flies around in leather briefs and a breastplate while Queen plays on the soundtrack.

In yet another example of a Shakespearean actor trying to bring a bit of theatrical

flair to a role in a very silly blockbuster, Kenneth Branagh played the villainous Dr.
