It's not really a movie, but I think a good (if you'll pardon the pun) depiction of Satan was in an 80s claymation cartoon, "The Adventures of Mark Twain". There's a part where the kids on the airship spaceship thingy go into this dimension and there's this guy there...kind of hard to explain, but it was clever both for its originality and for the fact that they didn't make the Devil seem human at all in any way. He was completely alien and the fact that he actually described himself as an angel when he first met Tom and Huck was very clever dialogue writing because Satan being an angel, called an angel, or describing himself as an angel isn't what you'd expect even though it's what the Bible says.
That hooded asexual phantom being in "the passion of the Christ" that only Jesus saw was, imo, the best portrayal of the Devil in a movie, hands down.
His or her mannerisms were just purely erie and almost snake-like as if moving carefully slow yet ready to strike all of a sudden and with all it's evil might. It's taunts we just poetically hellish.
One profound part was when it softly yet evilly whispered this to a floored and crying jesus, in Arameic..(and i'm paraphrasing)
"free yourself..let go..for no man can withstand such a burden like that..no one...no man....nobody....... not ever..."
DAVE GROHL WAS A COOL SATAN AS WELL....
