Best Movie Villian?

Standard Toaster

Who would you rate as the best movie villian of all time?

Basq

The best movie villain?!...... That's a toughie!

I know when i think of a great movie villain, Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman always come to mind.

Standard Toaster

Nurse Ratchet from "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest" was a right evil b*tch.

The Brigadier

Darth Vader?

Retr0gamer

The double headed dildo from requiem for a dream.

Seriously it would have to be the alien from The Thing.

LMAO

I wouldn't call Darth Vader the best movie villian though.

Jaws was a pretty mean mofo.

Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs is another that comes to mind.

Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange is another and was an amazingly likable villain!

Lainey

Kathy Bates in Misery..

Standard Toaster

Jesus yeah.

Remember the ankle-breaking scene?:o

Yeah or the Cat in the Hat.

ObeyGiant

Norman Stansfield from Leon or General Zod from Superman II.

yossarin

Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) in goodfellas as a baddie you liked.

SheroN

Alan rickman in Diehard.

bandit

Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet especially considering the fact that Dennis Hopper went out of his way to get the role telling David Lynch that he was Frank....

William Dafoe in Wild at Heart was pretty disturbing too (As you can guess I'm a Lynch fan)

The t-rex and raptors in Jurassic were pretty evil too !!!

Paladin

Alan Rickman in Die Hard

timeout

John Travolta in Swordfish or was he a good guy?

Buck Owens

Biff from Back to the Future

Nazgul and Shelob from LOTR,

John Doe in Se7en

Leatherface in texas chainsaw

Boberto

Anthony Hopkins as the cute and loveable Hannibal Lector

ixoy

I'm seconding Dennis Hopper in "Blue Velvet". It'd put you off oxygen masks for life! scary :dunno:

I also enjoyed Top Dollar in "The Crow". I think it was the way he felt honored to be fighting Eric Draven by the end, and had a sort of respect for him.

Tusky

The alien in the thing is EVEL !

Standard Toaster

The Terminator in T1 or the T1000 in T2....just kept comming back!!!

Could you count The Devil in "The Exorcist" as a villian?

Evil_Bilbo

I know when i think of a great movie villain, Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman always come to mind.

I thought he was a disappointment - shouldve just been called "The Joke". That face prosthetic was a bit foolish.

I'd have to third the motion of saying Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet. Originally the "oxygen" or "nitrous" or whatever he inhales was supposed to be just helium. The thought of him doing the "Baby wants to f*ck" scenes in a squeaky high voice is just pure sick. Dont think I could've watched that.

BOB/Leland from twin peaks is a pretty mad evil baddy aswell.

Others that come to mind are Sauron, the predator, agent smith, jack nicholson in the shining, and sadam hussien in southpark. Amazing!

Marq

Mr Big in Moonwalker

Karl Hungus

Some great ones mentioned so far, but what about Freddie Jones in The Elephant Man? Possibly the most thoroughly despicable bastard ever!

Capt'n Midnight

RE: Alan Rickman - Wasn't he in Robin Hood (Kev. cost. left most of the sherif's best bits on the cutting room floor)

yer man in True Lies

Gert Froobe = Goldfinger - "No Mr Bond I expect you to die."

darraghmac

this post was probably over as a contest at post#2- joker jack

notwithstanding that,

for the sheer gusto and pantomime villain factor of the performance:

rickman in die hard
patrick mcgoohan as the dastardly king in braveheart
john travolta in face/off (has an actor ever enjoyed himself so much?)

for the character itself:

keyser soze in the usual suspects (if he exists??)
john doe in 7even
everyone in memento
bill (he who was to be killed) is pretty rock too, even if the final battle was too easy.

for oh sh*t scaryness:

reagan in the exorcist.

and finally, for pure campness:

mugatu in zoolander

AngelofFire

Darth Vader was a classic.

rabbitinlights

William Cutting in Gangs of New York


Daniel day Lewis.


Amazing.

Frank Grimes

Leatherface in the (original) Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

henbane

Robert Mitchum in The Night of The Hunter. Did a good job in Cape Fear too.
Rickman in Die Hard & Robin Hood
Pacino in Scarface
Sydney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon

vinnie vegas

Queen bavmorda from willow

Creature

Argh I can't name just one!

Joe Pesci as Tommy DeVito from Goodfellas. He's without a doubt the most convincing psychopath in any film, ever.

And of course the alien from The Thing

Mailman

Ricardo Montablan as Kahn in Star Trek, Wrath of Kahn

Karl Hungus

Big Ears

oh and 'The Claw' in lier lier

martarg

Kathy Bates in Misery, Alan Rickman in Die Hard, and Christopher Walken in any villain he plays....

byte

Does Francis Begbie from Trainspotting count as a villain? He was a psycho!

Quatre Mains

Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers List

steveland?

Alan Rickman in die hard and jeremy irons to a lesser extent in die hard with a vengance.

Will ferrell and milla jovovich in zoolander

John travolta and samuel l jackson in pulp fiction

bill

ted raimi as hennrietta's feet in evil dead 2

Trip Hazard

Alot of you are saying alan rickman in die hard, what about Jeromy Irons as Hans' brother, Simon Gruber in Die Hard with a vangence.

Sauron in the Prologue of the fellowship of the Ring was pretty kick ass, dont ya think. oh if only he had of regained his physical form at the end of return of the King.

The Red Dragon in, yes you've guessed it Red Dragon.

Bill of coarse is a legendary villian, but Oren Ishii in Vol. 1 was great too.

another classic villian was the scary alian in ET called ET.
(that last one was a joke by the way:p :dunno: )

weemcd

id say hanibal, the joker , agent smith, saddam hussain in south park

Simon Gruber was way too campy to be a decent villain.

Ph3n0m

I would have to go with several picks

Robert Mitchum - Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear
Alan Rickman - Diehard
Michael Wincott - The Crow (classic line "aw for f**ks sake, die will ya")
Tim Curry - It
Gabriel Byrne - End of Days
Kevin Spacey - Usual Suspects/Se7en
Maleficent - Sleeping Beauty - no cartoon villaness should be that EVEL

Standard Toaster

Yeah, Tim Curry in IT came to mind too.

Sarky

Betty from Kung Pow- Enter The Fist.

Truly evil. Look at the tache, people!

Buck Owens

thought of more:

Al Pacino in the devil's advocate (the best satan ever in a movie followed closly by the bald girl in the passion of the christ)

The childcatcher in chitty chitty bang bang

the Nilihists in the big lebowski

Wacker

You guys have all left out the greatest villain ever: Bennet from Commando!

Think about it: if it were any other actor, it would have been a crap movie. Instead, this fat Freddie Mercury villain turns it into the ultimate 'so bad its good' extravaganza.

Just remember the whole "I can kill you with a knife!" sequence, and the line "I'm not going to shoot you between the eyes John, I'm going to shoot you between the balls!"

_Kaiser_

Alan Rickman in Die Hard - no way that Jeremy Irons was as good in the 3rd one.

Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate

Joe Pesci in Goodfellas (and Casino to a lesser extent even tho it was basically the same character)

Gordon Gecko in Wall Street - "Greed...is good!"

Hugo Weaving - Agent Smith in The Matrix films

Naos

William Cutting(Daniel Day Lewis) - Gangs of New York - Brilliant

Lil Joe pesci ;p "Am I here to amuse you?"

DeNiro - Heat ..
