    Mr. Potter (It's A Wonderful Life) Vs Esther (Orphan) - Have to abstain, haven't seen either.

    The Fisherman (I Know What You Did Last Summer) Vs HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) - A great concept.

    Mrs. Danvers (Rebecca) Vs Predator (Predator franchise) - Legit terrifying as a kid.

    Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (Con Air) Vs Cameron Alexander (American History X) - A great performance from Malkovich. Con Air could feasibly have multiple entries here.

    Mr Potter, absolute bastard, shame on those that have never seen IAWL!!!!

    Hal 9000

    Predator

    Cameron Alexander, Cyrus is just too damn cartoony and is a bit of a caricature, Cam though, a wholly believable scumbag preying on the weak.

    Esther (Orphan) -scary little brat
    HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) -great call nominator.
    Predator (Predator franchise) - toughie that, Mrs D was a horrible vindictive bitch but she didn't collect human skulls as far as I know.

    Actually I know predator but I don't like those movies so won't vote for it.

    And I know American history X, brilliant movie but I don't remember the villian guy. Can't watch the movie again either because of the scene with the face on the curbe.
    Brilliant movie just can't handle that part

    Maj Heinrich Strasser (Casablanca) Vs Shooter McGavin (Happy Gilmore) What a slimeball! Those finger guns!

    Tuco (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) Vs Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) Absolute freak.

    Captain Bligh (Mutiny on the Bounty) Vs Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest) Cold b*tch.

    Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) Vs Bob (Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me) A handsome bastard but a bastard nonetheless.

    Glaston the little ride. I like my men a bit on the dumb side. Makes me look like the smart cookie :cool:

    Shooter McGavin (Happy Gilmore)

    Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)

    Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest)

    Bob (Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me) ; this was a tough one to decide, both great in their own ways, will be happy to see either go through

    Maj Heinrich Strasser (Casablanca)
    Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) - one of his best roles
    Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest) - what a megabitch, great to see the ladies being well represented here too
    Bob (Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me) - Scary fecker. Gaston was a big-headed twerp but to the extent that he was a legend too :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Also Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast movie (not the animated one)is my favourite character in the movie. The Beast does nothing for me at all.

    Luke Evans is a little beaut in the movie. Although he bats for the other team irl, I'd still put him in the **** bank :p

    What I am learning from this thread is I need to watch more movies so I have an informed opinion on both side to vote :D

    Tuco (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) and a another load of abstentions :)
