I'm thinking either Christopher Walken in True Romance or Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs
|
|
I just watched constantine the other night and the guy that played Lou creeped me out bigtime...
|
|
Christian Bale - American Psycho......... dog killer Bale as I call him!
|
|
Gary Oldman in "Leon"
Christopher Walken in "Things to do in Denver when you're dead" |
|
Dennis Leary
Judgement Night...............One over the most underated Bad Guys. |
|
There's better, but all I can think of right now...
Robert Deniro -- Cape Fear GM |
|
Steve Buscemi and John Malcovich both do good jobs in Con Air.
|
|
Alan Rickman in Die Hard, Quigley Down Under, and Robin Hood. He and Gary Oldman make great villains. Drexl in True Romance was funny as hell.
|
|
Say goodbye to the bad guy. |
|
|
+1 I was thinking the same thing. |
|
|
Agreed! for Originality though I liked Travolta in Swordfish. |
|
|
... or in The Quick & the Dead - not nearly as good of a film, but a great, over-the-top villian turn for him. |

|
+1 The first one I thought of. Bang. Bang. Bang. Click. Click. [stops to reload] "What the fuck are you doing? He's dead!" "Yes, but he ruined my suit." |
|
|
Wasn't that movie "The Professional"? excellent choice by the way |
||
|
|
Thats a bullshit list. Neither Vega brother made the list. Come on. "Man" from Bambi was #20. |
|
|
LOL, yea I know. I posted it just as info on what others thought. My pick would be Ralph Fiennes character in Schindler's List. |
||
|
What the f'ing hell!? Travis Bickle (Robert DeNiro) was the villain in Taxi Driver?? I think not! |
|
|
Tim Roth .... Archibald Cunningham in Rob Roy....
The character was so despicable that I get pissed off when I see Tim Roth in any other movie. |
|
Henry Fonda: Once Upon a Time in the West
Otto Preminger: Stalag 17 Lee Van Cleef: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Peter Greene (Zed): Pulp Fiction (Eaney, meaney, miney, moe….) |
|
Now that's a good one. All of the others were more like the likable bad guys that you almost cheer for. This character was one of the ones where he's so vile you can't wait to see the good guy whip his ass. I pick best movie bad guys based on their ability to be so bad you can't wait to see them get theirs whether it be a wicked ass beating, killed, arrested, etc. If it's a bad guy I actually like and am rooting for like DeNiro in Heat I don't even consider him a bad guy. Here's my list. - The Warden Norton in Shawshank Redemption. - Grima Wormtongue in the LOTR: TTT (Brad Dourif doesn't get his proprs for always doing a pretty good bad guy) - John Doe from Se7en - Cameron Alexander from American History X - Roark Jr./Yellow Bastard and Kevin from Sin City - SSG Bob Barnes from Platoon - Commodus from Gladiator |

You are all wrong.
Al Pacino, Devils Advocate. Debate is now closed. Honorable mention is Agent Smith, Hugo somethingorother..... |
|
But does Steve Buscemi's character really count? Garland Greene might have been a Hannibal Lector type wackjob serial killer but wasn't really a "villian" in the movie. He didn't assist the bad guys in any way, didn't rat out Nick Cage's character for killing Billy Bedlam in the cargo hold...... |
|
|
A few to throw out there:
Mel Gibson in Payback (Get ready to root for the bad guy) Ben Affleck in Mallrats AND Dazed and Confused (plays a perfect asshole in both) Ed Harris in The Rock +1 for Jason Isaacs in The Patriot Almost any villain in any James Bond movie John Travolta in Broken Arrow Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator Andy Garcia in Ocean's Eleven |
|
Gene (Kiss) Simmons in Runaway
He who must not be named in Harry Potter and all those already mentioned |
|
Honorable mention for general creepiness... Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights and J.J. Leigh in Single White Female.
|

He also played quite the terrorist in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with Rutger Hauer. Trivia: He was slated to play the part of Satan in "The Stand" but chose the KISS reunion instead. |
|
|
True. But it is cool that the Terminator is on both lists. |
||
|
gimmicks don't compensate. |
|||
|
I believe that was David Prowse in the Darth Vader suit. My vote would be Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner. He stole the movie from Harrison Ford. He also did a very good "bad guy" job in The Hitcher and Nighthawks Other than Ladyhawke, has he ever played a good guy? |
|
|
IIRC he's played the good guy in some straight to cable/video stuff. Also "Wanted Dead Or Alive" & "Blind Fury". |

|
How about Harvey Keitel as the cleaner in Point of No Return?
I hear he was a real bastage in Bad Lieutenant... I still need to see that one. Great comedic bad guy: Dennis Farina .... Ray 'Bones' Barboni from Get Shorty. Likeably evil bag guy: Christopher Walken .... Vincenzo Coccotti from True Romance James Gandolfini does a pretty good bad guy. True Romance, 8mm, Sopranos. |

Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs
