Best (or worst) movie villain

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Best (or worst) movie villain

Ya know, I almost left out The Terminator? What was I thinking? Sorry, Cruella!

Notice I left off non-speaking slasher movie type characters. I dunno, Jason/Michael Myers aren't so much villains as monsters, and that would be a different poll.

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. The Tall Man

from Phantasm, played by Edgar Scrimm, one of the creepiest portrayals of absolute evil ever.

[NuckinFutz]

10. Boooyyy!!!!

Actually, it's Angus Scrimm. What a moniker!

[BigMcLargehuge]

13. DOH!!!! Freudian typing slip!!!!!

thinking about Edgar from MIB... Silly me.

[7th_Sephiroth]

48. hannibal

nowhere else have i seen a more well acted villan

[tom_paine]

2. You don't have THE KURGAN (Highlander) listed?!?

From "Highlander? Bad move.

The Kugan should NOT have to be written in.

However, let me begin this fine write-in campaign.

VOTE KURGAN "HIGHLANDER"!!!

[BigMcLargehuge]

5. I'd also like to vote for Clancey Brown as Lex Luthor

in the WB DC-based superhero shows. He's AWESOME as the Man of Steel's arch nemesis.

[theivoryqueen]

3. Had to vote for the cockroach

I hate those bugs. Especially the big ones.

[grannylib]

4. Mrs. Danvers from Hitchcock's "Rebecca"

The original Evil Woman!!

[manderley]

9. OMG!!

I love that novel and the movie is wonderful. I agree, Mrs. Danvers
can send chills down my spine
Hence my user ID manderley- the mansion :)

[grannylib]

11. Way cool!

Have you noticed that on Office 2000 there is a font called "Rebecca" and it's dead on!

[manderley]

14. Yeah, its weird

Glad to know someone appreciates it as much as I do!

[markbark]

6. David Warner in "Time Bandits"

You could tell he was having a ball!

He wasn't too bad as Jack the Ripper battling Malcom McDowell's HG Wells in "Time After Time"


--MAB

[number six]

7. Aaah...David Warner

The nearly man of British cinema. What about the priest from Poltergeist II? Terrifying, man!

[Bossy Monkey]

20. THE David Warner?

http://crow-t-robot.home.mindspring.com/reviews_s09_ep913.html
Cool!

[number six]

23. I guess so.

He's THE David Warner to me, at least. English guy, in lots of 70's movies, esp. Hammer Horror / Amicus cheesefests.

[edzontar]

8. Dracula--as essayed by Lugosi or Lee

Or else the Wicked Witch of the West/

(Its the classics for me)

[Loonman]

12. Toecutter/Lord Humungous

From Mad Max/Road Warrior

[tom_paine]

37. Whoa, dude! Good one!

"Remember the Night Rider! When you look...at the night sky!"

[charlie]

15. Bill the Butcher

From Gangs of New York.

[NuckinFutz]

16. Let's not forget...

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates

Olivia DeHaviland in Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte

Bette Davis in The Little Foxes, among others

Jonathan Pryce in Something Wicked This Way Comes

Cancer Man from the Xfiles

[stanwyck]

17. Believe it or not Henry Fonda

from "Once Upon a Time in the West". After killing a farmer, he kills the man's young son. "What about the kid, Frank?" Fonda's reply: "Well, now that you've said my name."

[NuckinFutz]

19. OMG!

I'd forgotten all about that one. What an evil SOB!

[Lady Freedom]

18. Scar!

Come on people! I know it's a cartoon, but, gez! The guy kills his own brother for power!

[Swede]

21. John Doe in Seven or Mr. Frost in Mr. Frost

[LuLu550]

22. Mr. Freeze

AHHH-Nold in one of the Batman movies. He sucked!

[GOPisEvil]

24. Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Iselin (The Manchurian Candidate, 1964)

:scared:

[qwertyMike]

25. George C Scott

In "The Hustler"

or Lee J Cobb - "On the Waterfront"

[Zenaholic]

26. T1

[Bossy Monkey]

32. Then VOTE for him, you silly person :)

Just kidding about the silly person part!

[Kamika]

27. Darth Vader hands down

I remember how scared i was when i was a kid

[wyldwolf]

28. Lex Luthor... the greatest criminal mind of our time...

[Paragon]

33. "Me? Lex Luthor?!?"

;-)

[Guaranteed]

49. Or how bout Jack as the Joker?

They were both absolutely great.

[Bossy Monkey]

29. I wish I'd put on Rhoda (Patty McCormack) from "The Bad Seed"

Darth Vader, Hannibal Lecter and the Wicked Witch of the West cower in terror.

[nuxvomica]

51. "The Bad Seed" is an excellent choice

She's one of the scariest characters on film history.

[Speck Tater]

30. Other: Nurse Ratchet

from cuckoo's nest

[Guaranteed]

50. Yep....

worst thing was her character didn't even know it. She thought she was doing the right thing.


......;)

[mitchum]

31. Reverend Harry Powell in "Night of the Hunter"

followed by Max Cady in "Cape Fear". Robert Mitchum in both roles. In the first one the Mighty Mitchum plays a psychopath with plans to murder two small children. In the second, his plans include the rape of a teenager. No one could do villainy like Big Bob (and still remain a leading man)

[CBHagman]

38. Oh, "Night of the Hunter" is mind-bogglingly creepy

As with the Edward G. Robinson character in "Key Largo," I was just DYING for the Robert Mitchum character to get his ass kicked.

[geniph]

34. Tim Roth's character in Rob Roy

Now, THAT is a horrible scary SOB!

[arwalden]

35. Goldfinger... Scaramanger... Dr. No,

To name a few.

[Nailzberg]

36. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!!!!

Okay, so he did turn out to be a pretty big wuss, but that is the coolest evil villain line ever spoken on screen.

[rbnyc]

39. Darryl Revok!

We're gonna do this the Scanner way. I'm gonna suck your brain dry!

:loveya:

EDIT: oops, used <> for html. duh!

[Davo Dinkum]

40. Bateman but what category?

I would pick Patrick Bateman, the killer out of American Psycho. The book was better but Christian Bale played him perfectly.

[kodi]

41. al pacino, scarface

THE WORLD IS YOURS!

[supernova]

42. 101 Dalmations

Cruella rules! Also the Queen from Snow White. Disney has great villians.

[ohiosmith]

43. It's a tie,

Alan Rickman in Die Hard, Alan Rickman in Quigley Down Under.

[LTR]

44. George W. Bush

Was he ever in a movie?

Anyhoo, I voted for Agent Smith. The other guys are so worn out, and Hugo Weaving is just too damn good in the role. Delightfuly nasty guy!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

45. Jim Carrey as the Cable Guy

now that was creepy.

[JNelson6563]

46. Tim Roth as Archibald Cunningham

In Rob Roy. Stupendous performance in a very, very good movie.

Julie

[laylah]

47. I had to

go with "other".......Robert Mitchum's character in the original "Cape Fear" and a very close second would be his roaming preacher character in ????? (can't remember the name of the movie! Also starred Shelly Winters) :scared:

Jenn

[BigMcLargehuge]

53. Night of the Hunter

directed by Charles Laughton

[scarlet_owl]

52. Professor Fate from The Great Race.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Push the button, Max!

[BigMcLargehuge]

54. Max Cady from the original Cape Fear?

[Zorro]

55. Alex, lead droog

and a very bad, bad boy...

He's what makes A Clockwork Orange such a remarkable film.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

56. Dude! What about the evil Bill and Ted robots?

...since no one has mentioned them yet... ;-)
