Fave movie badguys?

[Baclava]

Didn't wanna kill him but Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue velvet is my favorite "Villian"

Blue Velvet is creepy as shit....The character of Frank was to breathe helium at various intervals in Lynch's original script, but Dennis Hopper suggested this be changed to Amyl Nitrate which he knew was used to enhance sexual experiences.

Dorothy: What do you want to do?
Jeffrey: I'll do anything.
Dorothy: Are you a bad boy?
Jeffrey: What do you mean?
Dorothy (dreamily): Do you want to do bad things? Anything? Anything?
Jeffrey (whispering): What do you want?
Dorothy (begging): I want you to hurt me.
Jeffrey: No, I don't want to hurt you. I told you I want to help you. Dorothy, I know some of what's happening. Frank has your husband and son doesn't he? You've got to do something. Go to the police.
Dorothy: (Startled, she sits up and pushes herself away.) No police!! No police!! (The visual motif of the flame appears, as she cowers before him.) Go on, hit me. Hit me!

A candy colored clown they call the Sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep everything is all right.
I close my eyes. Then I drift away.
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayer. Like dreams do.
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you.
In dreams, I walk with you.
In dreams, I talk to you.
In dreams, you're mine, all the time.
We're together...

In dreams, I'd walk with you.
In dreams, I'd talk to you.
In dreams, you're mine. All...forever in dreams.

[MrScorpio]

1. Gary Oldman

Pick any movie

[CanuckAmok]

11. "Lost in Space"

You did say "pick any movie"

[MrScorpio]

13. He was a punk in that movie

Pick another

[CanuckAmok]

22. Sid and Nancy

No, wait... he was a punk in that movie, too.

[Nevernose]

19. Does "Sid and Nancy" count?

He's more of an anti-hero than a villain in that movie than a villain, but still.

Oh, and "Bram Stoker's Dracula" sucked. Oldman was the only thing passable, and the only thing that Stoker lent was his name.

[Baclava]

23. "Leon"?

[Glorfindel]

45. The Fifth Element

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Good call on Frank

I love Kevin Spacey in Seven too.

[Baclava]

4. The Professional...would be my 2nd choice..

Classic...

Stansfield:
Ahh. Food. Let me guess... Is it Chineese? Tai, maybe? Ahh, I've got it. Italian food

Stansfield: Now, I want you to tell me everything you know about Italian food, including the name of the chef who prepared it.
Mathilda: Nobody sent me. I work for myself.
Stansfield: Ahh... so this is... personal?... What filthy peice of... shit... did I do now?
Mathilda: You killed my brother.
Stansfield: I'm sorry. And you want to join him?
Mathilda: No.
Stansfield: It's always the same thing. It's when you start to become really afraid of death that you learn to appreciate life. Do you like life, sweetheart?
Mathilda: Yes.
Stansfield: That's good, because I take no pleasure in taking life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it.

[kevsand]

46. Or Kevin Spacey in "Swimming with Sharks"

Or Kevin Spacey in "The Usual Suspects"
Or Kevin Spacey in just about anything...

[Ready4Change]

3. Baron von Bombburst

From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[enigmatic]

5. Frank Booth

"drink to my fuck!"

[Baclava]

6. ha

haha. hahahaha.....hahahahahha.....hahaha..ha.hahaha.... .ha
haaahahahahahahah....hahahahahahahaha.....ha...... ...hahahahahaha
heeheeheeheehee.........heehee...hahahahahahaha... ....heeheeheeeee
bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....hahahahahaaa aaa!
HO HO HO HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HEE HEE HO HA HA!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
HAR HARDEE HAR HAR BWA-HAHAHAHA

[Baclava]

16. Amen..brutha

Amen

(Yes - I'm a witch - but who cares....eh?)

[youthere]

7. Dennis Hopper....hands down. n/t

[CanuckAmok]

8. "DADDY WANTS TO FUCK!!"

[jobycom]

9. Movies- Antonio Salieri. TV bad guys-- Motor Ed!

Seriously.

[LeftyMom]

10. Christoper Lee in The Wicker Man

An attractive, likeable villain with a clear motivation, which is of course a refreshing change from the usual 2D bad guy. That he was sexy was a nice bonus. :)

Even at the movie's horrifying ending (if you haven't seen it I won't give it away) he's still in many ways a more likable charachter than Officer Howie, the movie's protagonist.

[Lautremont]

12. In every way more likable!

Howie was a prude and a prig. Though he got a bit better by the end.

(Almost gave it away there, but deleted in time.)

[LeftyMom]

14. Yeah, he warms up a bit. nt

[DerekG]

29. I actually sympathized with Howie

I saw Summerisle as something of a charlatan (as suggested in the first conversation he had with Howie regarding the former's lineage); Howie, for all his austerity, was genuinely concerned for the missing girl.

How wonderful it would be if the harvest didn't return the next year...

[Nevernose]

18. They're doing a remake

Sad, but rue. I barely remember the original, honsetly, but remember loving it. Perhaps that'll be mu next NexFlix order.

[LeftyMom]

21. *Americans* are doing a remake

and if that wasn't bad enough it's with Nick Cage. :puke: :puke:

I don't know if he's gonna be Howie or Summerisle. I don't honestly know which sounds worse.

[CanuckAmok]

27. It's being shot up here.

In the San Juan Islands off BC/WA.

Yes, I think in this version, Nicholas Cage rescues Jennifer Aniston from the Wicker Man at the last possible moment by crashing a stolen Lamborghini through it.

[CanuckAmok]

15. The killer in "The Vanishing".

He's so creepy because he's so completely normal in every way, except he likes to kill people.

[Baclava]

20. Yes...yes...

...anyone can commit murder with impunity. That's what this movie documents. A sociopath who for an insane reason he's in his head concocted, plans and executes the perfect crime. Film is very well done...

[CanuckAmok]

24. and he's shown doing good deeds, to further complicate the issue

He rescues the little girl who is drowning, and is apparently a kind and loving father/husband.

The fact that he was given a multidimentional character is so brilliant and uncommon. Every other "villain" in the movies seems to have his switch stuck on "evil". They're one step away from Snidley Whiplash"

[Baclava]

28. Come, come...don't ruin it for all of us...

The Hannibal Lecter Novels:

Modern/Postmodern Fables
Americana: The Journal of American Popular Culture (1900-present), Fall 2003, Volume 2, Issue 2

A breed of mild pervasive cabbages has set up a wide and creeping rot in the West of Europe.

(Wyndham Lewis, Tarr, 1919)

The essence of the worst, the true asafoetida of the human spirit, is not found in the Iron Maiden or the whetted edge; Elemental Ugliness is found in the faces of the crowd.

(Thomas Harris, Hannibal, 1999)

[I Know How To Do it]

31. Please Please Please for the love of GOD see the original

French/Belgian version and not the U.S. version abomination.

One of the most truly creepy movies I've ever seen.
The scene were he practices on his daughter makes my skin crawl.

[lpbk2713]

17. Jack Palance in Oklahoma Crude.

The embodiment of evil. You can see evil radiate from his face.

[Baclava]

30. Don't forget Alfonso Arau as El Guapo.

[CanuckAmok]

25. A nod to "Begbie" in Trainspotting.

Robert Carlyle's performance as the violent, volatile, insecure, sociopathic "Begbie" was brilliant.

[Wetzelbill]

26. Dwight Yoakum in "Sling Blade"

Shooter Mcgavin (Christopher McDonald) in "Happy Gilmore"

Big Ern McCracken (Bill Murray) in "Kingpin"

Pat Healey (Matt Dillon) in "There's Something About Mary"

Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

Jett Rink (James Dean) in "Giant"

[Baclava]

32. Dwight Yoakam as Doyle Hargraves in Sling Blade

Interesting....Good one

[Wetzelbill]

33. he was a total ass

in that. I loved that character, a really well written film.

[Eyeball Kid]

34. No one's mentioned Henry Fonda?

Y'all need to see more movies...



From Once Upon a Time in the West.

They don't come any badder!

[Xtreme]

35. Anthony Quinn in "Last train from gun hill"

Vernon Wells in "The road warrior"

Jude Law in "Road to perdition"

[Enraged_Ape]

36. Alec Baldwin in "Glengarry Glen Ross"

"PUT THE COFFEE DOWN!! COFFEE IS FOR CLOSERS!"

[datasuspect]

37. harvey keitel: bad lieutenant

[kiki]

38. Ben Kingsley in "Sexy Beast"...

...when he's kicked off a plane because he refuses to stop smoking, he looks at the other passengers and says, "I 'ope this fackin' crashes!"

Charles Dance in "Last Action Hero". "Since you're about to die anyway, I may as well tell you the whoooole plot!"

[swag]

40. Sorry I duped you below.

I could watch that movie many more times. They had me using "Peaches" by the Stranglers as the opening tune.

[kiki]

41. His performance is just so... wierd...

It's completely unique and devoid of cliches... he's so odd it seems like he just has to be a real person.

[youspeakmylanguage]

51. If you ever meet a true sociopath who still tries to fit in with a crowd..

...you'll see the performance was spot-on.

People with that type of personality are some of the scariest people you'll ever meet in your life.

[swag]

39. Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) in "Sexy Beast"

You're the problem! You're the fucking problem you fucking Dr White honkin' jam-rag fucking spunk-bubble! I'm telling you Aitch you keep looking at me I'll put you in the fucking ground, promise you!

[RebelOne]

42. Scott Glenn as Wes Hightower

in Urban Cowboy. He was a bronc-riding ex-convict.

[Deja Q]

43. Khan, Kristatos, Chang, Franz Sanchez, Necros, Magneto, food poisoning*

* food poisoning = "Airplane!"

[Glorfindel]

44. Rutger Hauer as the android Roy Batty in "Blade Runner"

a luminous, perfect performance.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

50. What about him as "The Hitcher?"

Two words: two trucks.

[kevsand]

47. Orson Welles in "The Third Man" /nt

[CBHagman]

48. Don't forget Edward G. Robinson in Key Largo.

Robinson is often associated with the tough-guy roles he played, but his career had greater breadth than that. He also played straight arrows, nerds, good-hearted farmers, and the like during his career.

But in Key Largo, his character, a gangster, is the definition of odious. I won't catalogue his sins here -- it's better that you see the movie -- but among the milder ones is sexual harassment of a young widow.

No matter how gentle of spirit you are, you will crave an appropriate comeuppance for this particular gangster.

[youspeakmylanguage]

49. Aaron Eckhart in Neil LaBute's "In The Company Of Men"

He creeped me out like no other movie character before or since...



I loved Ebert's description of his character: "Now here is true evil: Cold, unblinking, reptilian. The character Chad in "In the Company of Men" makes the terrorists of the summer thrillers look like boys throwing mud-pies..."

If you haven't seen the movie, rent it tonight.

Blade Runner (kind of)
The Hitcher
Split Second

[Initech]

56. Tyler Durden

Brad Pitt needs to play the bad guy more often!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

57. Mccauley Calkin in the Home Alone films

I was always rooting that the good guys would manage to break in to the house and teach that smart-assed, snot-nosed little kid a good lesson.

[XemaSab]

59. Everyone in Shallow Grave

Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox, Christopher Eccleston.

Alan Rickman as Snape in the Harry Potter films.
