O yeah baby
The Van Waldenburgs in Blades of Glory were good...
The ultimate bad guy in any movie ever was Henry Fonda in Once upon a time in the West for the sole reason Henry Fonda always played good guys. This casting was against type, but absolutely brilliant...

This could go in the 'what makes you feel old' thread but I spotted the guy behind Henry Fonda as Charles Bronson right away...
On the topic of movie villains, the Lord of Darkness from Legend was heinous.

Darth Vader.
well i list my fav's from 1-5.. (1 is my fav of favs)
1) Damien Thorne from the omen
2) Mr. freeze
3) Darth vader
4) Draco Malfoy
5) Micky Mouse
I always thought that Henry Fonda was the "bad guy" in Fort Apache, but that may be just me. It was a good movie anyway.
Just been reading the synopsis of that one on wiki and I think 'bad guy' might be a matter of perspective. I can't read from that bit on wiki that he is an actual bad guy in the pure sense of the word. But that might just be me...Quote:

It's a tie between what KT posted (Fat *******) and Captain Hook.
Absolutely agreed! But then, Sergio Leone's casting was always brilliant. :)Quote:

ok micky mouse has moved upto the 4 spot in my list of bad guys..:D
Not many do it better than Gary Oldman.
Pick a role...
Dracula
The Professional
Air Force One
5th Element
Book of Eli
... and so on, and so forth.
edit: He's probably thanking the gods for the new Batman series.
He finally get's to break type-cast and be one of the GOOD guys.
mikey is off the list but been put on the subs list now now Dr.egghead had taking his place
Michael Douglas was pretty good in Falling Down.

I like my bad guys to be complex characters who aren't so much bad as just a bit off track.
Id gotta say Dr. Evil from Austin Powers, lol. (Mini Me included)
Agreed! That movie was a fantastic piece of cinema.Quote:

It's a bit like Robert Deniro in Taxi Driver.
We watch an ordinary guy lose his way and you know he is going to kill someone. It could have been the politician but it ended up being the pimp etc. We know he is crazy but he thinks he is going to be a heroic figure. In the end he looks like a hero but that's only because he went one way and not the other.

They just don't make movies like that very often. Probably because they ask the audience too many questions and make them feel uncomfortable. It's much easier to have two dimensional characters that are easy to read. He's the good guy, he's the bad guy, she is the girl who is caught up in something she can't control but the hero will save her and they will fall in love.
Taxi Driver had some of those character types but then mixed it all up. In the end the girl he "saves" is horrified by Deniro's character because she can see the crazy killer that he really is.

The alien from Alien. I'm sad that I can't nominate my all time favorite bad guy, Venger, because he's from a TV series and not a movie.
Saruman from lord of the rings and Count Dooku. So basically Christopher.
Yeah. He did play the role of villain great.
Him, Dracula, or Darth Vader (no duh, right?)
Major Uber Ultimate B.A. bad guy ever invented

no name first erson to say who that is gets rep have fun :D
Sephiroth.
What did I win again?
You beat me to it.
I cpoied the pic and looked at the title.
This one may not be well known.
In the year 2000 an Australian film was released called Chopper.
It was the story of Mark "Chopper" Reid, portrayed by Eric Bana.
http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/20...b__300x300.jpg
Chopper in real life was a thug and a gangster, basically a hard man and stand-over merchant. He is responsible for a number of murders, but the actual number is uncertain because Chopper is also a notorious liar. As he has said himself, never let the truth stand in the way of a good yarn.
Chopper was an evil bloke, no doubt about it. He used violence in a casual manner to get what he wanted and then would crack jokes about it later when he retold his stories. It was this larrakin humour that made Chopper a sort of cult hero in Australia, even though he was the sort of bloke you would hate to have show up at your house.
He was quick witted and always ready with a snappy retort as this exchange illustrates.
Chopper: Oh, Keithy. I always thought I was a good bloke.
Keithy George: Ha. What did you ever do that was good?
Chopper: Well, I bashed you. That was good, wasn't it? It was good for a bit of a giggle, anyway.
Eric Bana's portrayal is uncanny in the resemblance to the real man, who is a shameless self promoter and yarn spinner. The movie tries to give an insight into the schism Chopper suffers from himself, in that the truth is lost a bit and the stories are changed to suit the audience.
An example of this is a story where Chopper shoots a drug dealer while trying to extort some money and then drives the victim to the nearest hospital emergency room. These days Chopper denies it ever happened. "Why would I drive him to hospital? It sort of defeats the purpose of shooting him, doesn't it?"
There's no doubt Chopper was an evil, brutal criminal who spent most of his life in prison. He wasn't even a major underworld figure in Melbourne, but he has become a legendary figure in Australia anyway. Go figure.

Yoda isn't a villain.
I'm torn between Darth Vader (he gave such good chills in those first movies, and the music was PERFECTION) and Jack Nicholsen. His character in The Shining was pure brilliance. I despise horror movies of any type, and I love that movie.
I want to throw some credit to Heath Ledger for his Joker. Wow. Just wow.
^ THIS! ...exactly THIS!!Quote:

Here's another ordinary guy, a family man, who goes off the rails a bit and loses control.
The real villain of the film was the hotel itself, or at least the evil spirits that were in the hotel. Nicholson's character becomes the physical embodiment of those evil spirits.
The movie had some flaws and probably over-emphasised the Nicholson character. The book focused more on the boy and his phsycic powers (the shining).
