Who is the best movie villian of all time?

[Shajen]

<font color="white">I nominate Kaiser Soze. </font>

[thatpfunk]

Bill the Butcher- Gangs of New York

Lil Ze- City of God

[ArchAngel71857]

Darth Vader.

-AA

[Edge34]

Hannibal Lecter.

Unless people are looking for badass weapons and special effects, I think its not even close. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Im going to go with Jack Nicholson in "The Shining"

Lil Ze is a good choice too...

[DMBFan23]

the hunter in bambi. what a dick.

[Soul Daddy]

As someone who naturally roots for the heel, I have to dig deep to find guys that I really hated yet thoroughly entertained me.

Commodus - Gladiator
Salieri - Amadeus

Darth Vader and Hans Gruber are both great choices.

if patrick bateman is a villian, him. otherwise bill the butcher probably.

In that case, I'll add his brother Simon Gruber from DH3 /images/graemlins/cool.gif

You're right, in a way.

The answer is Frank Booth, from Blue Velvet. Since Oldman copped his entire character in The Professional from Frank Booth, I suppose you were right, in a way, as I said.

[chaas4747]

Plus he tried to do his sister. I mean she was hot, but dude it's you sister.

Mark Brandon Read - The movie was Chopper (I think) and based on his life. Good actor played him, but all round shitty movie. Based on true events.

[Soul Daddy]

[ QUOTE ]
Hannibal Lecter

[/ QUOTE ]
I consider him more of a 'tweener. Plus, he's not the main antagonist in either movie ('Hannibal' never happened).

The problem I have with the Lector/Hans Gruber/Buffalo Bill type is that I look forward to their scenes too much. Their characters are so over the top (read: hilarious). A good villain should inspire pure ire.

Great post Shajen. Only thing is that Kaiser,doesn't do much appearing in the movie.

Hans Gruber is a good one, also Alan Rickman in Robin Hood is REALLY good. So the correct answer just might be Alan Rickman.

The mean IRS guys in the movie KIDCO. Bastards!

[Rick Diesel]

Definitely the Cookie Monster. Even though Sesame Street wasn't a movie, he is still the best villian.

[M2d]

She was the good guy

[Monkeyslacks]

Here's a few that come to mind but haven't been mentioned:

Nicholson as the Joker

Bates in Misery

Spacey in Seven

Lithgow in... that movie with Densel Washington

The guard from the Green Mile

^All excellent villians for different reasons.

[jakethebake]

Dr. Evil

[lucas9000]

kaiser soze is a great choice. i'd also nominate dr. evil, the predator, and mr. joshua.

Very interesting choice Dude. Why did you pick him?

I'm rather surprised no one has mentioned the likes of Freddy, or Jason, or Michael from Halloween.

Of course, if they did, I'd disagree, but you know, whatever.

EDIT: Looks like I missed Monkeyslacks' reply on the joker as well.

No way. Hannibal isn't even in the top 5. Did he kill his own family, the families of his enemies, his enemies, and his enemies friends ala Kaiser Soze? No.

Did he try and warp his own son over to the darkside ala Vader? No.

All he did was eat a few people.

Guess that disqualifies Darth Vader then (for those that chose him). I would've gone with the Emperor for Star Wars anyway. Darth Vader was an imposing figure, the Emperor was pure evil genius (and by far the best actor of the series).

My vote goes for Jack Nicholson as the Joker. Best casting choice in all of the Batman movies (thus far). I don't think the part could have been played any better. Not to mention his diabolical madness (ie. lets have a parade giving away free cash. It doesn't matter, because we'll just get it back after we poison everyone with gas) is not easily matched.

Benedict, from The Last Action Hero.

"If God were a villian . . . he'd be me."

Too bad they didn't have the special effects to end the movie the way it SHOULD have ended (i.e., him pulling Dracula/etc. out of the movies, instead of Slater's lame nemesis), but nonetheless . . .

Benedict. Definitely. Hans Gruber, a close second. I think the two of them would have gotten along famously.

By that I assume you mean 'Red Dragon' never happened, and Brian Cox did a great job as Lecter in 'Manhunter,' Anthony Hopkins did a great job in 'Silence of the Lambs,' and did what he could with the character in 'Hannibal.'

'Hannibal' was a masterpiece compared to 'Red Dragon.'

Nathan Jessup was a good guy. The Doctor screwed up. Jessup was going on info Dr. gave him of nothing wrong. Several great villians listed here , but Rocco of Pulbic Enemy #1 is the GRANDADDY of them all.

[SenecaJim]

ps. I would have strangled Demi Moore's character , not Nathan Jessup. And the treatment he gave Demi and Tommy at the base Q. was awesome.

Of course, I would have liked to do more to Demi than strangle her. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

There are over 100 responses in this thread and I don't think anybody mentioned the one movie villain which truly inspired terror in many people who watched the film.

When the film came out, many viewers were devastated by Margaret Hamilton's performance. That continued in subsequent airings on TV. Many can't rewatch the film years later because of it.
