Best villian
 

I haven't seen this topic yet.
Who do you think is the best villian and why?

christopher walken in View To A Kill (Bond)

because he was truely nuts .. i like the crazy genius type.

there arent many horror villians i like - they're mostly one dimentional bores.


... one exception .. chop top was pretty damn funny ..


innagoddadavida baby !

Best villain: nice topic.

Of course, it depends whether we're looking for a villain who's just that: nasty, or an anti-hero.

In the latter instance, like so many after me I'm sure, I'd have to go with Freddy Krueger. I'm not a huge fan of the Elm Street series but they had their merits. Freddy though was a very effective anti-hero franchise.

As for true, evil villains, I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone worse than the sadistic Japanese commanders in Men Behind the Sun. And although not a horror, Gary Oldman was very good in The Fifth Element.

Tim Roth makes a pretty good villain. Especially in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover & Rob Roy.

yeah .. he was excellent in Rob Roy .. one of my favorite bad guy portrayals

speaking of which .... could Helen Mirren be any hotter !!!
wow

Alan Rickman in "Die Hard"

Clancy Brown in "Highlander"

Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet
Tadanobu Asano as Kakihara in Ichi the Killer
Jurgen Prochnow as Sutter Cane in In the Mouth of Madness
Gene Hackman as Little Bill in Unforgiven
Malcolm McDowell as Alex in A Clockwork Orange
Tim Curry as Darkness in Legend
Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner

I thought the Hamburgler was a good villain, one of these days He'll get the best of Ronald McDonald and the gang.:)
