[TX Girl]

So last night we went to the movies and saw No Country For Old Men. Someone i know said he thought the bad dude in it was possibly the best bad guy ever. He was a great villain, but not the best says i.

who do you think is worthy of the title Baddest Bad Guy??

Here is our list (what I could remember) please fill in and change as you see fit :)
to keep it from getting too crazy, we omitted any movies we deemed monster, superhero or horror movies

1 Hannibal Lector. hands down
2 Darth Vader. for his badness and icon-ness
3 Kevin Spacey's John Doe in Seven
4
5 Brad Pitt as Early in Kalifornia.
6 Arnold in Terminator
7 Gary Oldman in True Romance
8 Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers
9 Michael Madsen's Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs
10 Tex Cobb in Raising Arizona

well that is all i can remember

[Doctor Whoov]

Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange. Greatest anti-hero ever. Righty right me little droogs?

[birdgirl73]

I agree with lots of yours, TX Girl!

"Silence of the Lambs" Hannibal Lecter/Anthony Hopkins - Deeply and truly evil and scary
"Seven" John Doe/Kevin Spacey - Chilling. Spacey is one of my favorite actors.
"Fatal Attraction" Alex/Glenn Close - Psycho-crazy
"Natural Born Killers" Mickey/Woody Harrison - Woody has some crazy-criminal stuff in his family background. His dad was a convicted killer. I think he draws on that.

One of the scariest bad guys I have seen was a relatively unknown actor in a Ron Howard movie called "The Missing." He was the evil Apache, El Brujo, who kidnapped the star character's daughter and other young girls. The actor was Eric Schweig. His portrayal of a wicked bad guy was astonishingly frightening.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Saruman, because he managed to trap me on top of that tower for a while. And let me tell you, it was cold! But I kicked his ass in the end; he didn't anticipate me, the hobbits, and ents being homies. :cool:

never seen it.

whats the name of that dude that travels back in time and has a chainsaw for an arm and a shot gun..
:chainsaw:

[ghosty]

Yeah I agree with a lot of what's been said... heres some that come to my mind

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 , Bill - So heartless, and calm at all times, David Caradine was great in this role

Hannibal Lecter - Hannibal the cannibal is super creepy, Anthony Hopkin's will kinda creepy in any film cause I always think of Hannibal

Seven, John Doe - He's so self-righteous about it it makes it so much creepier

The Devils Advocate - Al Pacino was great as the devil

Scarface - Gotta mention that one too

Fight Club, Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden

The Warden in Cool Hand Luke

Darth Vader

Denzel's charachter in Training Day, i forget his name

[OLDE ENGLISH '800]

damn, your good!

thanks but i did have to google ash williams i knew the movie but not his name

[Flameon]

Love this question!

For me, the 'baddest' guys were the ones who scared me most as a child:

Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed) in 'Oliver'.
The Child Catcher in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' (Lollipops anyone?).
The Daleks in Dr Who (from behind the sofa). lol

[Nightcrewman]

Amon Goth-- Schindlers List.
Wicked witch of the west.---The Wizard of Oz.
The evil hunter that killed Bambi's mum---Bambi.
Damien---The Omen.

[TX Girl]

Ooooh, that sounds good, BirdGirl, I will have to check out The Missing, good bad guy roles are so delicious!

Good additions, Nightcrewman- Amon Goth- Schindlers List I would def put o the list

LOL Flameon, yeah, whatever scares you as a kid stays with you as an adult.


Love Army of Darkness, but I can't put Bruce Campbell's Ash on the bad guy list as ill tempered as he was, he was really the good guy, right? I mean who can blame him.

"Shop smart. Shop S Mart!"

CanaDanks,
Hell yeah, Jack in The Shining and Longshanks in Braveheart are close to top of the list. I haven't seen the other movies you mentioned, but I will take your word for it, heh.


Good call, Ghosty, I totally forgot about Kill Bill and I like your pick of the Warden in Cool Hand Luke.

I think I want to add Jeff Bridges in The Vanishing to the list. Not the best movie ever but he was pretty oogie

[bumclot]

Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh is definitely the best movie villain I have ever seen. A close second would have to be the bad guy from Wolf Creek, Mick Taylor.
They both play they're role so well, as unstoppable psychopaths, which is a lot scarier to me than some supernatural villain like Freddy Krueger, who is incredibly cheesy IMO.

EDIT: Christian Bale comes in third with his performance in American Psycho:D



Master Betty from Kung Pow

LOL!

[Subjekt]

2pac - in Juice:thumbsup:

[Metaphor]

any bad guy that jack nicholson plays

[sonic titan]

THE JOKER!

[bumclot]

I just saw The People Under the Stairs and the mother and father are definitely some bad baddies. WTF was up with the dad's bondage suit?!

[420_24/7]

Zed from Pulp Fiction, arguably the only "bad guy" in the movie, aside from the shop owner. They did some fucked up shit

[Infamous]

Ray Winstone in "Nil By Mouth".

Malcolm McDowell (sp?) in "Gangster No 1"

Two amazing performances....true bad guys. If there is anybody out there who likes British films then I would highly recommend those two. Oh and Back Alley Sluts Volume III.

[StickyfingahZ]

The Grandma from Goonies...............she was gonna grind up chunks hand in a blender,Das Pretty Hard Core right there!

[InvaderZim666]

zombies
and the borg! (star trek is an all time fav while baked!)

[TX Girl]

Haha!!! The Goonies. I saw that so many times back in the day. Saw it on tv last year sometime and it wasn't quite as I remembered it, but I still enjoyed watching.

bumclot- yeah, People Under the Stairs I forgot bout that movie, definitely needs an add to the list.

[psychocat]

Dennis Hopper as Frank in "Blue Velvet".
