Howard Dean!

Anyone notice that Dean was absent from the AP poll that advocates Edwards and VP? Silly Dean supporters, losing again.

Me I was pissed Kucinich wasn't the choice, but not at all surprised.

[salinen]

20. That's Hedley!

[CharlesGroce]

12. Drago...

played by Dolph Lundgren, Rocky IV, now there was somebody who hates our freedom. You know, Dolph Lundgren obtained his Master's in Chemical Engineering...don't ask me why I know that.

[qwertyMike]

13. George C Scott

[ablbodyed]

the Attack of the Giant Lesbian, played with uncustomary gusto by Nancy Davis.

[CharlesGroce]

Glengarry Glenross,

Other cast members include Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey! for god's sake.

[Deja Q]

[punpirate]

21. Plenty of good bad guy performances out there....

Alan Arkin in "Wait Until Dark."

Tom Berenger in "Platoon."

Robert Prosky in "Thief."

Al Pacino in "Godfather II"

Jack Palance in "Oklahoma Crude."

Anthony Hopkins in "Silence of the Lambs"

Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity."

Malcolm McDowell in "A Clockwork Orange."

John Huston in "Chinatown."

Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver."

Laurence Olivier in "Marathon Man."

Dennis Hopper in "Blue Velvet."

James Cagney in "White Heat."

Plenty more. Playing the villain provides lots of opportunity to go over the top, chew the scenery a bit, without seeming out of character.

And, how could we forget: Ronald Reagan as "The President."

[salinen]

22. Gary Oldman

in "The Professional"

[ForrestGump]

41. And in "Air Force One"

[Gildor Inglorion]

23. Hannibal Lecter as portrayed by Anthony Hopkins...

in three movies. :)

[stavka]

24. Wez

The Australian turned Mohawk Wez, biker bully boy with an attitude and still loyal to his Lord, yet puts his boy toy somewhere special in his heart.

FYI: Pretty sure the editting is screwed up at the end of the tracking shot.

[Reciprocity]

25. Jason Isaacs as...

Lucius Malfoy

[fudge stripe cookays]

27. Cruella De Vil

so devil may care and fashion conscious. But definitely not a PETA member.

[Parrcrow]

28. Alan Rickman in Die Hard

Killer Yuppie/corporate executive wannabe.

[ForrestGump]

42. Yeah! He was a classic nasty in that. In "Quigley Down Under," too.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

50. Oh yeah, knew he'd make this list!

Sexiest bad guy around MJ

[mitchum]

29. Max Cady in "Cape Fear" (Robert Mitchum version)...

"I saw your daughter yesterday, counselor. She's getting to be about as ripe as your wife"

Big Bob also has second place as Rev Harry Powell in "Night of the Hunter"

[LiviaOlivia]

32. Yes Mitchum, it's defintely Mitchum for me

Both movies came to mind when I saw this thread.

[Parrcrow]

37. In the same role

Mitchum played an animal.
DeNiro played a monster.

Mitchum's version played better I thought because plausiblility was the hook that kept the audience engaged. Amoral is more plausible than evil.

[mitchum]

38. You are absolutely correct

DeNiro's characterization was that of a bug-eyed cartoon psycho, while Mitchum was menace in a Panama hat. Plausibility was the key.

[mitchum]

39. They are both unforgettable performances...

and strikingly different. Cady is very realistic menace, while Powell is the mythic Big Bad Wolf

[ironflange]

31. Goldfinger

And his nasty minion, Oddjob.

[delete_bush]

33. Professor Moriarty

in the Rathbone/Bruce versions of the Sherlock Holmes adventures.

[Selwynn]

34. Christopher Walken as Garbriel in The Prophecy

[Bossy Monkey]

35. You know I think maybe Paul Reiser in Aliens?

Creepy, slimy, utterly without redeeming feature

Clarence was great, too, though.

[Liberal Classic]

36. Ridley Scott's Alien

[skrunch]

40. PM Francis Urquhart

From the "House Of Cards" trilogy.

(Page has spoilers)

"You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment."

[Lestat]

43. Dracula.

[ForrestGump]

44. Charles Dance in "The Last Action Hero" was another good one, too

[DS1]

57. Excuse me! I've just SHOT someone!

:evilgrin:

I liked that movie, to hell with everyone else :hi:

[pauliedangerously]

45. "Angel Eyes"

From "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"

[AlFrankenFan]

46. Hannibal Lecter n/t

[MissMillie]

52. by far the best (n/t)

.

[AlFrankenFan]

61. Dang straight

:)

[Maat-hotep]

47. Magneto.

Seriously. Because he's human. After all those years of fighting the good fight, he just gave up on the human race. Kind of instructive, really, giving all the shit the left has had to go through these past... hell, forever.

[Deja Q]

55. Good one!!

Excellent villain indeed.

[fujiyama]

48. Christopher Lee

as Saruman and as Count Dooku in Episode II (he was the film's only redeeming quality).

I also enjoyed Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.

[Tom_Foolery]

51. Strother Martin as Captain in COOL HAND LUKE n/t

[Twillig]

53. Frank in "Once Upon a Time in the West"

Jebus, what a rat-bastard Henry Fonda played in that film!

[WilliamPitt]

54. THE DEMON FROM 'LEGEND'

[WilliamPitt]

56. ...and the Balrog from LOTR deserves a mention

[DerekG]

62. Agreed...

The film itself was uneven, but Curry was channeling evil at its most sublime.

[Spirochete]

58. Joe Pesci

in Goodfellas

[MikeG]

59. Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho"

[Guaranteed]

60. Jack Nicholson's Joker in "Batman"

Brilliant.

[DerekG]

63. Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back"....

He was Peter Cushing's goon in "Star Wars" and a big softy in "Return of the Jedi", but in TESB, the character was a Lovecraftian god! The director--Kershner, I believe--captured him in the most majestic of poses and movements; James Earl Jones' voice even had a different tone than in the other two. And then there are his actions: strangling two officers to death; torturing Han; severing his son's hand.

"I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further."
"Apology accepted, Captain Needa."
"Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?"
"No...I am your father!"

The definitive badass of film mythology.

[AngryAmish]

64. Revok
