Favorite Villainous Performances

FilmJerk · 02-02-2008, 04:02 PM

A lot of memorable performances by villains. I really liked Bill Nighy as Davy Jones. Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris, some others. But fav of all time has to be Gary Oldman as Norman Stansfield in Leon. So awesomely over the top, I absolutely love it

Not a particularly great film, but I loved Steve Anderson's voice performance.

And I can already tell Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker will be phoenominal.

this goes completely without saying.

PsYkOoOoO · 02-03-2008, 11:43 AM

Off the top of my head.

Probably my most hated screen villain of all time.

This picture alone, scares me.

You can't reason with this guy, which makes him really scary.

She killed McMurphy! She did!

He ate fishes, alive!

Prison warden from Hell.

I have a couple of favorites such as Darth Vader in Star Wars, Clarence Boddicker in Robocop, and Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. However, my fav by far is Jack Nicholson as the Joker. Just love how he pulled that role off. Charismatic yet psychotic. Great performance.

My absolute favorite would have to be Darth Vader, followed closely be Hannibal Lecter.

IAmARevenant · 02-04-2008, 09:27 PM

and I consider this man very much a villain:

Here's the worst of the worst.

Any villain can try to take over the world and slaughter innocent people, but this is one villian whose entire goal was to KILL PUPPIES.

The Crusher · 02-05-2008, 11:27 AM

HELLO?!? PEOPLE?!? One of the best villan performances OF ALL TIME!!

The Crusher · 02-05-2008, 11:30 AM
