Best bad guy in cinema?

[brakespear]

Gary Oldman in Léon.

"I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven."

This and Rutger Hauer in 'Blade Runner'.

 

[Buzzer]

I've always thought that Gary Oldman hammed that role up far too much. I guess we see different things in it.

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Joe Pecci in Goodfellas.

Donald Pleasence in Will Penny.

 

[footychick]

Machete

 

[Bladders]

 

[PC-Gull]

Gene Hackman in The Quick and the Dead. Calculating and delightfully evil.

I always thought that Rutger Hauer was a Victim rather than a Bad Guy in Blade Runner......

 

[Bodular]

Alan rickman in love actually how dare he cheat on his lovely wife with that hottie !!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in 'No Country For Old Men'.

This. A truly evil man.

 

[Kumquat]

Just thought of Robert Shaw in the original "The Taking of Pelham 123".

Chillingly cold and calculating and a great foil to the seemingly shambolic controller of Walter Matthau. A much underrated film.

Just thought I'd say that I've got a t-shirt with that Camus quote you have on your strapline. When I wear it, someone always asks me about it or tells me how much they liked him.

 

[BadFish]

Dennis hopper as frank booth in blue velvet

Yes

 

[1959]

Brick Top in Snatch.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Christopher Walken in True Romance.

"I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you. My name is Vincent Coccotti."

CW in At Close Range, I think is his most menacing. Dark, dark stuff...
