Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Oh I liked Cassanova Frankenstein, but cant say he should be in the company of Bill or Darkness, honorable mention though. :)

3 so far....

Magneto (Ian McKellen/Michael Fassbender) – X-Men:

http://i.imgbox.com/uVgFrKbI.jpg

Apparently it was a pleasure to work on that set;).

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

OK NOW WERE TALKIN'! :)

Darkness (LEGEND)
Joker (Dark Knight Returns)
Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York)
Magneto (X-Men)
Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
Darth Vader (Star Wars) Vader is a Dr Doom ripoff, and represents Doom better than any FF movie

My favourite Lex Luthor – I liked what Kevin Spacey did as well, as I think he was part of the homage to the first four films. Haven't seen Jesse Eisenberg yet.

So which Dr Doom in the films did you prefer?

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Gene Hackman was awesome, but he could play a more sinister Luther great too.

None. Truly the only thing that has come close to what Doctor Doom is like in the well written comic books is Darth Vader. I wish it were different, hes my favorite comic villain.

It's a shame when franchises like that can't get going. Who would have thought Spider-Man would have been through two reboots in this space of time?

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Here's a few from me.

Hans Gruber (Die Hard)

Darth Vader (Star Wars)

Magneto (X-men)

Alec Trevelyan (Goldeneye)

Donald "Red" Grant (From Russia With Love)

If we could stray into animated films, Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty, not the Angelina Jolie version)

El Indio (For a Few Dollars More)

Magua (Last of the Mohicans)

As far as preferences for Dr. Doom, I have none; neither was particularly good.

That's a good one – I should check out Philip Madoc playing him in the TV adaptation:p.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

As far as Buffalo Bill goes, I'd like to mention Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter as played by Anthony Hopkins in the same movie.

Oooo Magua was good! One of my fav performances, but Id put it with Geoffrey Rush Cassanova Frankenstein honorable mention category

THANK YOU! I was waiting for that one. Buffalo Bill.....


Darkness (LEGEND)
Joker (Dark Knight Returns)
Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York)
Magneto (X-Men)
Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Hannibal Lecter (Silence Of THe Lambs)

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

A few more:

Frank (Once Upon a Time In the West)

Captain Dudley Smith (L.A. Confidential)

The Xenomorph (Alien)

Bane (The Dark Knight Rises)

Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Actually if they ever nailed the Doctor Doom character correctly, he'd be one of the greatest screen villains of all time, no exaggeration, and Ill tell you why.

Doctor Doom goes beyond megalomania, but whats the absurdity is he can back it up. He has a peronality that is incredibly charasmatic and magnetic. Leads a country so acts presidential. Knows the dark arts of magic, and the highest levels of technology. Went into hell itself and took his Mom from the Devil then left.

Now which Dr Doom in film comes close to that? :)

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Neither.

Hell to the yeah


Darkness (LEGEND)
Joker (Dark Knight Returns)
Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York)
Magneto (X-Men)
Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Hannibal Lecter (Silence Of THe Lambs)
Frank (Once Upon A Time In The West)

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Mr. Blue (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three; the Robert Shaw version, not the John Travolta version)

That does sound pretty good. It reminds me of that film with Charles Middleton playing the Devil, and when someone mentions Al Capone he gives a start and says "He's not coming here!?"

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) - Blue Velvet (1986)

http://berlinfilmjournal.com/wp-cont...2014/10/14.jpg

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

She was the best thing about the movie.

Hackman was great, another one would obviously be Heath Ledger's Joker and I also like

I loved that. I worked out a couple of Shyamalan's ideas but I don't think I'd ever have seen that one coming.

While I wasn't a fan of Superman Returns, I have to admit that I did like Spacey's Luthor. Hackman is still my favorite, though.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Ill suggest a few but I wont say they are worthy of being on "the list"

Mister Blond

http://www.ablazingly.com/posters/re...-mr-blonde.jpg

Paul Shannon (Chain Reaction)

http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/sys...jpg?1384968217

Keyser Soozer (The Usual Suspects)

http://38.media.tumblr.com/e1fa6a7df...Oum1qz4rgp.gif

Funnily enough I liked Arnold Schwarzenegger more because I thought he was good in the more serious and emotional bits for Mr Freeze. In a way Uma Thurman was handed a retooled version of Selina Kyle in Batman Returns but much less interesting and far too tongue in cheek for my liking. On the plus side, she was stunning:).

Oh and she was brilliant as Medusa in Percy Jackson.

Oh yeah


Darkness (LEGEND) Tim Curry
Joker (Dark Knight Returns) Heath Ledger
Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York) Daniel Day Lewis
Magneto (X-Men) Ian McKellen

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Oy! Is that top photo from Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom?

Yep. Mola Ram. Love him.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Yes. Mola Ram's a heartless bastard.

But he has a heart. It's right there in his hand. :D

There's no doubt Barnes was a villain. He wasn't just a soldier, he was a murderer. He didn't just kill "the enemy", he murdered his own comrades.

Yep, and I gotta say Mola Ram was a damn good villain, which brings me to Belloq from from Raiders.

Just ask Sgt. Elias.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

I gotta add this one to the list, dont think she'll get mentioned

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Ash (Alien)

This is one many won't expect, and I guess he'd be classified as comedic... and he didn't start out as a villain, but eventually became one ...

Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) - Pink Panther movies

Michael Myers !!

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

And now for a curveball... Zed and Maynard (Pulp Fiction)

I'm surprised you haven't put Baguul up yet.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Who's Baguul?

I'd like to mention the psychotic rapist Max Cady as played by both Robert Mitchum and Robert De Niro in their respective versions of Cape Fear. Both simply reek of evil while onscreen. I'm surprised no one's mentioned him yet.

http://images2.static-bluray.com/rev...88_7_1080p.jpg

The monster from Sinister.

Yeah I though about it because I love the monster but there's so many horror movie icon that I love.

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

More recently on a TV-Show...

Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'onofrio) - Daredevil (TV-Show)
http://media2.fdncms.com/orlando/ima...89/kingpin.jpg

He is truly great and awesome portrayal of Kingpin in my opinion.

I was wondering where he's been since Law and Order: Criminal Intent ended.

He's been played by many on film, but the one from the movie I like best was Chuck Heston as...
Cardinal Richelieu (the villain to) - The Three Musketeers (1973)

http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w780/gFnEF...vZv5yWf9hU.jpg

Side note: in real life, Richelieu may not have been as sinister a figure as he played in Dumas' novels as he left a legacy of many good works and positive changes behind him.

Y'know, I forgot Chuck Heston even played a bad guy.

Warden Norton (Bob Gunton) - The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130412003704

We're still wondering how he could be so obtuse?

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Regarding Shawshank, it was the leader of the bull queers that scared the hell out of me.


Im hearing good things about this Daredevil series, and D'onofrio is a great actor, Im sure his Kingpin is pure money. TONGO gotta see it. :yup:

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

David Tennant's Kilgrave (Jessica Jones) is probably one of the nastiest villains I've ever seen.

Yes, but Warden Norton was ultimately the main villain.
We could say Captain Hadley was a villain also (he beat the fat guy to death, almost threw Andy off the roof and shot Tommy on Norton's orders), but he won a small place in our hearts after he put Bogs (the leader of the bull queers) in a wheelchair!

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Immortan Joe (Mad Max: Fury Road)

Re: Favourite Screen Villains
 

Amon Goeth (Schindler's List).
