    The best bad guy actors for me are John Malkovich(Con Air, In the line of fire) and Kevin bacon(River wild, Sleepers). Who are you favorite bad guys/bad guy moments?

    Con Air


    River Wild

    Simon Bates used to terrify me as a kid when he popped up at the start of a video to do the BBFC warning, especially when I was watching a 15s film. His nerdy exterior just made him scarier.



    In terms of actual villains, Rev. Kane in Poltergeist II still gives me the willies.

    Not necessarily my favourites but two kants that spring to mind are Scar from Lion King and Lotso Huggy Bear from Toy Story 3.

    Gary Oldman in Leon, The Fifth Element and in Air Force One. He plays the part very well.

    Christophe Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds.

    Edit: Completely forgot Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth in Schindlers List, the fact that he didn't get an Oscar is just insanity to me.

    Where to begin????

    Christopher Walken -- King of New York and True Romance. Absolute scumbag.
    Robert Carlisle -- Begby, Trainspotting (shudder)
    Pesci as Tommy in Goodfella -- Another horrible creature.
    John Lithgow as Earl Talbot Blake -- Ricochet.
    Olivier -- Marathon Man

    Brad Pitt was "OK" -- Kalifornia

    Michael Madson -- Reservoir Dogs



    BUT.....IMHO opinion, the top prize has to go to:

    BEN KINGSLEY -- Don Logan, Sexy Beast (that fcuker still gives me nightmares)


    Kingsley in Sexy Beast, Carlisle as Begby in Trainspotting and tack on Russell Crowe as Hando in Romper Stomper and you've got some terrifying bastards right there.

    Mr. Henry F. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) in It's A Wonderful Life

    Mr Potter the evil banker stole all the money on Christmas Eve. Does he get his comeuppance ?

    Nope.
    The rest of the community goes deeper in dept to pay off the money.



    The bad guy winning in 1946 in feel good family entertainment ?

    Sean Bean up until last night...he was in something as a troubled transvestite (but sher what tranvestite ISN'T? :))
    Even I could not do him looking like that.
    Though it would be kind of kinky ;)
    No. Sean Bean all the way. Rough n ready.
