    Mr. Potter (It's A Wonderful Life) Vs Esther (Orphan) - Have to abstain, haven't seen either.

    The Fisherman (I Know What You Did Last Summer) Vs HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) - A great concept.

    Mrs. Danvers (Rebecca) Vs Predator (Predator franchise) - Legit terrifying as a kid.

    Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (Con Air) Vs Cameron Alexander (American History X) - A great performance from Malkovich. Con Air could feasibly have multiple entries here.

    Mr Potter, absolute bastard, shame on those that have never seen IAWL!!!!

    Hal 9000

    Predator

    Cameron Alexander, Cyrus is just too damn cartoony and is a bit of a caricature, Cam though, a wholly believable scumbag preying on the weak.

    Predator (Predator franchise) - toughie that, Mrs D was a horrible vindictive bitch but she didn't collect human skulls as far as I know.

    Actually I know predator but I don't like those movies so won't vote for it.

    And I know American history X, brilliant movie but I don't remember the villian guy. Can't watch the movie again either because of the scene with the face on the curbe.
    Brilliant movie just can't handle that part

    Bob (Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me) - Scary fecker. Gaston was a big-headed twerp but to the extent that he was a legend too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,938 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Also Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast movie (not the animated one)is my favourite character in the movie. The Beast does nothing for me at all.

    Luke Evans is a little beaut in the movie. Although he bats for the other team irl, I'd still put him in the **** bank :p

    Himself and LeFou in the movie are hilarious together :D:D

    I've seen it so many times & love their parts.

    Such a shame with Emma Watson's casting in that movie. On paper she is the perfect candidate for Belle, but she falls terribly flat & totally changes the mood of the movies whenever she appears.

    Could have been an absolute gem of a movie with how Luke Evans & Josh Gad work together. Shame.
