    John Ryder (The Hitcher) - A top notch baddie. Hans was in it for the money, Ryder just loved to cause mayhem and screw up people's lives for his own entertainment (a big influence on Lorne Malvo and Ledger's Joker)
    Hannibal Lecter(Various Movies) - both great peformnces, Bale nailed a coke-fiend who was cracking up but Hopkins the old scenery chewer takes it.

    I'm voting for Brian Cox in Manhunter.
    And Hans "he won't be joining us for the rest of his life." Gruber.

    Hannibal Lecter (Various Movies) - a doctor vs a nurse :D
    Annie Wilkes (Misery) - at least Jack would do you in quick, Annie would keep you for the rest of your life :eek:

    I think I missed the deadline, but I would have voted for Annie Wilks. Kathy Bates is very very terrifying.

    Hannibal Lecter (Various Movies) 7 Vs 3 Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest)

    Jack wins 4-8

    Shame to lose both Annie and Nurse Ratched. :(

    • Nurse Ratched : Aren't you ashamed?
      Billy : No, I'm not.
      [Applause from friends]
      Nurse Ratched : You know Billy, what worries me is how your mother is going to take this.
      Billy : Um, um, well, y-y-y-you d-d-d-don't have to t-t-t-tell her, Miss Ratched.
      Nurse Ratched : I don't have to tell her? Your mother and I are old friends. You know that.
      Billy : P-p-p-please d-d-don't tell my m-m-m-mother.

    Hans Gruber (Die Hard) - two of my nominations, this is a really tough call, but I think Hans is just the perfect movie villain so going for him.
    The Joker (Batman series)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭Yester


    Getting tough now.

    An NYPD officer tries to save his wife and several others taken hostage by the T-800 during a Christmas party at the Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. This sounds like a film I would like to see so - T-800 (The Terminator)

    Heath Ledger was outstanding as the joker so for that reason - The Joker (Batman series)

    T-800 (The Terminator) 1 6 Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
    Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men) 2 5 The Joker (Batman series)

    Pretty conclusive there.

    Semi Finals on the way.

    2 hour time limit

    I will post both together and we can run the finale this evening.

    4 very good contenders, like all of them
    I will go with Joker and Jack Torrance - I know that Nicholson's Joker isn't the most favourite of many people, but I love Burton's Batman films, so for me it would be a Jack Nicholson vs Jack Nicholson final.

    Gonna have to go with Hans Gruber in the first match. I think picking Joker is a bit of a conundrum as he’s been many different things in many different settings. He’s been camp, psychotic, an incel, comedic but it just muddles it a bit for me. Hans is the ultimate scary but suave European despotic prick and he gets my vote.

    Jack Torrance gets my other vote as he starts as an every man. Gets a little tired, then grumpy and finally full blown mental case. It’s the dissent that does it for me.

    I cannot believe we got to the semi-finals with no Wicked Witch of the West. Boards.ie is the only site on the web (dark web included) where she doesn't at least make the quarter-finals, and is the only place in the universe (known and unknown) where she loses to Cyrus the Virus.

    The Joker - Both great antagonists but Joker is just that more iconic for me.

    Hannibal Lecter - Just the quintessential villain. Even if you've never heard tell of Silence of the Lambs, you've heard of Hannibal Lecter. Jack Torrance is enjoyable but has definitely gotten a round too far here. Wouldn't have made my quarter-finals.
