    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

    Most recent, and the only one I can think of, Bane

    You young uns above (not the OP) are only naming recent films ^^^^

    Alan Rickman in Die Hard tops them all


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,569 ✭✭✭Rovi


    Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

    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.

    Heeeeeere's Johnny!


    Least favourite by FAR are Mr. Wynn and Mr. Kid from Diamonds are Forever. They were they weirdest bad guys ever, gave me serious heebie jeebies.

    Hannibal Lecter as portrayed by Brian Cox


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,083 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    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.

    I think Darth Vadar would take any of those guys......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 388 ✭✭TheKeenMachine


    The bad guy in For a Few Dollars More. I forget his name, but he was class. That pocketwatch . . . the gunfight with van Cleef. . . epic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    Robert Mitchum as the Reverend Powell in Night of the Hunter. An eerie film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭the_barfly1


    The Terminator.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    Jodie Foster in 'Accused.' That was a good one.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭tdv123


    Tuco from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    Tommy form Goodfellas.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭tdv123


    The Terminator.

    Arnold or Robert Patrick?

    At a certain age, this guy was truly terrifying:


    Robert Helpmann as the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,234 ✭✭✭donegal_man


    Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher, hands down.

    Danny Trejo in just about everything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,655 ✭✭✭Faith+1


    Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act. Very scary and meancing character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 635 ✭✭✭SEANoftheDEAD


    Always a mean son of a gun in films

    The only one that comes close is Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz.

    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.
