Who is your favourite Film Baddie of All Time?
Mine has to be Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. He was so good in that role that test audiences cheered him and booed Robin Hood, to the extent that several scenes had to be deleted (some of which are now available on new edition dvds.).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[the Sheriff has said he'll cut out Robin Hood's heart with a spoon]
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheriff of Nottingham: Wait a minute. Robin Hood steals money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love him for it?
[Scribe nods]
Sheriff of Nottingham: That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheriff of Nottingham: [to a wench] You. My room. 10:30 tonight.
Sheriff of Nottingham: [to another wench] You. 10:45... And bring a friend.

Quoting BoeingFever777 (Reply 7): Tchéky Karyo as Inspector Richard in "Kiss the Dragon".
Excellent choice...Karyo is brilliant villian.
I've read that MI:3 villian, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, is a scene stealer, perhaps, capuring the entire film...we'll see when Mission Impossible 3 hits theaters this summer.
I heard there is a scene were Tom Cruise is getting his ass kicked and the test audience was laughing and almost glad to watch it on the big screen!

After that little scene in Oprah I believe anyone would be happy to watch Tom Cruise getting his ass kicked.
Quoting FXramper (Reply 8): 2nd place, John Lithgow, in Cliffhanger.
Excelllent comedian, absolutely crappy villain (on a crappy movie, no-less...)
Read this very carefully, I shall write this only once!

I have to say that Agent Smith in the matrix has to be up there. I dont know if he is like that in real life, but his character was everything i expected an evil program to be.

What about Jack Nicholson? He played the bad guy in many Batman films and who can forget him screaming in the corridors of the deserted hotel in The Shining?
Robert deNiro has played many baddies, often brilliantly.
Another good baddie was Michael Ironside - menacing in Total Recall.

Would Jack Nicholson as Colonel Nathan Jessep in 'A Few Good Men' count?
Great actor, great character, great movie
'Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!'

Cruella DeVil has always been a fave of mine.
Next Up: STL-CLE-RIC-IAD-STL
25 KCMike: Christopher Walkin he has to be the most evil man to have ever taken a breath of air. with Darth Vader in a close second
31 Photopilot: My Baddie of All Time choice would have to be Lee Van Cleef. He was the classic "Western" baddie especially in roles such as Sergio Leone's classic...
32 Garnetpalmetto: Because Don Corleone is not meant to be a villain. While he may engage in an unsavory business, he and Michael are both meant to be sympathetic chara
33 Banco: And there was me expecting you to mention his performance as the pantomime baddie Douglas Jardine in the hilarious (and ludicrous) Bodyline of a few
34 Dtwclipper: Ann Blyth as Veda Pierce Forrester in Mildred Pierce. The evil child that everyone hates!
35 Copaair737: Joe Pesci in Casino. Played the part of Nicky Santoro perfectly. I think that Robert DeNiro's character was the protaganist in that movie, not JP's. P
36 N1120A: Alan Rickman, much like Paul Gleason, is the tailor made thinking man's bad guy He wasn't really a bad guy in that movie He does and he was great KAA
37 Cfalk: Damn, you beat me to it! And I had found the same picture too.
38 767Lover: I'm surprised no one has said Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest! I found Mickey Rourke positively disturbing in 9 1/2 weeks.
39 Dtwclipper: The wasn't bad, that was just camp.
40 L-188: Good Call! Agree 110% I don't think we can add Eli Wallach for that film, but he should get a nod for his role in "The Magnificent Seven" I can agree
