Who’s the best villain?
Jump to: Newest in thread
So many great movie villains to list but special mentions to, Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men, Darth Vadar and The Emperor from Star Wars, Alan Rickman’s gloriously OTT Sheriff Of Nottingham from Robin Hood, Hannibal Lecter and Freddy Krueger. |

If you prefer your villains being the strong, silent type then Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers must get an honourable mention.
I think the former is listed as having personally bumped off over 146 onscreen victims(!) |

God has literally killed billions of people hasn't he? I think he knocks every terrorist, despot and slasher villain for six when it comes to body count. |

For Brit it's usually just posh English or cockney though isn't it? Not so many Scottish baddies, we're always just the alkies! |

Limited to Movies? That's a tough choice.
However in terms of fictional villains across all platforms one of the best villains is The Joker. Even the whole hero and villain dynamic of Batman and the Joker is perfection. |

 A sure sign of a bad guy! (With the exception of Simon Templar’s, Jaguar XJS from Return Of The Saint - remember that classic?) |

It’s apparently customary for any Scottish actor playing a villainous role in a Hollywood, to abandon his proud accent and to instead adopt a plummy posh, Queen’s English tone as American audiences canny understand a word o’it. Unless that is, you are Sean Connery whereupon you can even play a Scottish accented Russian.... |

Nurse Ratched is one of a few characters I actually hated when watching a film. Other villains have been acted well etc. but I think she was just brilliant in her role.
