I don´t know if this as been asked before, but i watched Silence of the lambs again the other night and had forgot how scarey Anthony Hopkins was.
Although i expected him to be rubbish, Heath Ledger was excellent as the joker in the dark knight.
Who is your favourite or scarey film villain?
I really don't like scary movies but AH is pretty good as Hannibal Lector but I also enjoyed Robert De Niro in Cape Fear and Billy Zane in Dead Calm
I agree with Lois, definitely Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear.
Also John Malkovich in pretty much any movie he's done. He's just a scary looking man.
John Travolta is the best bad guy//
I love movie villains, so I have a few favourites (aside from AH as Hannibal who is the standout winner for me):
Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
Jack Nicholson in The Shining
Christian Bale in American Psycho
The mechanical shark in Jaws
Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights...
Freddie Cruger from Nightmare on Elm street. It was scary enough watching when I was a teen, I think I'd still be scared now.
Do ghost's count, what about the movie poltergeist yikes where's my pillow to hide behind ha ha
Robert Mitchum...The Night Hunter.....and original Cape Fear
Bill the Butcher ~ Gangs of New York
Magua ~ Last of the Mohicans
Kakihara ~ Ichi the Killer
Mine would be the Joker
And YOung hannibal
Do you wanna know..
Why I use a knife?!
Guns are too quick.
You can't savour all the little..
Emotions.
Imotep from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. I just love Arnold Vosloe's (not sure that his name is spelled right) voice.
Cyrus the Virus (Con Air) & Galbatorix (Eragon), John Malkovich is a great bad guy!
Sheriff of Nohttingham (Robin Hood; Prince of Theives {Alan Rickman})
wihtout a doubt, Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Seven.
Yeah John Malkovich and Steve Buscemi in Con Air
To me the scariest villains are the most realistic. Oh, sure, Darth Vader, Khan, the Terminator, those are all great villains but they're escapist. They don't scare you because they can't possibly exist. Same goes for ghosts and goblins for most folks... But, plain wacko crazy weirdos? They scare the shit out of me!
#1 - Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter in Silence of The Lambs
#2 - Jame Gumm aka "Wild Bill" in Silence of The Lambs
#3 - Annie Wilkes in "Misery"... Hobbling. Need I say more?
I'm a wild and Krrraaazzzy Guy!
