Movie Villains ...weather Brilliant bad guy or Maniac mad man, a good villain is the cornerstone of most great films...so, I'm wonder..who are Dakkas favorite " bad guys" and why?

..I'll kick things off with one of my personal favorites..
Michael Myers from the 1978 film Halloween..



This Murderous maniac IMO truly embodies unstoppable evil...
Relentless and absolutely with out mercy...
No amount of Courage or Bravado will stop him...
No amount of witty banter will sway him..
No amount of prayer or faith will stay his hand...

He is truly purpose personified..
..and his purpose is to kill..

Freakin raptors man! They eat you! These guys gave me nightmares as a youth, movie villains I could always root for. You cannot root for a raptor it is not human!

Ms. Annie Wilkes.

WARNING: IMAGE IS NOT SFW.

Misery is one of my favorite movies, ever.

I don't know if I could pick a favorite, but this guy sprang immediately to my mind when I thought about the question in the OP. I like him because he's not very nice, but with a little bit of empathy you can understand why is the way he is.

Evil Lord Checklist:
Evil domain? Check...
Ominous looking, spire ridden, black castle of death and doom? Check...
Armies of evil looking goons at his beck and call? Check...
Small unit of ultra creepy looking bodyguard henchmen? Check.
Black Magic? Check.
the ability to make the good guys crap their chainmail pants upon seeing him? Check.

Looks like you check out Mr. Sauron, have a nice day...

...Here's one of my Favorite sociopaths ...the loveable Alexander Delarge from A Clockwork Orange...

Best of the best, better than all the rest.

Peerless.

Sociopaths?



I made the mistake of watching Nightmare on Elm Street when I was ten...

I can sincerely say that it fethed my childhood over pretty thoroughly...I still have nightmares...

This movie scared the living gak out of me as a kid.

Give it a try! It's directed by Stan Winston, and if you fancy yourself a horror movie buff that name should mean something to you! The sequels are garbage, though.

I of course would be remiss if I didn't include these three on my list...Otis, Baby and of course..The Good Captain...

Not quite 'evil' but goes on the list of the most badass movie colonels ever

And I loved it when he called them the "Aboriginal horde" I burst into peals of laughter.




Ultra Evil voie? check
scary costume? check
secret weapons? check (four arms in two)
Unstoppable army? check
cool yellow eyes? check
Foot claws? check

Welcome to the Pantheon of evilry general...









and FITZZ? I don't really know who those folks are? Care to enlighten me?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

@ Ineptus...the infamous cast of "The Devil's Rejects"

Watch it...I dare you...

Let me give you a hint...its right up Fitzz's alley, that should tell you something...

@ Monster Rain...at what?

Just didn't have the damn decency to die.

I didnt see cartoons ruled out. I have always thought Maleficent was pretty dang evil the only reason she got mad and put the beauty to sleep on her b day was she didnt get invited to a party ...


Please don't attach non wargaming images to Dakka. thanks


REALL WHY DOES MY IMAGE GET BANNED it was a cartoon that is all ???

Grevious is an idiot, who had no good reason to be following Lord Sidious's command in fact the whole confederate army would have been better off without Sidious. While Grevious could have been a good concept

as a villain, instead he came across as a spineless moron.

He knows how much harm he is doing, and the fact that he is trying to minimize the damage being done by the aliens, who are even more evil, is no excuse.

He acted pretty good in the show...(But he could have been better in the film)

who's he?

Wanna say its one of the guys from "No country for Old Men" But I'm not sure...

Bingo

Nurse Ratchett: probably one of the coldest, and best acted movie villains of all time.

Ooooh. Good call, Rubiksnoob!

Hmm...I think this hardly qualifies:

/reopen thread (cautiously, and with all due respect to the great Hannibal)



The Joker, from The Dark Knight

He is the physical embodiment of Chaotic Evil.

He doesn't care about money. He doesn't want power. He isn't greedy.

He just wants to prove that your laws are wrong. Your society is weak and can be shaken to its core with little effort. Everyone is evil/selfish at heart if he puts pressure on them.

And he'll risk everyone's life, even his own, to prove it.

/re-close thread.

who is HE?
oops. ninja'd
