Your top ten movie villains

Peter Stormare / Fargo / "I want pancakes"

 

#6. Joel Grey as Franklin Wills in Man on a Swing.

 

Spader always played those type of roles in the brat pack movies.

In Less Than Zero, you could say he was the villainous character who was the drug dealer for Robert Downey, Jr.'s character and forced him into male prostitution to pay off his drug debt.

 

Did I already come up ?

 

No particular order............

Whoever played Hitler in a WW2 movie
The Iceberg (you know the one)
Sir Edward Matherson in The Wild Geese
Lotso in Toy Story 3
El Guapo in Three Amigos!
Kurgan in Highlander
Bill (as in Kill)
Ebola Virus in Outbreak
Thing (as in Thing)
Cigarette smoking man

 

Exactly who I was going to mention.

 

Percy Wetmore, The Green Mile

 

who's that guy

 

Actor Gary Oldman from the Professional , don't remember the characters name.

 

Ra (Jaye Davidson) - Stargate
Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) - A Few Good Men
Dr. Sebastian Caine (Kevin Bacon) - Hollow Man
Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman) - Hook
Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) - Dr. Strangelove
Commodus (Joaquin Pheonix) - Gladiator
Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Elliot Marston (Alan Rickman) - Quigley Down Under

Some tragic villains, some not so much...

The Penguin -Batman Returns
Max -Once Upon A Time In America
Stromberg -The Spy Who Loved Me (combined with Blofield = Dr. Evil)
Dennis Nedry -Jurassic Park (Newman!)
El Guapo -The Three Amigos (he really liked the sweater his bandits gave him for his birthday)
Mason Verger -Hannibal
Commodus -The Gladiator
Emperor Palpatine -Return of the Jedi
Saruman -Lord of the Rings
Barzini -The Godfather

 

Two of my favorite sleazy, villainous bosses. I think they now work for Lowes.

 

"be our friends"

 

Wasn't it: "Like us"?

 

You are probably right, it has been 15 years or so since I watched Catch 22.

 

It could have been amazing, but its just off the mark. But I still like it.

 

#7. James Mason as Ed Concannon in The Verdict.

 

The first one I thought of was Jake la Motta in raging bull.

 

Here's my wacky list. It goes to 12.

Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore) It's a Wonderfule Life
The Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes) Escape from New York
Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) Blue Velvet
Wez (Vernon Wells) Mad Max 2/Road Warrior
Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) Die Hard
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) Leon the Professional
The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) The Terminator
Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) The Matrix
Leonard Smalls (Tex Cobb) Raising Arizona
Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Capt. Dudley Smith (James Cromwell) L.A. Confidential
Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow) The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

 

#8. This fella:

 

you sir, are a genius!

 

Ryan was great at playing scum.

 

Ironic because he was an idealistic man. He did narration for the Carnegie Hall Woody Guthrie tribute when WG died. 1967? Dylan performed with The Crackers (they weren't even named The Band yet! Dear Mrs Roosevelt. I Ain't Got No Home, Grand Coulee Dam!) Judy Collins. Pete Seeger. Richie Havens. Odetta. I didn't know this before but it turns out their after show party was at Robert Ryan's apartment on the Upper West Side near Columbia U. When he gave up that suite it was taken over by John Lennon. The Dakota. Lennon lived there til his assassination.

 

#9. Geraldine Page in The Beguiled (1971)
