Best Bad guy in films

[pc-guy]

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious ********.

That is a good one.

 

[montymint]

Was going to suggest him in True Romance but he's probably not in it long enough.

Him with Dennis Hopper gave one of the best scenes to ever grace our screens.

That's a tough one to answer so I won't.

My favourite bad guy in films actor is Michael Ironside. I like what he said about always playing the bad guy some decades ago, and I paraphrase....

He liked playing the bad guy because "the hero gets beaten up multiple times throughout a film but the bad guy only does at the end.".

He was epic as Head Henchman Richter in Total Recall.

 

[Doobedoo]

Trevor in Eastenders.

 

[Rroff]

Another Nutter

Anthony Hopkins definitely up there with the best when it comes to really sinister villains.

 

[UTmaniac]

I'm struggling to come up with an alternative suggestion not mentioned already...

Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith in The Matrix films?

Heck, I'm feeling so groggy today I'm struggling to come up with films I've watched!!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Palpatine

 

[wolfie138]

Nobody mentioned Kurgan yet?!

 

[Minusorange]

Amon Göth, the Arbeitslager Commandant played by Ralph Fiennes in Schlinder’s List.

Should have gotten an oscar for that performance

 

[Grimley]

I'll throw my hat in the ring with Auric Goldfinger, the best of the Bond Villains.

 

[tuckenator]

Philip seymour hoffman in MI:3
Alana Rickman in Robin Hood
Joaquin Phoenix - Gladiator

Although not a film, I can't believe Anthony Starr hasn't won every award out there for his role as Homelander in The Boys

 

[Columbo]

The Predator in the original Arnie version is probably one of my fav baddies of all time.

 

[arc@css]

Darth Vader or Terminator (1984).

The guy from 300, very creepy.

 

[Thekwango]

The guy from 300, very creepy.

The emperor dude or the deformed dude!?

 

[Thekwango]

I’d say almost everyone from The Departed apart from Martin Sheen!

Maybe, maybe not

Quite liked dignam

 

[throwaway4372]

The 'god'

 

[Thekwango]

Maybe, maybe not

Quite liked dignam

He was cold as **** at the end!

 

[Thekwango]

The 'god'

Deformed dude freaked me out more! Xerxes was just a weirdo with a god complex.
