Best "Evil" Character in a film

[Bring back John Fifita]

Well, who do you rate as the best of the worst? There are so many styles to consider but here goes..

My top 3 are
Longshanks in Braveheart - Decisive, brutal and logical. A character I hated so much I liked him
Hannibal Lector - Silence of the Lambs. One word - chilling.
T1000 in Terminator 2 - no comment needed.

I also thought that Phillip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant as Davian in Mission Impossible 3 - his calm delivery and cold, subtle manner was perfect .

Mr Barlow - Salems Lot (original)

 

[knights04]

Principal Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

 

[El Diablo]

Max Cady in Cape Fear

Norman Bates in Psycho

 

[stuke]

Wolf Creek - MICK

 

[El Diablo]

Tony Montana - Scarface

 

[McLovin]

Definately the T1000 in Terminator 2. An unstoppable (almost) machine hunting you down, day and night...

 

[Ghoulies]

Not your typical evil character, but he still sort-of fits the bill (at least IMO):

Gordon Gecko - Wall Street

 

[newtownbluebags]

Damien - The Omen 8-[

gotta agree with EL D here max cady from cape fear,actually no one plays a crazy like De niro. and hannibal got to be up there as well.

 

[Phillips]

Doug the Head - Snatch

 

[Sir Biffo]

Bennett from Commando.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Professor Moriarty - from the original Sherlock Holmes movies.....

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Kevin Spacey - Usual Suspects.

 

[gregstar]

bambi - movie of the same name.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Dr. Evil.... :lol:

 

[DownUnder]

Darth Vader and Hannibal Lector would have to be two of the best if not the two best evil characters ever created.

 

[newtownbluebags]

Cruella DeVille!

 

[Cupid Stunt]

Goldmember: We are both swingers you see. You have a toight body, I see that from your toight pants, toight like a toiger. Would you like a smoke and a pancake? You know, flapjack & a cigarette, cigar & a waffle, pipe & a crepe, bong & a blitz...
