THE PREDATOR in Predator
Now it's one thing to come to Earth to conquer it or make us all surrogate mothers. At least at that point we're having our lives screwed over for a functional purpose. This all goes to sh*t though when advanced as hell aliens come to Earth just so their teenaged kids can have a warrior's right of passage. How? Killing humans, of course.
Being natural assholes by their alien nature, every Predator takes this spot on the list. We'll reserve the special deputy Gold-Star villain spot for the predator that fought with Arnold Shwarzenegger, just because he pulled the classic "I"m defeated so I'm blowing up everything" move.
THE WARDEN in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
I am amazed as to why it took me so long to see this movie. It is every bit as good as people say it is. The warden makes the devil look like a nice guy.
It is said that every good story needs a villain, and in the Bible-quoting, Bible-thumping, massively hypocritical, sadistic Warden Samuel Norton, played perfectly by Bob Gunton, we have a doozy. I want to tell you that Norton is so evil that fundamentalist Christians actually hate this movie because of how precisely his vile character is revealed.
TEASLE (Brian Dennehy) in FIRST BLOOD
Brian Dennehy's best performance of his career. He did not overplay his character and was not one-dimensional. One of the most underrated action movies ever.
GUNNEERY SEARGEANT HARTMAN (R Lee Emery) in FULL METAL JACKET
R. Lee Emery is viciously delightful as the manic Sergeant Hartman, while managing to add occasional touches of humanity and a `this is for your own good' attitude through subtle gestures.
CHRISTOPHER WALKEN in KINGS OF NEW YORK
Christopher Walken is the most naturally spooky man on the planet. He could show up in a movie playing the damn Elf of Rainbow Buttery Happiness Christmas and still scare the sh*t out of kids. He doesn't even need a movie role listed, he just makes the list as is.
