GROUP THREE
11. DARTH VADER (David Prowse/James Earl Jones) in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (20th Century Fox, 1980)
After watching the first Star Wars trilogy, it was not even a question. Vader was one of the best villains on screen. He built Death Stars, commanded legions of Storm Troopers and had a bad-ass black man voice. If Vader loses this competition, he will have lost for one reason: Anakin Skywalker.
During the new trilogy prequel, we got a glimpse into Darth Vader's badass and evil past. Surely, such a force of nature who kicks ass and talks like a laser-sword wielding black dude would have a past of riding the galaxy, pimping hoes and selling smack.
Not so much. We find Vader was a whiny-ass pussy before coming to the Dark Side. He killed younglings, he whined more than an old Celine Dion album. He tried to lay Padme with lines like, "I don't like sand, it's rough and coarse. Not like you. You're soft and smooth." What the hell, Vader?
Despite his trangressions against villainy during his younger years, we've erased those and went against excommunicating him from this list since he still screwed Natalie Portman.
12. THE SHARK in JAWS (Universal, 1975)
It takes a vile creature to attack maybe one or two wayward surfers, but Jaws managed to take things up to entirely new levels.
Not deterred by technology or angry men, the shark refused to stop trying to eat people. It's one thing when a shark nibbles someone on accident, but a totally different level where it's using argyle-sock wearing chess champion logic to trick people into being shark-food.
13. JACK TORRANCE (Jack Nicholson) in THE SHINING (Warner Bros., 1980)
Jack's the guy who can take a lullabye, turn it around 180 degrees, and make it sound like the twisted, pyschotic ramblings of a killer. Great film.
14. TOM POWERS (James Cagney) in THE PUBLIC ENEMY (Warner Bros., 1931)
Cagney is Tom Powers, childhood hoodlum who grows up to become an adult hoodlum and meets his end as part of a bloody gang war in 1920 Chicago.
15. TONY CAMONTE (Paul Muni) in SCARFACE (United Artists, 1932)
Camonte is the ultimate killing machine. He knows only one law the law of the jungle. He'll rise by any means possible, use anyone it takes, kill anyone who gets in his way. He has only two weaknesses, an obsession that borders on incestuous desires for his sister Ann Dvorak and a kind of affection for his factotum Vince Barnett. That's the kind of affection you have for a pet.
