Who are the most memorable nasty evil b*****s in movies?

[ForeverTaskmaster]

I recently saw Thursday. I had never seen the movie before and I was like :"Geez, that Paulina Porizkova is one nasty b***h in that movie." So then I wondered if I knew some more evil b***h characters in movies I have seen. I couldn't think of many. Charlize Theron was one in Reindeer Games, but she was nowhere near a bitch like Paulina. Do you people know some more memorable nasty evil b*****s in movies?

Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Angela Lansbury in the original Manchurian Candidate are the gold standard.

I heard some bad things about that movie...


How was it?

[Ontir]

Renee Soutendijk's "Christine Halsslag" in the 4th Man (the original, better version of "Basic "Instinct")

"Cruella De Vil" Live or animated, she's relentless!

Whether played by Catherine Deneuve, Glenn Close, Annette Benning or, in an updated form, Sara Michelle Gellar, Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil certainly qualifies!

The Devil Wears Prada. I was forced to watch this with my wife, and I spent the entire movie wishing Meryl Streep gets thrown under a bus. God, what an awful movie.

It was much better than I expected. In fact, I wonder how it was possible that I didn't see the movie earlier. You do have to like black humor and the violence, though, I think. If you approach this movie as a serious movie it might disgust you quite a bit.

What bad things did you hear?

I'm still trying to make sense of the spotty--and, really, is it even necessary?--censorship of "bitch" throughout the first post. :biggrin:

I'll 2nd Cruella. She wants to take a pile of puppies and make a huge fur coat out of them! That's pretty damn evil right there.

[Motormouse]

Mrs Carmondy from THE MIST. She was such a bitch that every single person that i know who has seen it actually cheered when she got it!

Mrs Carmondy from THE MIST. She was such a bitch that every single person that i know who has seen it actually cheered when she got it!Seconded. There's also Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions. And last but certainly not least, the legendary Annie Wilkes from Misery played none other than Kathy Bates.

[frankiedetroit]

Polly Holliday as the mean old lady in Gremlins was pretty bad.

[FroFroYo]

Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Angela Lansbury in the original Manchurian Candidate are the gold standard.




I second Louise Fletcher. And I loved her in it. :smile:

[Ontir]

Seconded. There's also Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions.

I included her with the other versions played by Deneuve, Close and Benning.

So tell me, which words should be censored and which not? :-)

Mostly Ebert's rant.

None of 'em? You asterisked most uses of "bitch" in your post, but one. I just can't figure out why you'd type "b***h" or "b****" at all, here, where occasional cursing seems perfectly acceptable. It's "bitch", hardly one of the Seven Words You Can't Say On Radio Or TV!

...even if basic cable channels STILL tend to get censored versions of recent films that even remove "bitch" or "goddamn"

Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction.

Glenn Close, Fatal Attraction.

Let's face it, Glenn Close in damn near everything but the World According to Garp!

I'm good with that.

[Ontir]

Have you been watching Damages?
Really good show and Close is amazing.

I think I saw that. All I remember is her having Tom Jane tied to chair and is planning to kill him. She screws him against his will (well, kinda, I guess) and gloats so that he'll know he was unfaithful to his wife before he dies. That was was some evil bitch action, I'll grant you. But not as bad as Marisa Tomei's character in Anger Managment. The worst part there was she's actually not suppossed to be interpreted that way.

[Kirayoshi]

Angelica Huston in Ever After. The most evil of all Evil Stepmothers ever. "How can one love a pebble in one's shoe?"

Well, that's the last person you should listen to or read critiques from. :-)

Well, not censoring will make my life a lot easier. :-)
And yeah, I forgot to censor one bitch. What a bitch. :-)

Man, that sounds like the BBC. :-)

I think that was the worst scene in any film I've ever seen. I hated that whole movie.

And I watched this atrocity from beginning to end. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUHSCNMH4wE)

Memorable nasty evil b****? I'll say Maria from the Sound of Music. Home-wrecker!
