Which actor do you think has the greatest movie villains?

Which actor do you think has the greatest movie villains?

Well since you started the poll, why don't you answer it first?

[Chiasm]

Your question is a bit confusing - do you mean which played the best villians or which has had the best villians in movies against them. Your question makes me think the former but your poll makes me think the latter.

If its the latter than the answer is Other and is Keanu Reeves.

Grim Reaper - Bill and Teds Bogus Journey
Bohdi (Patrick Swayze) - Point Break
Dracula (Gary Oldman) - Dracula
Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper) - Speed
The Devil (Al Pacino) - The Devil's Advocate
Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) - The Three Matrix Movies (*Keanu wins on this alone)
The Devil and Angel Gabriel (Peter Stormare and Tilda Swinton) - Constantine

Harrison Ford's rogues gallery pimp slaps the rest in terms of lasting impact.

Harrison Ford


Darth Vader
Nazis

I voted for Arnold. I think he has a pretty good rogues gallery.

[nervmeister]

Mel Gibson also deserves a nod here. His rogues run the gambit from medieval kings to post-apocalyptic freaks, almost all of which are memorable to this day.

Viggo Mortenson had Gabriel in Prophecy(admittedly they were both villains but they were at cross purposes), Sauron, Saruman, the Ringwraiths, the Balrog and the Mouth of Sauron(from the extended version) in Lord of the Rings, Norman Bates in the 1998 remake of Psycho and William Hurt in A History of Violence.

Yeah, VM does has some pretty good movie villains. I liked the movie he did about the horse race in Saudia Arabia, I can't recall the name though.

Hidalgo. IIRC correctly, the director of that is helming the Captain America movie.

I always liked Errol Flynn's villains (okay, it was always Basil Rathbone as the bad guy, but he was awesome every time!).

Christian Bale's had some good ones. Dragons, Hugh Jackman, Ra's al Ghul, the Joker, Terminators. He may not be number #1 yet, but he's steadily racking them up.

[marshal99]

Michael Biehn - terminator , aliens & zombies.

Lance Henriksen - terminator , aliens , pumpkinhead , pinhead & the cenobites , bigfoot etc. :wink:

[Tobias March]

Christopher Lee. In drag. In the Return of Captain Invincible.

[ultramandingo]

Haruo Nakajima vs. Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah, Gigan, MechaGodzilla and King freeking Kong - beat that

Bruce Willis for Die Hard alone (though yes, the most obviosu answer to the poll is Harrison Ford). Alan Rickman's Hans Groeber is unquestionably one of the coolest - and funniest - movie villains ever.

[Jared]

Michael Biehn probably wins out in the category of actors who aren't major stars.

Not too sure of it actually, but I went with Arnold. He usually outshines and overpowers his on-screen enemies. When you see him getting convincingly smacked around by the Predator or T-1000, you know you're dealing with a major league bad guy. Hell, the Predator was so popular he (well, his kinsmen) got his own sequels and spinoffs. However, even a total chump like Bennet from Commando managed to be memorable...for looking like a paunchy Freddie Mercury in a choker if nothing else. Plus, Thulsa Doom is the second greatest villain ever portrayed by James Earl Jones.

I don't count Darth Vader as Han Solo's enemy. That'd be Jabba the Hutt or perhaps Boba Fett.

Chiasm makes a good case for Keanu Reeves, actually. He's 2-0 against the Devil. Max Von Sydow is jealous.

[Greg Anderson]

Damn, Keanu does have some awesome antagonists, when you think about it.

In Constantine, the devil, Gabriel the angel, and Hell's emissary Balthazar. Matrix, Agent Smith(s), Devil's Advovate he also went against his pops who was the devil.

But I'mma vote other for Johnny Depp. Headless Horseman, Davy Jones, Captain Sao Feng, Barbossa, Lord Beckett, Jack The Ripper, Judge Turpin, Freddy Kruger, himself, etc.
