Fact: these are the four best villains in cinema history

...

meyers is more an unstoppable force than a 'villain', though. Freddy was a cruel asshole, meyers is a stonefaced killing machine

...

>salieri
>villain

blep

But he killed mozart senpai

Don't forget about me.

you forgot the joker

he was pretty good, but I felt he was overdoing it at parts. guess that's sorta his character though. eitherway, it was an excellent performance at least

tribal conqueror

asocial ambitious rogue

supernatural vengeful entity with specific prey and mien

erudite sociopath

seems hard to come up with an exception. These are very good examples, but Im not sure that they are the best. any other assessments?

...

BOOM
this

dare I ask who the guy in the top right is?

...

excuse me shitlord?

the Kurgan from Highlander.

dare you not talk like a fucking retard?

>implying you didnt prove me right by being mean

>implying i'm not just trying to meme with my brerghs

...

>Toecutter
>Not Immortan Joe

The HENCHMAN. All new category. Nice

that was made this decade so its not ok to like it yet

...

I thought I wasn't supposed to like it because it had girls in it.

>Immortan Joe
>Not Tina Turner

Lord Darkness

...

>leaving the best villain out

Boss that betrays the protagonist and thus undermines his ideals

Iconic villainy in film is should be a perfect match of character & actor. Robert Mitchum is perfect in Night of the hunter being a brute, a liar, & a greedy, craven coward.

>faggot kurger
>not Charles Dance from Last Action Hero
Kys birch ass nigga

You forgot one

Actually, BOB is the greatest of all time.

Norman Bates in Hitchcocks Psycho portrayed by Anthony Perkins started the whole nice guy serial killer trend.

Jack Gleeson as Joffrey

Please hold your memes, I'm being sincere. He gave the Spoiled Prince character a legitimate swagger that very few people have been able to pull off.

Friendly reminder that originality is not a factor you should consider when making a "best of all time" argument.

Anything other than quality is irrelevant.

It's not about who did it first, it's about who did it best.

Nurse Ratched in One flew over the cuckoo's nest. She wasn't your typical villain but Mcmurphy wasn't your typical hero.

Dr.Moreau in Island of lost souls is my current favorite all time villain. He's such the evil sadistic mad scientist & he has such a great death scene.

...

>Roy
>Villain

ratched wasn't really a villain when you think about it, she just took her job a little too seriously

Who are some good non-white villains?

hmm, really makes you think

thanks for helping to create a high level of discourse

>Who are some good non-white villains?

is that even allowed anymore? Problematic if you ask me.

...

Max Cady

...

thanks for the (you)

you're completely wrong, she was a sadistic, machiavellian, arch-manipulator who has the death of a person on her hands and the despondency of a countless many others in the black void where her soul should be

i disagree, she is doing her job the way it would have been done in the time period that the novel takes place. a major point of the story is that the psychiatric practices at that point in time were primitive and did more harm than good. also, there's a small detail about how ratched volunteers her time in food kitchens and donates money to people who need it which would, to me at least, mean that she genuinely cares about helping people. I won't dispute that she has control issues, though.

Why in the eternal love of fuck is this not a gif?

...

>monstering little billy
>using electro shock therapy as a form of torture, not treatment
>abusing harding
>forcing mcmurphy to undergo a lobotomy when he clearly didn't need one

she was a perfect villain and totally unjustified in her actions, i don't care how many soup kitchens she worked at.

...

...

Who is this sapling?

50000x better before turning into abomination. I'm sure I don't remember it at all, but when he was fighting the hulk as a regular super-human was badass. Probably would have beat the shit out of captain america and bucky.

Indeed.. I would have loved to see that match!

after talking over a little bit more, i'm remembering more about her character and starting to agree more with you that she used her position and resources as excuses to exercise unnecessary procedures, but i still think that she wasn't entirely evil

Yeah, he easily entered my top ten just from one line
"6 million Jews in this city, and we can gas all of them"

I REALLY like your taste.
>Highlander
>Die Hard
literally patrician OP, you made me proud

Lizzy - Sabotage (2014)

also what do you mean by monstering, genuine question

not gonna mention Mad Xax?

...

I agree with this user. Ratched had her own little benevolent dictatorship going until Mcmurphy came along.
She went from petty with Harding & the cigarettes all the way to mental & emotional abuse triggering Billy's suicide knowing full well his history.
Her perfect defense of "I'm only doing my job." Strikes her villainy home.
In the book Ratched also had huge bosom doubling the torture for the patients.

You need to go watch Highlander, my friend.

Not main villain, but Mark Hamill stole the show.

This character always made me think that Wesley Snipes could probably be a pretty decent Joker.

but can he gamble with sharks?

I'd watch it but I love Snipes in pretty much everything

she was being mean to him.

like a monster. not an actual word

Dumb fatbitch poster

>Not including Darth Vader, Norman Bates, or Nurse Ratched

ah, thanks

...

What was Raimi thinking?

I thought about bringing up Hannibal Lecter but he was too "perfect" a villain in my opinion & that hurts the believability of his character. Jame Gumb was the better villIan.

Nice pic.

Match me Johnny.

>it's an episode where the nicest person IRL on the set gets stuck on the set during shooting and Lynch thinks the funniest way to punish him is by making his face synonymous with nightmares

careful about posting clintons lad
they know your name

What does "best" villain mean? That's so vague

WITNESS ME
I miss when this was a meme

A villain who is so evil and also so likeable I guess

Predator is hardly a villain, same with Batty

Even, Pinhead, he is just doing his thing, it's his nature now, he isn't really acting out of maliciousness or hate. Well, maybe hate.

I need to rewatch this

Also posting an underrated one

I love the Kurgan. What a cool guy.

Candyman is so great, also fantastic in the Final Destination movies.

I am now listening to the Wang Chung counterfeit money track

Cut him some slack, his 5th edition book smelled weird.

This guy was genuinely creepy. He gave off a real "Insane Cult Leader" vibe.

this better?

They're good, but you might be an edgelord

...

My favorite at least from westerns.

That sequence is so amazing. You can't counterfeit money like that anymore so it's really a sign of the times.

kek, that guy was legitimately ill while filming poltergeist 2. He was on a very advanced stage of cancer or some such nonsense.

nice!!! i always loved "For a Few Dollars More" better then "The Good Bad And The Ugly"

The Humungus was basically Bane before Bane existed
