Coolest. Villians. EVER.

[Elgyn]

I apoligize in advance if there`s already a thread like this, but.....

Who are your favorite movie villians? Mine would be......

-Top Dollar (Michael Wincott) from "The Crow"
Look up "cool" in the dictionary and there`s a picture of this guy.......

-Clarence Boddiker (Kurtwood Smith) from "RoboCop"
Who would`ve thought the dad from "That 70`s Show" could play such a badass, manical villian?

-Bill (David Carradine) from "Kill Bill"
So suave......so smooth.....and yet so deadly! With a voice that`s ALMOST as cool as Wincott`s......

[Hannibal21]

I think some of the coolest villains are the femme fatales of cinema.....manipulative, icy, seductive, and oh so deadly!

Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) in DOUBLE INDEMNITY
Kathie Moffat (Jane Greer) in OUT OF THE PAST
Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) in BASIC INSTINCT
Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) in BATMAN RETURNS
Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner) in BODY HEAT
Bridget Gregory (Linda Fiorentino) in THE LAST SEDUCTION
Elsa Rosalie Bannister (Rita Hayworth) in THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI

DARTH VADER

[Antonio]

A tie for me between two manipulative smooth-talkers: Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and HAL-9000 (voice of Douglas Rain) in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

[rufio]

Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter
Daniel Day Lewis - Bill the butcher

[Raging Bull080]

Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York

[MacReady]

The only one I can think of at the moment is the T-800 from The Terminator.

[bluesbrother965]

Angel Eyes/Sentenza from The Good The Bad And The Ugly is the first one that comes to mind for me.

[thedudeman69]

John Doe
Hannibal Lecter
Tyler Durden
Verbal Kint AKA Keyzer Soze

[mr_gamecube]

I gotta go with Toad from Xmen or Dr. Oc from Spider-Man 2

[Slim_JGE]

Let's see, some cool villians...

James Earl Jones/David Prouse as Darth Vader would probably top my list, but some others would probably be:

David Carradine as Bill in Kill Bill.
Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in the Godfathers.
Daniel Day Lewis as William Cutting (Bill the Butcher) in Gangs of New York.
Nicolas Cage/John Travolta as Caster Troy in Face/Off.
Ving Rhames as Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction.
Michael Madsen as Mr. Blonde (Vic Vega) in Reservoir Dogs.
Patrick McGoohan as King Edward the 1st (Long Shanks) in Braveheart.
Ed Harris as Major Konig in Enemy at the Gates.
Jet Li as Wah Sing Ku in Lethal Weapon 4.
Christopher Lee as Saruman in LOTR.
Gene Hackman as Herod in The Quick and the Dead.
Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Se7en.
John Travolta as Gabriel Shear in Swordfish.

That's all I can think of off hand...

But is he really a villian, per se?

[Metallica4702]

Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
He is the ultimate evil, plays both sides to get what he wants.

Bill from Kill Bill
He had the right amount of cool.
