A few weeks ago a colleague of mine asked who would I rate as the best movie villains of all time, or if I had ever put any thought toward that. I had not. Yet her question intrigued me so I took my time and analyzed several different characters (based on different criteria) and came up with my top 10...Here it is...(in no particular order)
- Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs).
- Denzel Washington as Det. Alonzo Harris (Training Day).
- Kevin Spacey as John Doe (Se7en).
- Louise Fletcher as nurse Ratched (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest).
- Heath Ledger as The Joker (The Dark Knight).
- Joe Pesci as the hot blooded mob enforcer Nicky Santoro (Casino).
- Kevin Bacon as the pedophile prison guard Sean Nokes (Sleepers).
- Ralph Fiennes as SS Commandant Amon Göth (Schindler’s List).
- Robert Patrick as T-1000 (T2: Judgment Day).
- Bob Gunton as warden Norton (Shawshank Redemption).
Some of the runner ups include: Patrick McGoohan as King Edward the “Longshanks” (Braveheart), Gary Oldman as Det. Norman Stansfield (Léon: The Professional), Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh, the emotionless, compassionless killing machine (No Country for Old Men) and Jack Nicholson as the mob boss Frank Costello (The Departed).
