or Mark Hamil...voice of the joker in mask of phantasm.IMPORTANT!
If your favorite movie villain is a character who has been portrayed by different actors in different movies, please specify the movie your nominee played in. For example:
Nominee: The Joker
Batman (1989) - Jack Nicholson
The Dark Knight (2008) - Heath Ledger
Suicide Squad (2016) - Jared Leto
LOL!or Mark Hamil...voice of the joker in mask of phantasm.
Can't compare that and Gollum to live actors that only have their acting skills to rely on to transfer loathing to the audience.Thanos was portrayed by an actor. There's just a lot of CGI added to him.
It isn't "Best Actor to Play a Villain" though. It's simply "Best Villain".Can't compare that and Gollum to live actors that only have their acting skills to rely on to transfer loathing to the audience.
There are actors that have created careers off that one ability, Jack Palance as Cherry Wilson, Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber, Rutger Hauer as Wulfgar in Nighthawks. Actors that really showed some panache and so effective was Jack Palance that he couldn't go out to bars and restaurants without people wanting to fight him and he's a 6'5" menacing looking guy.
Thanos, Vader, Gollum belong in a different competition.
exactly.It isn't "Best Actor to Play a Villain" though. It's simply "Best Villain".
OK, I'll catch the next one.It isn't "Best Actor to Play a Villain" though. It's simply "Best Villain".

Feel Free to list your favorites according to your own criteria. I'm sure many will make the final list.OK, I'll catch the next one.
Unless said character is anthropomorphized, like Scar.https://cowboyszone.com/threads/best-all-time-movie-villains.436515/
i actually started an Best Movie Villain list thread here awhile back.
Maybe some entry lists and opinions have changed (see above link)
and i am one of those that agree Jaws should not viewed or confused with being a "villain" movie.
Sharks, Alligators ,The Birds, Spiders, Pirahnas, Bats, beavers, Rats, octopus, Grizzlies, killer whales, Bees, etc.
- Any thing listed under Animals, Mammals, Insects, Plants, ...those are Creature- Feature sub genere movies.
I already have movie franchises on the table. Another idea is similar movie match-ups. For examples.....Armageddon vs Deep Impact and White House Down vs Olympus Has Fallen, etc etc. I am not sure how to seed after the first round though as it will turn into just a movie vs another but I love the idea.
We could do best movie monsters/creatures.
Songs by decades.
Favorite vehicles.
I do not like four brackets separated by genres/decades/whatever. I think it should be 1 vs 32, 2 vs 31 all the way to 16 vs 16. That way we could get true results and upsets.
