+--- Thread: Best Movie Villian (/showthread.php?tid=10350)
- GonzoStyle - 06-10-2005
I was discussing gangs of new york with a couple people and how basically the saving grace of the film was Lewis performance as Bill The Butcher. I believe that Daniel Day-Lewis gave one of the greatest performances in movie history and created one of the best villians ever. So the discussion evolved into other great villians, I came up with my top 20. I excluded any animals like the shark in jaws or machines like Hal from 2001, though they rank up there. Also I excluded any horror/slasher film characters cause they'd take up too much of the list cause you have to mention them since they are true villians. You can include anyone you want though. I wanted to keep it more at a dramatic performance of a villian. I made one exception though and that was with Darth Vader, though there really is no acting on his part especially with the mask and suit, the mere presence and storyline make him so amazing.
