What are your favorite villains from a movie?
(try to avoid adaptations and bios... even though I did include two because of their outstanding performances, but whatevs!)
- Anton Chigurh - No Country for Old Men - Javier Bardem
- Frank - Once Upon a Time in the West - Henry Fonda
- The Wicked Witch of the West - The Wizard of Oz - Margaret Hamilton
- Freddy Krueger - A Nightmare on Elm Street - Robert Englund
- Simon Phoenix - Demolition Man - Wesley Snipes
For a villain to be truely great, they need to be powerful, ruthless, and brilliant. Anton Chigurh came on the screen as the epitome of this. Neither him nor Freddy Kruger would I want to be in a room with. But at least if I can get out of the room, or wake up, I can escape Freddy. Chigurh will always get you, soon or later. Sometimes, I like 'em funny, too. Like Freddy. Or an absolute asshole, like Frank, or Simon. And sometimes I secretly desire them, like the Witch. I was always troubled as a child by that bitch.
