Who do you think its the most evil movie character ever? I would have to go with Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in no country for old men. He scares the crap out of me. He isn't over the top like some evil characters in the slasher movies but almost like a guy that you could run into. :buggedout: I think that is what freaks me out about the character.
Who is your pick? and why?
Satan, because he's, well, Satan. He's been in some movies.

Evil? nah, just misunderstood :teddyr:
I agree with you that I'd rather talk about human characters, especially people who you might conceivably run into on the street, than supernatural demons or super-villains.
I'd certainly rank John Lithgow's character in CLIFFHANGER up there, for sheer ruthless cold-blooded murdering. Especially one particular murder late in the film.
I remember that Kevin Bacon's character in THE RIVER WILD struck me this way, but it's been too long since I saw the film and I can't remember why.
I suppose somebody will mention Heath Ledger's now-legendary Joker, but that doesn't meet my "run into on the street" criteria so he doesn't make my list.
My favorite, The Emperor (Star Wars)
Next, Kalibos (Clash of the Titans)

How do you know you HAVEN'T run into Satan on the street? Hmmm?

Because I'm sitting by my copmputer, that's why he hasn't ran into me.
Oh, no !
I've said too much !

Because he's mythical? :smile:
probably have to say Krug Stillo from 'Last House On The Left' (played by David Hess). If you include the previously banned deleted scenes on the DVD, even more so...
Col. Tavington from THE PATRIOT. When he blows away Mel Gibson's son, curls his lip, and says "Stupid boy!"

That's a good one. I saw this in the theater and when he said that I said, Fuc**** Bas****.. I couldn't help myself. :lookingup:
Alex from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
But I think the most amazingly fun performance by an unabashedly evil character may be Boris Karloff in THE BODY SNATCHER.

The Emperor from Star Wars, Freddy Krueger and oddly...Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter.
Richard Burton's character in 1984 (His farewell role, by the way) is certainly one of the most cold and evil characters I've come across in recent memory. What he does to poor John Hurt is heartbreaking.
Clubber Lang in Rocky III is another cold bastard. I never forgave him for giving Mick his fatal heart attack, and was jumping for joy when Rocky finally kicked his ass.
My favorite comic book movie villain is still General Zod. Simple, but effectively played by Terrance Stamp. I'll never forget when he cried out "You will bow down before me, Jor-El! First you, and then one day, your heirs!"
Evil Genius from Time Bandits.
Ohh.....he's...just..so...evil.....

Clarence Boddiker from RoboCop is one of the most completely evil characters I've ever seen in a movie.
