Scar, voiced by Jeremy Irons in The Lion King

He may be a lion. He may be animated, but what a voice! He's a sarcastic, cynical but a deliciously devilish schemer. The "Be Prepared" song was very chilling when he boasts about his desire to kill his brother.

And, of course, someone has to mention Darth Vader. Yeah, everyone knows him, everyone puts him at the top of the list. He seems to be ignored here so far, but there's no doubting that on the list of creepy villains, that breathing when you were all younger did the trick.

If anyone had the chance to see the Funny Games remake (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808279/) last Friday, then you'd know why I'm posting in this thread.

Essentially, because of my pretentiousness/artsy-ness, I'll say that watching this movie makes you the villain as well. But the two kids play their parts pretty well as sociopathic, but polite, deliquints. Their a lot more likable and funny, in my opinion, in the remake than they were in the German original. Whether that took away from the film is kinda debatable, because I felt pretty shitty laughing at a lot of there jokes.

Strangeluv: I just watched Bug last night, based on you saying he has a pretty creepy performance, and... Yeah. Holy crap. I wouldn't give the movie anything over a 60% but his performance was fantastic. Some really, really nice scenes in that film.

Yeah, Bug is based on a play of the same name and Michael Shannon is the original actor in the play. William Friedkin had to fight the studios to let him reprise his role in the film or he wasn't going to direct the movie. I'm glad they gave in and let Shannon play the part because that performance had so much range, lonely and quiet to some hyperactive lunatic.

Off the top of my head, I would add Tom Cruise from Collateral. Even though he's gotten a case of the crazies recently, he still is a good actor and Vincent was fucking psychotic. He seemed invincible in the film at times, especially when he was in the club.

Yeah Vincent was kind of spooky, like it kept shifting from 'this guy is badass' to 'this guy is like this unstoppable psycho' and not sure whether it was Tom Cruise acting crazy or crazy Tom Cruise acting normal occasionally

i wanna add rutger's character from The Hitcher. i dont usually like villains without motives, but ryder is.. really really mean. and calculating.

the way he organizes the whole movie into a showdown between himself and the main character was really well done. i liked it, anyway.
