    I was just quoting the movie :) I honestly could probably recite that movie from start to finish. My cousin and I watched it endlessly as kids.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Another vote for Vader but some of my other favorites are...

    Kevin Spacey as the unknown serial killer in Se7en. The "speech" in the car ride with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman was disturbing.

    Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa in Inglorious ****. That interrogation scene was pure evil and one of the best performance I've seen in quite some time.

    Great list....some others to add....

    Christopher Lloyd as Commander Kruge in ST III: Search for Spock

    Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy - esp in Chamber of Secrets - he has such deliciously sinister/condescending dialogue in that one.

    Christopher Walken from The Prophecy.

    Also, any Gary Oldman bad guy. The Professional and Fith Element stand out to me.

    al pacino as "Tony Montana" in Scarface. that's one bad-**** dude.

    You need people like me so you can point your %uckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!
    Too bad this one may never come to Blu-ray.

    I always thought Tim Roth was particularly slimy and evil in Rob Roy.

    I know it made my fillings ache... "Is it safe?" Olivier was so detached, so single minded...

    Three outstanding choices... Hopper was so over-the-top in that flick.

    Roth's Rob Roy role (say that fast five times) was another of those "burst on the scene" performances ala my earlier Fiennes post. Another just occurred to me that at least deserves honorable mention in this thread...

    Edward Norton as Aaron Stampler in Primal Fear.

    Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket would be one of my favorites. Maybe he wasn't the classic bad guy or villain, but he did play the antagonist for the first part of the film.

    Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death, If you haven't seen this movie it's worth it just for the scene where he pushes the woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs. Now that's evil. :biggrin:

    I'll add one more... Robert Mitchum in the original "Cape Fear". Super creepy with pedophiliac tendancies. Just plain bone chilling nasty. As good as the remake was, Mitchum made DeNiro look like a Sunday school teacher.

    My favorite "bad guy" in a western has got to be Henry Fonda in Sergio Leone's 1968 classic "Once Upon A Time In The West". With his piercing blue eyes and lightning-quick gun.

    An extremely cold-blooded and ruthless killer for hire (and bad azz)!

    A role you didn't see Henry Fonda play that often but he definitely did it right in that one.

    One of the greatest westerns of all-time.
