Greatest Film Performance All Time by a Villain?

[Goat Milk]

off the top of my head heres what comes to mind.

Johnny Depp- Sweeny Todd
Heath Ledger- Dark Knight
Dinero- Cape Fear
Hopkins- Hannible
Pacino- Scarface
Javier Bardem- No country for old men

Dinero in cape fear was very good as well as Hopkins, however when i saw Scarface as a potential villain i got confused.....i could have swore he was the good guy...

think he could probably be classified as either like a tragic hero or villain. don't know just threw his name in there cuz of the nature of the movie.

Denzel- Training Day.

[2daBank]

Spacey- Usual Suspects....not sure if he was a villain as i lean toward liking the bad guy....

[shari91]

Kathy Bates in Misery. That chick freaked me the hell out, especially that scene where she clubbed the guy's leg while he was chained to the bed. Crazy bitch.

Jack- The Shining

[Goat Milk]

Brad Pitt- Fight Club

Javier in No Country Classic Character, All-Time great Movie..

Definitely one of my favorites along with Dinero in Cape Fear. But wait a second... they were the "bad guys"?

Here's another favorite "Villian" of mine:

NOT heath ledger.....the only reason i think people give the performance so much praise is A: he died and B: its batman...... not ground breaking acting by any stretch of imagination....

[dinaro7]

ledger as the joker bar none

you can't be serious...?

I love Ledger as the Joker. Also a big fan of Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds.

im not a sympathetic type guy and honestly could care less that he died, but he was very good as the joker.......

[Goat Milk]

i think the Dark Knight was defnitely a lot harder to watch when Ledger wasn't on the screen. Johnny Depp as the riddler for the next one wolul d be sick.

Ledger.
