Entertaining Movie Bad Guys
Some bad guys in the movies are just plain fun to watch, even though what they're doing is wrong.
My vote for #1 would be Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, in Con Air.
My vote for #2 would be "Curly" Bill Brocius, in Tombstone.
Who do you like?

Bill the Butcher, as played by Daniel Day Lewis, in the Martin Scorsese film Gangs of New York. Impeccable.

Not a guy, but Sharon Stone's character Catherine Trammell in Basic Instinct stands out.
Second place: Joe Pesci in Goodfellas and Casino.

Since several of you have now brought up classic Westerns, I feel compelled to add Henry Fonda in "Once upon a time in the West"; just because he played such a cool evil guy after a long acting career of never playing a really bad person.

Good post, Absalom! How could I have forgotten this one? If you read any reprise of Fonda's career, this portrayal (Frank) is always cited as being noteworthy.

Darth Vadar
Jack Warden in "Used Cars"
Eli Wallach in "The Magnificent Seven"
Peter O'Toole in "Night of the Generals"
I think one of the things I don't like about modern movies is they develop the bad guy character too much. It's like they want to make you feel hate for a fictional character. I resent that.

Robert Mitchum as Max Cady in Cape Fear. Robert De niro was also great in the remake.
I liked Gary Oldman as Drexel in True Romance.
Blue Duck in Lonesome Dove
Alan Rickman has been a good badguy in several movies such as Die Hard and Quigley Down Under.

Curly Bill and Bill the Butcher are great choices since they were probably fun to hang around with when they weren't killing people. I liked Brad Pitt as Jesse James and Javier Berdem as Anton Chigurh because when they weren't killing people they took great joy in intimidation and making people squirm with their head trips. I like Bardem so much I had the same stupid haircut when I was fourteen!

I like all of the older ones.
Lately it would be Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.

The first one comes to mind....
Richard Boone in 'Hombre'
Ricardo Montleban as 'Khan' in Star Trek

Dwight Yokum as Doyle in "Slingblade"
Dennis Hopper in about anything
Malcolm McDowell as Alex in "Clockwork Orange'
Jack Palance as Jack Wilson in 'Shane'
John Vernon as Dean Wormer in "Animal House"
Lee Van Cleef as 'Angel Eyes' in The Good The Bad and The Ugly
(greatest bandit, Eli Wallach)
Count Orlok in "Nosferatu" (not much to say, but scary as hell)
Wallace Shawn as 'Vizzini' in "The Princess Bride"
Steve Buscemi as Carl Showalter in "Fargo" (he was kinda funny lookin)

I can't help but wonder how MANY, MANY times you watched Sharon in that movie before it came to you she played a "bad" character.

For some reason, I always remember James Coburn in Payback.
Also enjoyed Lee Marvin in the western 7 Men From Now.

I almost forgot "Little Bill" of Big Whiskey, WY.... Gene Hackman in "Unforgiven". He was a mite harsh on English Bob for sure.
William Muny, in the same movie was no easy cheese either, when it comes to it; "reckon I've killed everything that walks or crawls".

Hey, this was awesome! I LOL'd out loud remembering some of these.
