  Jack Palance, yes, anyone remember him as the evil wizard Simon in Paul Newman's first movie?

  Not yet mentioned: Orson Welles, Harry Lime, primarily, but others. How about Sydney Greenstreet, both Maltese Falcon and Casablanca?

  Anyone see Henry Fonda in the spaghetti western "Once upon a time in the west"?

    He does play slimy, sleazy characters well. Saw him recently in Another Day in Paradise where he turned in a thoroughly repulsive performance(praise) in a thoroughly repulsive movie(not praise).

  These are perennial movie villains, but my top prize goes to Walken, for his role in "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead": "I say buckwheats for all of them!"

  My top prize for female villains goes to Angela Lansbury as the mother from hell in "The Manchurian Candidate". Also, I'd like a special mention for Julia Roberts as the villain in "My Best Friend's Wedding". I usually have to point out the evil things she does to try to stop a wedding, because most people succumb to her charms. By comparison, Al Pacino in "The Devil's Advocate" was quite subtle.

  What's the guy's name that played the leader of the terrorists in one of the Die Hards (II I think)? He was also the bad guy in Quigley Down Under. My memory for names is really beginning to fade, but this guy has always played a most excellent villian.

    Alan Rickman and you're right, he does play villains well.

      Didn't Rickman play an unsavory character in Costner's "Robin Hood"?

        He played the Sheriff of Nottingham and was the highlight of a movie that disappointed me greatly. I've developed a strong dislike of Costner's acting.

          Costner was not charismatic enough for that role; Errol Flynn was; Costner
          should have known better, but his big overambitious ego blinded him. I'm
          not completely anti-Costner, enjoyed him as Elliott Ness in "The Untouchables"; his laid-back acting style fit the Ness part very
          well; the stiff-acting Robert Stack did OK way back when in the TV series.
          Can't speak for the rest of his films as I haven't seen or wanted to see
          them. - AH

    It suddenly hit me the other day how much I despised the slimy, replusive
    creep, Barry Convex (played by Les Carlson) in David Cronenberg's bizarre
    1983 film, "Videodrome". - AH
