Cle’s Quickies – Part 4: Top Ten List Of Evil Movie Characters


Superhero Summer Part Deux

I presume by now that everybody has seen The Dark Knight. Before the movie even came out, people where raving about Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical especially since I thought Jack Nickolson did an excellent job. But Heath Ledger stepped up and told the world “Wait till they get a load of me!” Evil, scary, funny, and dramatic all rolled into one. Is it Oscar worthy? I don’t know? I would have never thought Halle Berry would receive an Oscar for screwing that old white hillbilly in Monster’s Ball……..but I digress. But if it’s not Oscar worthy, can we deem it the best villain performance of all time?

Hmmm….here’s my Top Ten List Of Evil Movie Characters.

10. Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) – A Nightmare On Elm Street. I didn’t want to take up too much of the list with horror movie villains so I just picked two. Freddy Krueger was a beast in this film and had little kids scared to fall asleep for weeks.

9. John Doe (Kevin Spacey) – Se7en. Here is one villain that never gets caught. How ruthless was he? Well in the end Brad Pitt never caught him, but had his wife’s head delivered to him in a box. Ruthless!

8. Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) – The Shining (1980).

I think this one of the best parts Jack has ever played. The look on his face when he peeped through the bathroom door will be etched in my mind forever.

7. Jason Vorhees (Steve Daskewisz) – Friday the 13th

You can’t really be mad at Jason can you? He just came back to take revenge on the girl who, killed his mother. He is the most rootable guy on this list. Those kids knew damn well they should have never visited Crystal Lake, but nooooooo!.

6. Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) – Misery

We all know Kathy Bates isn’t a looker. But mamma always told me you can attract more flies with honey than salt. If he would have been a little bit nicer, she wouldn’t have tortured him the whole movie.

5. Ike Turner (Larry Fishburne) – What’s Love Got To Do With It?

“Sing the song like I wrote it Anna Mae! You couldn’t help but to feel sorry for Tina Turner during that movie. We see why she had those sexy legs……from running from Ike!

4. Regan MacNeil/Satan (Linda Blair) – The Exorcist

And to think this was based on a true story? Imagine how scared people were who saw this in the theaters. Paul Mooney told a tale how he and Richard Pryor were so scared they left the premiere.

3. The Joker (Heath Ledger) – The Dark Knight

I don’t know which would give me more nightmares. Being attacked by his character in the Dark Knight or being attacked by his character in Brokeback Mountian!

2. Norman Bates (Anthony Hopkins) – Psycho

How many of yall started to lock the door to the bathroom after seeing that shower scene?

1. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) – Silence of the Lambs

The promotional photo of Hannibal wearing straps and mask across his face was outright horrific. He was intelligent and could get into your head. Before he literally got into your head to eat your brains! (It’s funny how Hollywood has made the name Hannibal synonymous with a cannibal? We all know the REAL Hannibal was an African warrior who invaded Rome on elephants.)

Honorable Mention: Darth Vader (Star Wars), The Wicked Witch (The Wiz), Joe Pesci (Godfellas)……do you find me funny?

  1. O-

    Great List!

    Here is my list of only 5.

    5) John Lithgow vs. Denzel in Ricochet. Drugged my man and had a hooker with Syphilis ride him ON TAPE! (…”In front of my WIFE dog???”)

    4) Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow. He was just RAW, and who doesn’t like C. Walken aka Bank Tight, Frank White?

    3) Jaws. Ground breaking. More reason many black folks don’t swim.

    2) The Joker. I don’t want to ruin it if you haven’t seen it, but dude was RAW in Dark Knight. Bats should’a dropped him…

    1) The US Government in When the Levies Broke. Heart Breaking.

    Honorable Mentions to:
    Alonzo – Training Day, and Kobe in Shaq’s freestyle video! LOL Kobe how my @55 taste!

  2. I’m surprised you fellas didn’t include Alex Forrest (Glen Close)from Fatal Attraction. Did she not scare you. I went to see this on a date back in 87 and old dude was hiding behind me (playing I think) saying he’d rather deal with Mike Myers.
    Also honorable mention to Peyton Flanders (Rebecca DeMornay) in Hand that Rocks the cradle. Ya’ll know women are not short on crazy. Regan was possessed. These two heffas were just nutty.

    I have to agree with Be’s #1 though… Da Gub’mint!

  3. I feel you L-Boogi, that Glen Close was one scary chick in that movie. Boiling rabbits and wielding knives.

    Be, good one on the federal government, I know people who still have not recovered from that tragedy.

  4. The Government is NUMERO UNO
    Especially if you’re tryina cross the border or survive a natrual disater…but if you’re 1/2 way around the world and the local government don’t want you to come in…you damn near droppin’ food and supplies from 30,000 feet.

    I’m off the soapbox now…..SMDH!

  5. Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men” – i’m thinking no one here has seen that as he could’ve made everyone list

    Cruella Da Vill – 101 Dalmations (animated)

    Captain Hook – Peter Pan

    Darth Vader – how did he not make the top 10???

    Mr. Han – Enter The Dragon
