Everyone is allowed five (5) Seconds and five (5) Thirds every four (4) hours. Everyone has UNLIMITED Seconds and Thirds, but there IS a time limit to how many you can use. Feature movies only.Īnd now, the ground rules for Qualification:ġ. Serial Villains have NOT been considered. Hartman, but since I know there are others who may consider them a Villain, they have been included. Let me just say that I don’t agree with all the names listed, such as Gunnery Sgt. Lastly, some choices will, alas, be considered controversial by the voting body, as a character will be listed you may not consider a Villain. Example: Max Cady is and will only be listed once, and votes should be given on the basis of YOUR favorite portrayal of the Villain (Mitchum or DeNiro). In listing the performer’s names, if the Villain has been played by more than one actor or actress, I usually try to list the “Definitive” portrayal of the Villain as the nom, but in Seconding or Thirding, just consider the version of the Villain whom you prefer. This is a character, NOT performance-based Tournament. There has been no attempt made to include “hordes” of Villains (Martians! Zombies! Germans!) UNLESS there is a notable lead Villain character. There are notable exceptions, like “Ghostface” from Scream (though none of the actors involved have had their characters named), or other Villains whose every motive throughout the film becomes clear when his true identity is revealed (Unbreakable, for instance). I’ve also tried to shy away from so-called “mystery” Villains, otherwise characters who don’t reveal their true nature until the last 20 minutes of the film (whodunits, etc.). In other words, Norman Bates is a no-brainer for instance, but all the low-budget horror films featuring a mother-fixated psycho killer have pretty much been ignored, UNLESS the Villain is played by a notable actor trying something “different” or the film itself is particularly good. In assembling this list, one thing I’ve tried to stay away from is so-called “derivative” Villains, particularly of the low budget ilk. In order to qualify for a competitive spot in the Tournament, they must be Seconded and Thirded. All of the Villains listed below are hereby considered Nominated. Let me start with a few notes about this list… Listed below are over 1000 of the most memorable Movie Villains of all time. Welcome to the Nomination Thread of THE ULTIMATE VILLAINS TOURNAMENT.
