(this was in random order....) any questions or comments, I am gald to hear, always, thx
That short guy in many western flicks - he always wore black. Forgot his name...
Alan Rickman both in the original "Die Hard" and as "Rasputin" in the HBO film.
Peter Lorre in "M", a German film directed by Fritz Lang. Lorre played a child murderer hunter by the police and the underworld. Talk about creepy...
Rutger Hauer as the hitchhiker in "The Hitcher."
Speaking of Hauer, he was terrific as the lead replicant in "Blade Runner". The scene where he fights on the roof in the rain with Harrison Ford made the movie...
I don't know if the lady villians are getting their just due:
Anne Baxter in "All About Eve"
Kim Novak in "Vertigo"
Ann Blythe in "Mildred Pierce"
Gene Tierney in "Leave Her to Heaven"
Bella Darvi in "The Egyptian" (the epitome of the femme fetale in ancient Egypt)
and speaking of Egypt:
Joan Collins in "Land of the Pharoahs"
(and, oh, does she get her just desserts)
Can't forget:
Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane"
and I'm sure ya'll can come up with a lot more.
I suppose I can nominate Anne Bancroft in "The Graduate".
Gene Tierney in "Leave Her to Heaven" is a truly classic acting turn, LW. I totally agree. Barbara Stanwyck had some heavy roles, too, but, for some reason I can't think of a single standout.
"Double Indemnity"
"The Strange Loves of Martha Ivers" (what an ending!)
"Walk on the Wild Side"
James Woods in "The Onion Field" was the first one to completely creep me out. Sitting there in the back seat: "Can you smell the onions?"
<brrrrrr>
I pick Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven as the most cruel
And nominate:
Judith Anderson in Rebecca.
Bette Davis (the bad twin) in Dead Ringer
Did anyone mention Louise Fletcher in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
The scene in the boat where Tierney is looking on as the boy drowns is one of the most blood curdling in all of cinema.
malkovich was also pretty darn creepy in In the Line of Fire...
Kevin Spacey as Keyser Soze

No man, It ain't white boy day.
Yes, and hats off to the entire villainous cast of "The Usual Suspects."
I also nominate Orson Welles as the Nazi war criminal hiding in an average American small town in "The Stranger" and as the police chief in "Touch of Evil." "He was some kind of man."
