Villains?

I don't know if I'd call him my personal favorite but I believe the most infamous villain in history would be Jack The Ripper. Hitler was a madman, Jack was vilainous!!

I'd have to nominate Little Bill, Gene Hackman's character from the flik UNFORGIVEN. He was brutal and sanctimonious at the same time. Hackman made him amusing too. A really great fictional character.

Jack the Ripper........good one! And he still remains a widely debated mystery man today.

Gary Oldman plays some good ones:
Bad cop in 'Leon the Professional', Sid Vicious, Dracula, Lee Harvey Oswald, Pontius Pilate, the Devil in a Guns N Roses video and recently with Denzel Washington in 'The Book of Eli'.

Why look to fiction when we have dozens of real live ones to choose from

Here is a partial list

#1 Richard Kurklinski - if I gave is A.K.A. you might know him, but probably not

#2 Rasputin - Interesting person

#3 Bernie Madoff - King of all cons

#4 Ed Gein - so infamous 2 different movies were based on his live.. Both movies were different and hits


So folks, let's get real.. It's so much more interesting

and lest we forget our most recent genocidal lunatics.......I am sure to catch flak for this one #1 a great general with a twisted sense...#2 I think he gave hitler ideas...#3 well this crazy sob took serial killing to a whole new level

This Guy is a good one. Doctor;
Racist, yep. Stalinist hard liner, yep. Kill you for listening to Rock & Roll and kill you if you have an alternative lifestyle, Yup! Killed thousands, But it is hard to say exactly how many,, He did not keep score, but he told his father he found he liked killing people. Yea he was a bad dude,, The country he helped "liberate" is still in a depression after he was named finance minister for a few years. That was over 50 years ago.

Che Guevara. Man of the people, lived in lavish style in Cuba, until he decided that he needed more adrenaline, so he left to foment unrest in Argentina and Bolivia. He should have watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Dr. Josef Mengele is another one that a fictional movie was modeled after.. Remember

"The Boys from Brazil"

Behind every fictional character, I am sure the real deal was being researched

Ok- here goes,
Keyser Soze in- The Usual Suspects, Margeret Thatcher in The Eighties, Pol Pot in Cambodia, Hitler in Europe, Bernie Madoff in America, Cromwell and Ray Burke in Ireland, Gengis Khan in too many places to mention. Sir Jimmy Saville. Idi Amin in Uganda. And Donald Trumps hairdresser! Nicolae Ceauscu, Stalin and Lenin deserve a mention. As do Henry The Eight and Lord HawHaw. Gary Glitter was pretty unsavory at the best of times. Jeez- don't get me started lol rory
