Yes that scene on the mountain side was like a Tragic ballet unfolding with the movie main Music theme accompanied by a Scottish Fidle Jig.Film Making at its best.The end of the hatefull Magwa (Wess Studi) with his death being suitably horrific at the hands of Chingakchook.Originally Posted by Hickok

Classic putting down the villain.
I first noticed Bruce Dern in the Sci-Fi movie "Silent Running" and loved it. After that he more or less turned to the Dark Side in his characters
Another villain with a distinct lack of redeeming traits, was Willem Dafoe as Bobby Peru in "Wild at Heart"
Cap'n Morgan
Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role of the movie "Lincoln". But like all good villains in the movies, The Rapist of the Constitution gets killed in the end.
Of course, in this case, "best" villain means the one you are hoping will die.

Bernie Kopell as Siegfried in Get Smart.
Plus 1! I love Get Smart, every character was great. Wish they made TV that good now.
I think he was such a good actor, you never thought about who he was or might have played before. I'm sorry we lost him.
Mal
Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
Kevin Spacey in "Se7en"
There is plenty of good ones, but the 1973 film "Emperor of the North" always stuck with me.

R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in "Full Metal Jacket" and Robert Duval (another actor versatile enough to play the warm-heart and likeable) as Colonel Kilgore in "Apocalypse Now". I always thought "Full Metal Jacket" was a bit of a cop-out. I believe they meant it as the sort of recruit training that produces atrocity in war, but market forces led them into a ending in which, whatever else goes wrong, no atrocity of war takes place.
Lawrence Tierney in the 1947 "Born to Kill", also in as Joe Cabot in "Reservoir Dogs" and as Cyrus Redblock in the Star Trek next generation holodeck episode "the Big Goodbye".
Shack was one mean SOB.There is plenty of good ones, but the 1973 film "Emperor of the North" always stuck with me.

The enemy of good is better.
Left one off my list Thuls of Doom from the original Conan the Barbarian. .." Now I will teach them why they are afraid of the dark, they will swim in rivers of their own blood and remember why they fear the night." And he could turn into a snake at will.
My favorite role for Ernest Borgnine was of course, Quinton McHale. But, he also did a darn good bad character (Donnegan) in "Vera Cruz".
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms *shall not be infringed*.

During the Great depression my Dad was given Free passage on the Empress of France to Canada along with many young hopefuls looking for work.The fact is that there was little or no Jobs there since it was a World Wide problem.He rode the Rails and was Chased off by Railroad Bulls many times.He would tell me of the near starving conditions,even to the extent of going into Chinese Restaurants and running out without paying.He eventualy managed to get work on a Cargo Boat and work his way back to Liverpool.The Photo of Ernest Borgnine portraying a Bull brought back memories of my late Fathers tales of his ordeals in those troubled times.I often wonder if his early life in fact contributed to his early death at the age of 46 having survived WW2 in the African campaigns.There is plenty of good ones, but the 1973 film "Emperor of the North" always stuck with me.

Danny Gluver as Col. ...? And ?? As the Senator in Shooter.
Sorry about the ??, I'm having a blonde senior moment.
Add: I remembered that Ned Beaty was the jerky senator.

My wife introduced me to a new term the other day -- Male Pattern Blindness (MPB).
It's when we are trying to find something and look at where it is located, but can't find it and then the woman comes by and points out that it is right there in front of our face.
Slightly different than Alzheimer's...
That was funny NV'59!
Only it was the opposite with my ex. She couldn't find the ground if she fell.

Alan Arkin with Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark" 1967.
I always thought Jack Palance as a bad guy was awfully good. You NEVER cried when he died playing the bad guy. Just can't think of what movie that was?
