Gambit Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Ok. I haven't seen the Dark Knight yet and those who do pronounce Ledger as the greatest, please no spoilers! For me, two stand out. Gabbar from Sholay and Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men Neither of them have a shred of decency or goodness in them. Both are remorseless and immoral killing machines. Gabbar, however, is 0.0000000000000001% more human than Anton, who is simply bone chillingly evil.
Gambit Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Go watch Dark Knight. And? However great Ledger was, there is simply no way he can top Anton Chigurh.
The Outsider Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Shakaal(Shaan), Mogambo(Mr. India), Langda Tyagi(Omkara) are some others which come to mind in Bollywood.
satishg Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Heath Ledger was just awesome. I know Anton was great in that role with no heart no emotions but Heath woah mindblowing..go see it to know it..
Predator_05 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Good call on Hannibal Lecter. What a legend. A few others; Alonzo Harris (Training Day) Max Cady (Cape Fear) Commodus (Gladiator) Jack Torrance (The Shining) Goldfinger (Goldfinger) and this guy needs no introduction;
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Amon Goeth (Schindlers List) Max Baer (Cinderella Man) Joker (The Dark Knight) Frank Costello (The Departed)
THX_1138 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Amon Goeth (Schindlers List) Max Baer (Cinderella Man) Joker (The Dark Knight) Frank Costello (The Departed) Yeah! Nah...
Gambit Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Amon Goeth (Schindlers List) Max Baer (Cinderella Man) Joker (The Dark Knight) Frank Costello (The Departed) Really? Goeth is a good choice though. Another one would be the bad guy from Pan's Labyrinth.
suraj Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Really? Goeth is a good choice though. Another one would be the bad guy from Pan's Labyrinth. I agree that no.2 and 4 are not really exceptional villians at all
Kumar Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I personally think the greatest villian of all time in western movies is Anthony hopkins in the movie silence of the lambs. Greatest hero would be easily Atticus in To kill a mckingbird or indiana jones.
kumble_rocks Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Gabbar from Sholay tops my list followed by Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the lambs and Robert De Niro as Al Capone in Untouchables .
