Frank Booth.
Richard Boone and Hugh O’Brien in “The Shootist” starring John Wayne...
His last movie...
So many excellent ones but if I had to choose just one I’d go with Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
Scary Bad in almost every film he did... Vincent Price
Yes, that’s the winner.
James Cagney in White Heat.
Today, there aren't any even "good" actors and actresses.
Michael Biehn’s Johnny Ringo from 1993’s Tombstone.
“I want your blood. And I want your souls. And I want them both right now!”
Was there ever a better movie name than “Cool Hand Luke”? Best title ever!
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.
Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. (He was a bad guy who was kind of a good guy. Gene Hackman was the good guy who was a bad guy. Great movie.)
I searched “bardem” to see if anyone had beat me to that villain, and it didn’t show up. I guess I should have used his characters’s name. Duh.
“Valence was one mean dude.” — Indeed! Marvin did a superb job in that role! Especially played against the greenhorn lawyer Ranse Stoddard (Jimmie Stewart) and the rough hombre Tom Doniphon (John Wayne). I LOVE the part where Stoddard is teaching a civics lesson to the illiterate townspeople and school kids — every time I see that scene, it brings home how much we’ve lost as a country.
That’s “Hedley”
Thanks for the thread tonight! I just added about 25 films to my Netflix DVD queue. So many of these are on DVD or Blu-Ray only, not in any streaming library. There were five or so that even Netflix doesn’t have or used to have but have taken out of the library.
“Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.”
That was my choice too-——absolutely terrifying. “What time do you close?”.
.
Does TV count? J.R. Ewing, hands down.
Has to be Hannibal Lecter
Absolutely right - Lee Van Cleef in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is my winner: When Im paid, I always see the job through.
