re: Your most hated character in film

Not a movie per se, but Elmira Johnson from Lonesome Dove is a heartless POS.

Yeah but actor Glenne Headly was a goddess

I think Col. Tavington is the clear number one but Menace nailed the next three perfectly.

As a young kid:
1. Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV"
2. Colonel Bella from "Red Dawn"(1984) - played by Ron O'neal

As an adolescent:
1. Franklin from "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre"
2. Not much of a "character"- the female sniper from the end of "Full Metal Jacket"
3. Carter Burke - played by Paul Reiser in "Aliens"

Add: William Smith, also from "Red Dawn" and "Any Which Way You Can" fighting my hero Clint Eastwood, but most memorably for me from "Rumblefish" as the local cop who has it out for the Motorcycle Boy. However, further reading about William Smith, the guy, he sounds like somebody I would have loved, so of course he always played a despicable character to me.

Final assessment of me: I don't like fascists or communists or whiny pussies in wheelchairs.

Also, not a character exactly, but in the movie Beetlejuice, the entire family/friend group that comes into the house after the Maitlands die (with the exception of Wynona Ryder, of course) can die in a house fire for all I care. That would be Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'hara as the Deetzes, Robert Goulet as Maxie Dean, Dick Cavett as Bernard and Glenn fricking Shaddix as Otho, the most punchable face in cinema, despite sounding like a really great human in real life.

Also, Jeffery Jones was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which reminds me of the most 'hate-able', 'never-seen on screen', character for me, which would be Cameron's father.

Kathy Bates playing Annie in "Misery" and being the psychotically brutal ex-nurse caring for writer Paul Sheldon.

That scene where she breaks both his ankles with the maul still makes my skin crawl.

I'd hate to see what her plans would have been if she was not his "Number One Fan".

She played that role, her first starring role in a feature film, so well that she won an Oscar.

For a kid’s movie, Miss Trunchbull is a great villain.

Pam Ferris was a great Truchbull in the movie, but Emma Thompson was brilliant (as usual) in the newer musical version.

Ramsay and Jeoffrey were the two that came to mind. I wanted Ramsay to die more than Jeoffrey but both were pretty ruthless. Jeoffrey was more shocking given his age and cruelty level.

Any character played by Colm Meaney.

The fact that he had a sense of humor made him harder to hate. He had some good one liners in that movie.

As a kid I hated this motherfricker with the raging heat of a thousand suns.



Matt Dillon as Moody in My Bodyguard.

My hatred for bullies is probably born from this fricker.
