Had to Google. Apparently, I'd have to actually watch Happy Gilmore to know who that character is, right? Pass.

Was never the antagonist.


Hans Gruber is the winner here.

(Prowse/Jones) Darth Vader and (Hopkins) Hannibal Lector are going to garner much of the consensus vote here, for good reasons. Ditto for Margaret Hamilton's turn as the WWOTW.

Some great villains (and let's face it, a great villain can make a movie, just as a weak villain can really undermine a movie)

Maybe some underrated ones:

HAL 9000 in 2001

Roy Batty in Bladerunner

Judge Smails in Caddyshack (ETA: I see someone else likes him, too, upon reread)

Khan in The Wrath of Khan (not really underrated, but one of my favorites)

Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny

Another good choice.

I also agree with Hans Gruber

Another one:

Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (Gary Oldman) from Fifth Element

Big Trouble In Little China



One of the most underrated movies of all time imo

John Doe (Kevin Spacey) in Se7en because he won in the end. Plus, it says a lot that SPacey was only on film for what? About ten minutes out of the movie?

In no particular order:

Darth Vader (Empire Strikes Back)
Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs)
The Joker (The Dark Knight)
Amon Goeth (Schindler's List)
Norman Bates (Psycho)
Hans Gruber (Die Hard)



Great list. I would have to say a couple others on here make the list as well (Spacey, HAL, Anton, etc)
