More likable, not sympathetic.


has to be a fine line between those 2 words. I think everyone is sympathetic to a guy who just got arse raped.

maybe a little revenge for someone murdering her sister.


how is a house throw by a tornado an act of murder?

what exactly did she do in the movie that was so evil besides "act" evil


her underlings where all pretty happy when she died, she must have treated them like shite

Was Clive Owen the bad guy in Inside Man? Or was it the banker? If it's Owen, it's got to be the bank robber that hurts no one and steals nothing (except from the Nazi sympathizer).

I never said her sister was murdered. But it isn't a stretch to say that she was owed the shoes more than Dorothy.

So, she was bitch to work for. Doesn't make her evil. Just give her the damn shoes!

I'm not sure if he qualifies as villain or anti-hero, but he's getting my vote.

I know exactly what to do with him.

Also how can Buffalo Bill be mention and not Lector? Hannibal Lector takes the cake for me.


Buffalo Bill was a joke...I hope. Hannibal Lector was sympathetic to Starling only. He still killed ate/killed some people in the movie to escape and to stop Migs, so not very sympathetic.

Buffalo Bill was a joke. He is one of the least sympathetic villains I can think of.
