Somewhere In The Ether…

So many great movie villains to list but special mentions to, Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men, Darth Vadar and The Emperor from Star Wars, Alan Rickman’s gloriously OTT Sheriff Of Nottingham from Robin Hood, Hannibal Lecter and Freddy Krueger.

If you prefer your villains being the strong, silent type then Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers must get an honourable mention.

Limited to Movies? That's a tough choice.

However in terms of fictional villains across all platforms one of the best villains is The Joker. Even the whole hero and villain dynamic of Batman and the Joker is perfection.

It’s apparently customary for any Scottish actor playing a villainous role in a Hollywood, to abandon his proud accent and to instead adopt a plummy posh, Queen’s English tone as American audiences canny understand a word o’it.

Unless that is, you are Sean Connery whereupon you can even play a Scottish accented Russian....
