We're the very best at being...

old_corbie posted the other day with a list of her top 10 bad guys. In moments between workhell, I've been pondering this quest for the ultimate Bad Guy. But I think I need more input. Plus, I'm in pain and bored, and need distraction.

So...

I can only vote for one? Pah, have a top ten, in no particular order:

Sephiroth
Gabriel - Prophecy (Christopher Walken)
The Devil - End of Days (Gabriel Byrne)
Satan - Paradise Lost
Kaiser Soze
Agent Smith - Matrix
The White Witch (Tilda Swinton)
Dracula (Gary Oldman)
Hans Gruber - Die Hard (Alan Rickman)
The Sherriff of Nottingham - Robin Hood (Alan Rickman)

Mr Rickman's a very popular choice...

There may have to be a second round here. Bad guy deathmatch. :)

Yeah. Can I treat 'Alan Rickman' as a single choice, and add Jubal Earley (Firefly, 'Objects in Space') too?

[madwitch.livejournal.com]

Alan Rickman deserves to be a single choice.

I'm failing to narrow my list down below 15...

Rickman was great, and i'd go for 'best' bad guy, but the chap from Kiss of the Dragon is still the worlds most evil man - you start off with 'corrupt French policeman' and go downhill a LONG way from there!

Tell you what, take all the popular suggestions, pair them off randomly, have people pick a winner for each and slowly narrow it down to a single Bad Guy of Bad Guys.

Bad Guy Deathmatch. With some extra thrown in just because.

Is a plan...:)

I considered Earley, but I couldn't remember his name.
