This is such a hard decision for me, so i am gonna list 2 movies.

*Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone & Al Pacino as Michael Corleone for their roles in The Godfather movies. I love these mobster movies!!

*Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface. Although this is a gory and violent movie, I am hooked on it!!
Deb J. Nov 25, 2009, 11:19am EST
Well, of course, now Johnny Depp WILL be my favorite bad guy in any movie! I would love to win this DVD...especially since Depp has always been one of my favorite actors (he definately has a quirky side to him and likes filming movies about people that do have mental illnesses). I really respect him for that.
Also, who wouldn't want a DVD containing "The Sexiest Guy In the World" according to People Magazine!?
I have heard a lot about Public Enemies and would just love the chance to win this DVD. I couldn't go see it at the movies because we just don't have the funds here at our household right now.
Thanks for even considering me!!!! Deb
D M. Nov 25, 2009, 11:21am EST
My favorite "bad guy" is Johny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean :)
ashley y. Nov 25, 2009, 11:29am EST
Definetly Mr. and Mrs. Smith... and they are both my favorite bad guys... it was a great movie.
Alex In Wonderland Nov 25, 2009, 11:30am EST
Christian Bale in "American Psycho" was insanely crazy (when he wasn't playing a rich, popular socialite married to Reese Witherspoon) and I loved his acting in it! I only have it on VHS (and we don't have a vcr anymore) and now I want to watch it!!!

What a great cast in this movie. I love all three of them!
Jennifer N. Nov 25, 2009, 11:37am EST
Oohhh I want to see this so bad. Why? Erm. It was filmed VERYCLOSE to where we live. Like so close I could have been there to see it filmed (Yanno if they had confirmed it in time to get there, that is) LOL.

My favorite "bad guy" is a bit outside of the box, I suppose, but mine would either be Christopher Walken in Sleepy Hollow or Samara (the little dead girl in the Ring)
Melinda ~choosing happiness~ S. Nov 25, 2009, 11:37am EST
Johnny Depp was a wonderful bad guy in Public Enemies! Much of this movie was filmed right here in Wisconsin and I would love to own a copy!
Jennifer N. Nov 25, 2009, 2:05pm EST
*nods* Three of the locations are within 45 miles of where we live, too.
Amber C. Nov 25, 2009, 11:38am EST
My favorite bad guy is "Mr. Smith" from the Matrix movies. Who is more dangerous than someone who looks like a plain 'ol Joe from the street, but yields the power of the Matrix? It's the ones who seem to fit in that yield the greatest danger.
Jenn P. Nov 25, 2009, 11:39am EST
I loved the movie mr and mrs smith. He was a great bad boy in that one!
April H. Nov 25, 2009, 11:41am EST
Michael Corleone for me!
My favorite bad guy is Jason Isaacs in "The Patriot" as Coronal Tavington. He's just so good as the bastard. And not bad at all on the eyes, and with that accent.... Loooove him in that film. He also wasn't bad at all as Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, similar role- a long haired, lovely accented bastard of a bad guy. -sigh-

Yes, I have a crush.
jenn g. Nov 25, 2009, 11:50am EST
my favorite bad guy would have to be heath ledger as the joker in the dark knight movie. he was awesome
Kim B. Nov 25, 2009, 11:57am EST
Christopher Walken is one of my favorite bad guys. Also, Al Pacino in Scarface.
Lori A Nov 25, 2009, 12:02pm EST
First I have to say that Im Johnny Depps biggest fan . As far as bad guys in film go it would have to be Gary Oldman in Bram Stokers Dracula very sexy lol I know most people are picking from action movies but since Dracula is bad and a man I think he should count .
CyberGwen ! Nov 25, 2009, 12:23pm EST
Freddy Kruger still gives me nightmares and hey, Johnny Depp was in the first Nightmare on Elm Street. (See, I like to tie is all together)
♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. Nov 25, 2009, 12:49pm EST
who’s your favorite “bad guy” in a film?
I like conair and my fav guy is "Cyrus the virus". I cant think of his name..uggh
Christy Dively Nov 25, 2009, 12:54pm EST
My favorite Bad Guy is of course Johnny Depp Playing characters like Sweeney Todd and John Dillinger how can I pick anyone else? Johnny doesn't just play bad guys though he plays odd, eccentric characters like the Mad Hatter in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland. So because he likes to be so different he is the best guy for a bad guy role. He has played many other bad guys but Sweeney and John Dillinger are my favorites. He adds so much to a character you actually find yourself rooting for the bad guy when he plays any in any film. Johnny is truly the best and he shows it in every role he plays.
Laura C. Nov 25, 2009, 1:00pm EST
Johnny Depp in "once upon a tme in Mexico" you're never quite sure if he's bad or good in this movie, I say he's a combo of both...I couldn't stop watching him in this movie..he was amazing!!
d d. Nov 25, 2009, 1:01pm EST
George Clooney in all of the oceans...
Michelle S. Nov 25, 2009, 2:30pm EST

Bryan B. Nov 25, 2009, 1:11pm EST
Jack Nicholson as Col. Jessep in A few good Men. Of course Nicholson always plays a good bad guy in any film to me
Marsha S. Nov 25, 2009, 1:29pm EST
the joker from batman
jennifer b. Nov 25, 2009, 1:51pm EST
My favorite "bad guy" is Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate.
Mary G. Nov 25, 2009, 2:10pm EST
My favorite bad guy is the joker in Batman.
Michelle S. Nov 25, 2009, 2:34pm EST
the taking of pelham123 is a great movie. john travolta is an awesome bad guy in this movie. travolta does an excellent job in his "bad guy" roles. :)
Ashley M. Nov 25, 2009, 3:02pm EST
Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff - they all played bad guys and no matter the bad guy he was always awesomely portrayed. :)
Marianne R. Nov 25, 2009, 4:55pm EST
Hannibal Lecture. He's the best bad guy ever!
M C. Nov 25, 2009, 5:03pm EST
I think Denzel Washington in "Training Day" was my favorite. Great acting start to finish and it got him the Oscar award.
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Nov 25, 2009, 5:42pm EST
Damien, a.k.a. the Anti-christ Harvey Stephens in The Omen,
Angel Eyes Lee Van Cleef in The God The Bad and The Ugly
Vikki M. Nov 25, 2009, 6:30pm EST
My favorite bad guy is Alan Rickman as Snape from the Harry Potter movies and as Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 30, 2009, 11:20pm EST
(But is Snape really a bad guy? LOL)
Vikki M. Nov 30, 2009, 11:24pm EST
To be honest, I never thought of him as bad. Not for a moment in all the books or even movies, but he's got a dark side definitely and I figured that was enough to classify him as bad for the sake of this question. hehe
Crystal R. Nov 25, 2009, 7:05pm EST
My favorite bad guy is Cary Grant in To Catch a Theif.
Micki L. Nov 25, 2009, 7:22pm EST
Oh boy I have a few. John Travolta in Face/Off, Al Pacino in Scarface, Jack Nicholson in the Shining and Willem Defoe. There are just so many bad guys out there.

If I had to chose just one of the 4-John Travolta in face/off
Patti M. Nov 25, 2009, 7:52pm EST
Odd Job in Goldfinger
Patti M. Nov 25, 2009, 7:58pm EST
Sorry, had to come back and pay homage to Heath Ledger as the unforgettable Joker in Batman.
Joanne Vicente Nov 25, 2009, 8:20pm EST
I think the worst bad guy was Tony Montana - Scarface! He made it cool to be a gangster, especially for hispanic immigrants. Miami is a primarily hispanic area, and more of my high school senior students admire that guy than anyone else. I think he's the worst for that reason. They've taken to following the worst possible role model. They often tell me they won't live to be as old as I am because they're choosing the glamour and money that comes with big crime! It's horrifying!
Max Cady from Cape Fear. Cody is a tattooed, cigar-smoking, bible-quoting, psychotic rapist who was released after 14 years in prison and he goes after the DA and his family in one of the best cat and mouse hunts ever.
It don't matter which actor plays this character, Al Pacino or Robert Mitchum, Max Cody is just a scary all around 'bad guy".
T W. Nov 25, 2009, 9:49pm EST
Robert De Niro!
nesha j. Nov 25, 2009, 9:56pm EST
Denzel Washington in Training Day
Joella B. Nov 25, 2009, 10:27pm EST
The Wicked Witch of the West, because no one else has ever had the kind of style she did. Bring on the flying monkeys!
Linda Boster Nov 26, 2009, 12:16am EST
Alan Rickman - hands down. Whether in Die Hard, Robin Hood or Sweeney Todd - this man can really threaten - he is truly my favorite bad guy!!
J G Nov 26, 2009, 12:28am EST
Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus.
Linda T. Nov 26, 2009, 1:33am EST
John Travolta in Face Off would be my choice.
mel smith Nov 26, 2009, 4:39am EST
My fav bad guy is The Joker played by Heath Ledger. My fav bad guy Johnny Depp character is Sweeney Todd.
Teresa W. Nov 26, 2009, 5:14am EST
My favorite bad guy in movies is John Travolta. He's so delightfully evil and enjoys it when he's the bad guy, it's creepy fun to watch him!
Linda J. Nov 26, 2009, 9:44am EST
Jigsaw from the Saw series
Lets not and say we did Nov 26, 2009, 10:30am EST
My favorite Bad Guy? that's a tough one!
I'd have to say the Master from Dr. Who but as far as movies go, and I took over an hour deciding, is Kenneth McMillan as the Baron Harkonnen in the original Dune
Juanita T. Nov 26, 2009, 11:49am EST
Vincent Price was always a good " bad guy".
A W. Nov 26, 2009, 6:29pm EST
Hannibal Lecter!!!
Kat W. Nov 26, 2009, 7:07pm EST
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter hands down.
Loretta E. Nov 27, 2009, 10:39am EST
I have a few so I can't chose just one! My favorite bad guys are Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather movie, Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface, Denzel Washington in Man on Fire, and I would have to add on a TV series James Gandolfini in The Sorpranos!
Jessica B. Nov 27, 2009, 7:51pm EST
Tim Curry as The Devil in Legend. An oldie but a goodie.
Gina Raffa Nov 28, 2009, 9:45am EST
Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd!!!!!!
Michelle C (faithhopelove20) Nov 28, 2009, 7:41pm EST
Heath Ledger as the Joker is the first 'bad guy' that comes to mind who I am morbidly fascinated by. Although, I do love Johnny Depp in just about every role he plays, good or bad guy alike.
I'm not sure if it counts, but when I was young the first movie I remember seeing him in was Cry-Baby and I was hooked! Thinking about it now, I want to rent that so I can see it again from an adult perspective.
Jennifer G. Nov 28, 2009, 8:39pm EST
I'm torn between two.

My first choice is naturally Tyler Durden. He's kind of an "ishy" choice as a "bad guy" because I don't see him as all-bad. Just because he does break a lot of laws, cause a lot of mayhem, and make a lot of messes, at the same time, he does it in order to awaken someone to the reality that matters.

My second choice would have to be Eli from Let the Right One In. She's also a little ishy as a choice, because a) she's a girl, b) she's only 12, and c) she's so... innocent. Kind of. But she's bloodsucking, killing, angry, and also perhaps frightened. She makes for a really interesting villain, especially because in some ways she can be construed as the good guy.
Bonnie F. Nov 28, 2009, 8:57pm EST
I would have to say my fave "bad guy" in a film would be Vin Diesel as Riddick in Pitch Black.
Even though he was a good guy at the same time, he was still a bad guy too:)
(I happen to like the dual bad/good guy roles, I hope it still counts
Anonymous M. Nov 29, 2009, 12:43am EST
I have two favorite bad guys.

The first is Antonio Montana played by Al Pacino in Scarface. Tony Montana is one of the best anti-heroes. You know he's a complete a-hole but you love him anyway.

The second is Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman in Die Hard. He's a bad gentleman. He's clever, nasty, and wears suits when taking hostages.
Matthew G. Nov 30, 2009, 1:54am EST
Al Pacino as Michael Corleone & Tony Montana. - Godfather + Scarface
Heath Ledger as the Joker. - The Dark Knight.
colleen m. Nov 30, 2009, 9:24am EST
Hands down it must be the villain of The Patriot - the green dragoon leader - can't remember the actors name, but burning alocked church full of people takes the cake for me. I heard he was so good in this role, that people who passed the actor on the street would spit at him and such after the movie was released. Now thats a good villain!
Jan S. Nov 30, 2009, 3:30pm EST
He was really evil in that part. I hated him, too. Has he done any films where he is a nice guy? He seems to be a good actor, so I wonder if he is versatile.
colleen m. Nov 30, 2009, 3:38pm EST
I have no idea, but probably not. Yes, he is a very good actor I think. Piercing blue eyes, snooty, and oh so dispicable!
Lune Wolfsong Nov 30, 2009, 11:18am EST
Alan Rickman is my all-time favorite bad guy in film. He's just so good at it, whether stealing the show in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves or Die Hard or keeping us guessing as to his allegiances in the Harry Potter series.
Shirley ♡ ☮ M. Nov 30, 2009, 11:30am EST
Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance in The Shining is my all-time favorite.
Sandre M. Nov 30, 2009, 11:32am EST
For me, favorite bad guy is a tie; Johnny Depp as Benjamin Barker (aka Sweeney Todd) and Alan Rickman as the interogator in "Closet Land". Rickman scared my daughter and I so bad with that one, we've only been able to watch the movie once!
Tara C. Nov 30, 2009, 11:35am EST
Jesse James in American Outlaws. He is too sexy!
ann c. Nov 30, 2009, 11:39am EST
Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind. Not a bad guy in the usual sense, he just portrayed a strong character who "appeared" to be a scoundrel but wasn't.
phil w. Nov 30, 2009, 12:26pm EST
Alan Rickman is a super bad guy , but i like Jason Issacs as Col. William Tavington ,in the Patriot ,and Eli wallach as Tuco and Lee van Cleef as Angel Eyes from The Good ,The Bad ,and the
Ugly .
Jo N. Nov 30, 2009, 12:51pm EST
I would love to watch this movie! Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors.
Favorite bad guys.... I loved the Joker in the Dark Knight, Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs and I know that there are more but I just can't think of them right now.
Trish A. Nov 30, 2009, 1:02pm EST
I'm a fan of George Clooney in the Ocean series. You gotta love the guy even though he is a thief. I also like the character of Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs.

We missed seeing this movie while it was at the theatre so winning a dvd would be wonderful. Maybe I should nudge Santa!
donna f. Nov 30, 2009, 1:03pm EST
Freddie Kruger always made me laugh....so very campy!!!
Would love to win this movie!!
I have a few fav bad guys :
Johnny Depp in Pirates of The Carribean and Sweeny Todd
and of course Heath Ledger as the Joker
and of course Hannibal Lecter !!!
carolyn b. Nov 30, 2009, 1:31pm EST
Heath Ledger in Dark Knight, he did an excellent job in that movie.
Shannon W Nov 30, 2009, 2:44pm EST
Al Pacino in Scarface. I'd never even saw the movie until my girlfriend moved in and now I've seen it dozens of times as it's her favorite movie. He really grows on you!

But of course Johnny Deep reigns in whatever film he is in. I've been a fan since I was a teenager and it's so cool that he's been in the Pirates movies because I can take the kids to see him act. I like that he can make any role, completely his.
April H. Nov 30, 2009, 3:18pm EST
Christopher Walken is one of my favorite bad guys. I loved his personna in True Romance
anne ( way 2 crazy of a life ) c. Nov 30, 2009, 3:22pm EST
i have to go with heath ledger as the joker, he did a awesome job
Jan S. Nov 30, 2009, 3:29pm EST
There are so many, but I'll say Vincent Price. He raised evil to an art form. How shocked I was to see him as a kindly old man who likes to cook.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 30, 2009, 11:18pm EST
Oh, he can be so creepy.
Sharon R. Nov 30, 2009, 4:55pm EST
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector.
Holly K. Nov 30, 2009, 4:56pm EST
My favorite bad guy was Russell Crowe in Virtuosity.
Shaunee C. Nov 30, 2009, 5:40pm EST
Secert Window with Johnny Depp . He was really scary in this movie.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 30, 2009, 11:17pm EST
My favorite bad guy has to be Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance in The Shining and as The Joker in Batman. I will never forget his face when he says, "Here's Johnny...."
James B. Dec 1, 2009, 10:31pm EST
Janet, for whatever reason, those were the two roles of his that I absolutely hated. I'm a fan of pretty much every else Jack has done. I guess he had you in mind when he made those two movies, not me... Best wishes!
Victoria H. Dec 1, 2009, 8:06am EST
I liked Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker in "Dark Knight". He was freaky and creepy and just............well..............BAD!
Phoenix A. Dec 1, 2009, 1:52pm EST
My favorite bad guy in a film is Hannibal Lector.
Kay M. Dec 1, 2009, 3:58pm EST
Jack Nicholson whenever he's a bad guy.
karen h. Dec 1, 2009, 5:06pm EST
Al Pacino , oh!!! yes it has to be Al
Patti B. Dec 1, 2009, 9:19pm EST
John Travolta in Pelham 1-2-3...he was so different from his enjoyable characters that I have seen him do in movies.
James B. Dec 1, 2009, 10:29pm EST
If we consider all of movie history, I'd have to say Orson Welles!
Sophie S. Dec 2, 2009, 12:35pm EST
Definitely Antonio Banderas in Interview With a Vampire, I think it is also his only bad guy role. Hot!
Kelly K. Dec 2, 2009, 1:09pm EST
Hard to choose a favorite, my fave bad guy would have to be Jareth the goblin king(David Bowie) from the Jim Henson movie Labyrinth(one of my favorite movies).
Deborah Sloan Dec 2, 2009, 2:39pm EST
Gary Oldman in Dracula played a fabulous part as a bad guy!
Styletto Magazine Dec 2, 2009, 3:33pm EST
All time favorite bad guy is Jack Nicholson as the joker in the first Batman!!!
Nurse Nancy S. Dec 3, 2009, 2:47am EST
Don Corleone...The Godfather as played by Marlon Brando.
Tina B. Dec 3, 2009, 1:41pm EST
Cyrus "The Virus" in Con Air.
Brittney R. Dec 3, 2009, 2:25pm EST
I don't generally watch action or horror movies....so I would have to say Denzel Washington in John Q. I guess he's "bad" because he's holding a hospital hostage, but of course he tugs at your heartstrings since he's acting as a desperate father.
Anna D. Dec 3, 2009, 4:27pm EST
I just saw Secret Window with Johnny Depp his is a very good bad guy.

I would have to say Heath Ledger as the joker in Batman!
Karen M. Dec 4, 2009, 8:45am EST
Hannibal Lechter is at the top of my bad guy list, but Johnny Depp would be a close second!
Beth G. Dec 4, 2009, 2:06pm EST
My favorite bad guy in a film is Khan Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Darth Vadar from the Star Wars movies would be a close second.
