G.O.A.T: Villains Edition

JC Conners is underrated.

FALSE. Two Japanese Snipers and a Mexican soldier beat Dern to the deed. .

I've not seen any of those movies that preceded The Cowboys. Of course, I knew Wayne had died in other movies... but as far as I know, Dern was the first point-your-finger-at-him-yeah-that's-the-guy to put The Duke six feet under.

A quick buzz around the intrawebz suggests that even though Wayne was stabbed by a lance in The Alamo, he goes on to use explosives, and dies when they go off. Likewise, though he had been shot, it is an explosion that gets him in The Fighting Seabees, ultimately. Without seeing the movie, I can't tell if it was a sort of suicide mission to crash his vehicle into the oil tank, or if he died from the shot just before the collision, or what?

I haven't found anything specific on the death scene in Sands of Iwo Jima. Is The Duke killed by a nameless/faceless sniper, or does he get some bona fide screen time?

Amon Goeth - Schindler's List - scary the guy was real

Cruella De Ville - anyone that want's to skin puppies for a coat.

Rev. Harry Powell - Night of the Hunter

Rev. Harry Powell - Night of the Hunter

Yes.

Other older villains:

Edward Arnold as Jim Taylor in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Lionel Barrymore as Mr. Potter in It's a Wonderful Life
Edward G. Robinson as Rocco in Key Largo
Conrad Veidt as Major Strasser in Casablanca

Veidt was an interesting villain. He was such a staunch anti-Nazi that he was marked for assassination and had to flee Germany.

Especially chilling, I believe Rev. Powell is based on a real person.
Something about being in black and white makes if even creepier.

The guy Christopher Walz played in Inglorious Bastards is the best Tarentino villian and one of the best modern ones.

Bill the Butcher

Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham is over the top and pretty darn good

Dr. Evil is my favorite comic villian

Ivan Drago is my favorite sports villain

Its been years since I have seen Sands of Iwo Jima. If I remember correctly, the scene briefly shows a sniper pop up (might have been playing dead among other soldiers) and shoot Striker. Anyway, it was certainly the bullet that kills him and not Striker falling on a grenade (or other explosive) after being shot.
