Solid lists.


The anal-rapist in Irreversible.

Captain Vidal in 'Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)'

Rosamund Pike in 'I Care a Lot (2020)' is another horrible-person role she's done. Good film too.

edit: If we include TV, all the main characters in Succession are shit people. The daughter "Shiv" is the best of them, but she's still a pretty shitty person.

Snyder lovers

Robtard
Archibald Cunningham from Rob Roy (1995)

You just love to hate this piece of shit, almost on the same level as the sister-f**ker Emperor Commodus from Gladiator.

thumb up yes

Old Man Whirly!
"Daddy" Pongo Banks in Scum and all his hench men, but most of all the screws from that film deserve a mention.

Colonel Isaac Johnson in SHOOTER (2007).

Perennial good guy Danny Glover seemed to enjoy playing this smug evil murderous bastard, and it showed.

Robtard
Speaking of Danny Glover, his Albert character in The Color Purple was a proper bastard, though he did do one solid/good thing at the end.
