Which is the better villain performance
Rank these performances.
- Ledger's Joker
- Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh
- Hopkin's Lector
- Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa

Lector was never really the villain... More of an anti-hero.
I've yet to see No Country for Old Men so I don't know about Chigruh... out of the Joker and Hans Landa I think Waltz made the better performance. (I realise that this is an unpopular decision because he's still alive... people seem to lose perspectives in regards to the dead)

- Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh
He was so ****ing twisted, it was great though. Heath did amazing as well, but Chigurh is in a league of his own.

I have also not got around to seeing ''No country for old men'' but out of the rest,I would have to say Ledgers Joker and Hans Landa a close second,Anthony Hopkins was superb in his performance on ''Silence of the Lambs'' but I feel he gave a bit of a weaker one in ''Hannibal''

Hopkin's Lector the only one that can play Joker the right away will always be Jack N in the batman movie

Prefer Nicholson to Ledger, but Ledger was excellent.
Lector is the best on the list imo...

Lector in SOTL was crazt, a over-the-top performance. He's the best.
All three other were also superb, and I'd add Jack Nicholson also with them.

All of these performances are completely different; all great.
If Nicholson's Joker were added, that'd be the weak link for sure.

There are a lot of good villains not on the list... However, he asked to rank the ones listed.

Nicholson should be on the list instead of Lector

I don't get what was so great about Landa. He was charismatic and fun to watch, but the same can be said about a lot of performances. Maybe I should watch the film again, but if I didn't catch the hype the first time, I probably will never get it,
Ledger, I guess is my pick. But he was intimidating just as much because of the excellent writing as because of his performance.
Never seen "No Country", so I can't say about Chigurh.
I think that Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street" is one of the best movie villains of all time, and that's not some kind of political statement. He's competely amoral, competely convinced that it's OK and even "good" to squash people under him, and he makes no bones about ruining people's lives for his own benifit. And the worst part is that there are a lot of people like him in real life.
