Joaquin's Commodus was perfect. You hate him in every scene he's in. That's how you portray a villain people can't stand. Great acting 👌

Alan Rickman was the best. He also died as a villain in "Quigley Down Under".

[@cornonthecob3051]

I love that

[@heinleinreader]

@@brendaduncan4347 Of course he also died as a not exactly a villain in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. He also didn't die at all in Galaxy Quest, but my sides died from laughing at that film. There is also his death opposite Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under. That had one of the most iconic lines given by a hero to the villain while he watches the overconfident villain die at his feet. Selleck said, "I said I never had much use for one. I didn't say I didn't know how to use it." He said that in reference to the mistaken impression of Quigley's awareness of Sam Colt's Peacemaker. That alone could date this the setting of the film. Set in Australia in the late 19th century when Australia was still an open air prison. Good movie. Also stars Laura San Giacomo as a character called Crazy Cora. It is a thoroughly fun romp through a western with a twist.

[@alexlazzerly3677]

So many people love Joaquin from Joker. But me? For me, his Joker will always pale in comparison to Commodus. Him not getting the Oscar for that performance is absolutely criminal.

[@jameshobbs9180]

I would say he played both roles to the same level. Which is a very high level. Oscars will always be about how much money is put into things. And no movie company will put that much money into securing an Oscar for the antagonist of the movie if they have other Oscars they can secure more easily, which they did. But since it's pretty much all about money when it comes to Oscars, it's honestly not worth it to get mad about them. I mean look at some of the genres, like Animated Film. Unless you have Disney tied to you in some way, you're almost never going to win. And Academy members have been known to say things like they just vote for whatever their kid likes the best or just whatever seems the most popular in categories like that.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

And that opinion is 100% fair. For me though, it’s Commodus all the way.

Liberty Valence’s death was very satisfying. Lee Marvin played one of the greatest villains in cinema ever.

[@heinleinreader]

They could also, if you desire a western, do a western with a twist. Selleck's character killing Alan Rickman's character in Quigley Down Under was perfect, and Selleck had the perfect line as he shot Rickman. This movie is well worth a watch.

[@GreenwoodQuake]

@@heinleinreader Yeah, I remember that one! The Australia location/production made it uniquely interesting. I recently read it was written originally for Steve McQueen; however, he unfortunately succumbed to cancer, so it ended up with Selleck. "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" was also quite atypical too, having it's setting in an 1939 Manchurian desert. I think that (a south Korean Western) would also fit into your "Western with a twist" category; however, I'd just be happy with Westerns being represented!

[@heinleinreader]

@@GreenwoodQuake So, oddly in a way, might the Seven Samurai, as that Kurosawa classic was the basis for the original Magnificent Seven film. It certainly had a quasi-Western flavor to it. And the main reason I mentioned the film is that I thought it was a great performance by Rickman (as usual), and was perhaps the best of Tom Selleck. And Laura San Giacomo gave a brilliant performance as Crazy Cora. I thought it was a movie worthy of far more recognition than it has gotten. It was well written, well directed and well acted. Rickman was also, in my view, underappreciated in his role in Galaxy Quest. The man was arguably one of the greatest character actors of his generation, perhaps in all of acting history period. This is my opinion, but a credible on I think. If anyone deserves a posthumous lifetime achievement Oscar, Rickman does. That's my story, and I am sticking to it.

@@TheGhostofMrArthurs Did you actually read the books or watch the movies? At what point in any of them did Neville Longbottom seem like the type that was looking for vengeance?

[@TheGhostofMrArthurs]

@@davidchappell1548 well, when bella first appeared to them and he said he gets to avenge his parents is a good start. I'm a big believer in earned kills, I dont like quota kills. Look at Game of Thrones, Sansa didnt deserve ramsey's kill, that was theons. Joffrey wasnt Olenna's kill. I get people love to pull the rug out, but JUST because its the obvious way, doesnt mean its wrong. Neville should have gotten Bella, fact. To hell with writing it in "because she's just a mom"

[@phyllisdicks9830]

Although wildly historically inaccurate, the death of Commodus in "Gladiator" was epic, and greatly satisfying. Good choice.

Sarumon in extended edition of LOTR falling to his death and landing on spikes was a satisfying end.

[@bheast86]

just expensive flash compared to the book, where Saruman gets his throat cut from behind in the midst of being insufferable, and his body decays: Not only a valid excuse for extending the story beyond the big ending, but downright wretched

[@leondzananovic6576]

What makes this scene satisfying is that Saruman's death is also Wormtongue's undoing.

It was better to see Gollum and Sauron’s eye 👁️ die!!!!

[@WinsberryEntertainment]

The whole video, I'm thinking. The bad guy in Dirty Harry will be in the top 5 at least. There's no villain I've hated more in a movie. And he's not even mentioned.

[@Texasjim2007]

In the movie he calls himself Scorpio making him a fictional version of the Zodiac Killer. Aside from being a psychopath who picks randomly selected innocent victims including little kids to murder what makes him especially loathsome is the way he exploits bleeding heart liberal judges and the media to portray himself as a poor abused victim of police brutality literally being allowed to get away with murder. Dirty Harry's whole iconic "Do you feel lucky?" routine at the beginning of the film showing that Harry never loses track of how many bullets he's fired is basically to set up Harry giving this guy an excuse to shoot him.

[@JayRiemenschneider]

Good call

I agree with your first pick. But somehow I wish Annie in Misery was higher, at least top 5.

Out of all of the villains I’ve seen die on this montage, I am sorely missing Cyrus “The Virus” Grissom of Con Air fame. True, his death was nothing short of Rasputaniun, but the fact that he had the stones to go after the protagonist’s daughter can’t be ignored.

[@PunYT]

To be honest, I want to see more hatable villains go out like he did. Over and over, being fatally wounded in a variety of ways.

[@NoNoNoNo-99]

Nokes (Kevin Bacon) from Sleepers. I hated him so much that when I saw him killed, I leaped for joy.

[@DJGamingSmash]

Am I the only one that doesn't hate Colin from The Departed? In fact, I feel bad for the guy. Sure, he starts as a sniveling little weasel that we want to see taken down, of course. But when he's the last one standing and has his change of heart, instating an honorable military funeral for his enemy who didn't deserve what he got went a long ways towards redeeming him. You have to remember, he was coerced into that life as a young child, so even with his life in shambles, seeing him do the right thing feels like a subversively satisfying ending... but the final moment we get instead is understandable too, it just feels a tad cruel to kill someone who's doing so much with their lucky break and actually making full use of their second chance to have it revoked.
