(28,863 posts)He always shoots everybody a second time - in the head to make sure they're dead. The splatter looks realistic. Hey everybody, don't forget it's just a movie. (Regardless, they deserved it.)

(58,760 posts)The Man Without a Name or "Joe" (Clint Eastwood) was perhaps less evil than the other two, with Angel Eyes (Lee van Cleef) being the worst of the three, but all of them definitely had feet of clay.
Great movie, though.

Oh, and seeing Tom Hiddleston as the hero in The Night Manager reminds me of how good he's been as the often-villainous Loki:

(15,058 posts)In the intervening years, stuff about the director and actor have come out which make a re-watch less enjoyable because their shitty personal behavior intrudes on the film-watching experience somewhat.
(yes, for spoiler-free reasons -- even though it has been out for decades -- I said "Keyser Soze" and not another name)
But Magua and The Sheriff (and Hans Gruber!) are up there.
Heath Ledger's Joker is definitely on my short list too, along with Robert Patrick's T1000 in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

(7,707 posts)1st up is Michael Myers. Played by several actors including Tony Moran and Nick Castle.
2nd would be Charles Brady in Sleepwalkers. Played by Brian Krause.
Definitely The Joker played by Joaquin Phoenix.
Another favorite is Courtney Gains. He played Malachai in Children of the Corn and Hans Koplek in The Burbs.
Knowing me, it's possible that my favorites are always changing. If I was asked this same question two months from now, my answers could be way different.
