Michelle pfeiffer as catwoman was pure heaven.

Agent Smith from Matrix was cool until they ruined it later.

Joe Pesci's character in Casino.

I think I like villains better than heroes. Heroes are usually too dull and self righteous.

Dr Hannibal Lecter, played by anthony hopkins.

He is one my most favorite fictional characters, if not THE most favorite of mine.

What does that say about me?

I love Hades from Hercules as well. I'm also a fan of Hopper from A Bug's Life. It's the voice.

Frollo from Hunchback from Notre Dame is intense, maaaaaan.

I agree with all of the above. I especially love how he undermines Clarice by imitating her accent.

You know what you look like to me with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desparately to shed? Pure West Virginia. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you...all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars...while you could only dream of getting out...getting anywhere... getting all the way to the F–B–I.

some of my favorite anime villains:
Legato (Trigun)--he's just pure hatred.
Orochimaru (Naruto)--*shudders*
Lelouch (Code Geass)--as far as I'm concerned, he's the villain.
Johann Liebert (Monster)--How can this guy be evil when he looks so nice? But he is. VERY evil.
Rie Lacruset (Gundam Seed)--A great continuation of Char Aznoble's legacy.
Sosuke Aizen (Bleach)--Too bad I gave up on Bleach. If Kubo actually knew a thing or two about, you know, closure, that'd be different.

Tequila who is that?

David Hess - the very last word in ultimate sleazeball bad guys. Played the lead bad guy in the "Hess" Trilogy - The Last House on the Left; Hitch-Hike and House on the Edge of the Park.

Did those movies make it to the UK?

They're very old, but yes. And wouldn't it have been obvious as you're talking to someone with Britanniabourgishstan as their icon?

Right but Tequila was talking about movies that never made it to the UK, so I was wondering did he have to see them on the internet, or could he watch them on dvd.

Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, Stephen King's Carrie, Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader/Anakin, Satan/Woland and his retinue (Behemoth, Fagotto, Azazello) from M. Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita".

Papillon.

Egocentric.

Narcisstic.

Fashionable.

Frickin' AWESOME.



Ok, maybe not fashionable.

I had to import them all.

These films have long censorship histories in the UK.

Case history of The Last House on the Left is here (http://www.sbbfc.co.uk/CaseStudies/The_Last_House_On_The_Left).

I had an uncut copy of The Last House on the Left in 2002, just after the cinema submission was banned by the BBFC the previous year. Finally, in 2008 the film was passed '18' uncut, with all previous cuts waived.

Hitch-Hike was released uncut in the UK, but I bought the import instead as I didn't want to wait for the UK release - it came out here about six months after I bought my US copy, I think.

The House on the Edge of the Park is a tricky one. It was submitted to the BBFC for a cinema certificate in 1980, and like Last House on the Left was swiftly rejected outright. The film was released, fully uncut and uncertified, on video a few years later. It ended up on the video nastiest list and was one of the DPP's 37 films that were deemed obscene and banned. Very little was heard of the film afterwards; it's definitely one of the most extreme films on the list. Anyway, very little happened about that title until 2002, when Vipco submitted the film to the BBFC. Everyone knew at the time that the film would probably require heavy cuts, but the BBFC took nearly 12 minutes out of the film, rendering it pointless and really an unviable release - I'm reliably informed that people who saw this version wondered what the hell was going on half the time, and the ending didn't make sense because all the nastiness that made the film so shocking was removed. All the sexual violence was missing and a lot of the physical violence too. Shameless are in the process of submitting the film to an advisory board in order to ask them how many cuts would be needed this time around - I can't imagine the film making it through this time without substantial cuts either. The BBFC have made huge strides in the last ten years but a film like this is still extremely problematic for them because of the way it deals with rape and sexual mutiliation.

Ordered an uncut Dutch copy about the time that the massacred Vipco version came out.
