Top Female Villains in Movies

[HornGrandioso]

1) Nurse Ratched (this should be undisputed)
2) Kathy Bates in Misery
3) The mom in Million Dollar Baby
4) Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill
5) Dirk Diggler's mom in Boogie Nights (I know she's only there for about 2-3 minutes, but she is an evil wretch)

I am a peaceful man, and I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever strike a woman under any circumstances, but these characters make me form a tightly clenched fist of rage every time I watch the movie.

 

[HatDaddy]

i'd beat Mommie Dearest to a pulp if she wacked me with a friggin wire hanger.

 

[wolfman]

Wicked Witch of the West
Nurse Rached
Kathy Bates - Misery

 

[BigWill]

Onotopp's in the mix

 

[Not Shinola]

without looking at the thread.... Nurse Ratched

I will throw in Prof. Umbridge just cause I hated her in the book. Somewhat tamer in the movie.

 

[Handler XIII]

I still hate Barbara Hershey (don't know her character's name) for shooting Roy Hobbs.

I'll also throw in that slut, Susanna from Legends of the Fall.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

Onotopp is #1

 

[rickysrun]

Glenn Close Fatal Attraction

 

[hullabelew]

1) Nurse Ratched
2) Demi Moore's character in Disclosure with Michael Douglas. What a *****.
3) Sam Phillips as Katya in Die Hard: With a Vengeance. Sam in the former Mrs. T-Bone Burnett and has released several, very good albums over the years. Her character never spoke but was vital to the movie. The entire movie, I kept thinking she looked like Sam, but didn't know she acted and given her christian music background, I doubted she would be in a such a movie. She did a very good job.

[Victory Lap]

And the winner is:

Cruella de Vil

Other than Bob Stoops, there is no character that hates puppies more.

 

[accuratehorn]

Victory Lap may need to take a victory lap.

Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson) in Rebecca

Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) Whatever Happened to Baby Jane

Definitely Linda Fiorentino in the movie mentioned above.

 

[Texanne]

VIctory Lap beat me to it. There is no villian -- male OR female -- as cruel and heartless as Cruelle de Vil.

I mean, she wanted to make a COAT out of those adorable puppies? What a sicko!

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Jane Hoffman "Sybil"
Piper Laurie "Carrie"
Barbara Stanwyk "Double Indemnity"
Laurene Tuttle "Ma Barker's Killer Brood"

 

[GatorHorn]

Jane Hoffman is a winner.

 

[Macanudo]

***** Galore. But she went good eventually.

 

[LITNIN HORN]

Even villainous ***** is good.

 

[HornsOverIthaca]

Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil, if she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will.
What kind of sick piece of **** doesn't like puppies. I mean christ, puppies of all things. Everyone likes puppies.

#2 for the mom in Million Dollar Baby. I agree. Bullet between the eyes.

 

[HornHawk]

Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate
Mary Tyler Moore in Ordinary People

 

[russwm]

Eihi Shiina in the Japanese Horror flick "Audition". Although I have not seen the movie, just seeing the trailer is enough for her to vault to #1.
