‘A drunken, cowardly, deluded prodigal’: Readers on their favorite unlikable movie characters | film

Willie Suki – Bad Santa

The fact that he managed to save a child’s life while remaining an alcoholic without an ounce of dignity or self-respect…is positively heartwarming. Gus Cairns

alex deLarge – Clockwork Orange

A murderer, a gleefully sadistic rapist, and an unapologetic sociopath, he treats human beings as toys and a threat to every value in the moral community. Yet Malcolm McDowell brings him to life with such skill and hilarity that he is irresistibly charming and likable throughout his horrors. You even feel happy for him in the end when he gets away with the whole thing. Thecuregalore94

Emily Benito Emily the criminal

She’s amazingly cruel, but you also find yourself cheering for her, thanks to some of the awful characters she encounters. And then you have Plaza’s truly terrifying eyes (possibly the most gorgeous eyes since Bette Davis). Genette fishing

Jules Winfield -Pulp Fiction

He kills people for a living, but at the same time has to deal with life’s inconveniences and many annoying people along the way. Samuel L. Jackson was robbed of his Oscar that year. mattyjj

Tommy DeVito – Good guys

He’s a completely repulsive, unrepentant serial killer who manages to command enough charisma to make him an incredible screen presence. Like seeing a grenade with a missing pin. IscoBusquet

sign ‘cleaver’ RepeatsAdvertisement – chopper

He played brilliantly at a career high for Eric Bana. A quotable biography that tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing like the truth about Mark Brandon Reid, who earned the nickname for using bolt cutters and people’s toes along with other “sallywag” antics. Tonymansel

Ethan Edwards – Researchers

John Wayne’s towering performance affects everyone off screen. The only negative is John Ford’s penchant for emotional endings. Chelsea17

Lily Powers -The baby’s face

An unabashedly selfish gold digger who literally works his way to the top of the corporate hierarchy, before reaching his inevitable downfall. com. finnyfish

Barry Champlin – Talk Radio

He is abrasive, arrogant and vain. But he is also crushed by the weight of society and desperately seeks affection. A great character in an underappreciated film. glider

Valerie SaulAnas – I shot Andy Warhol

Even though she portrays a real person, Lili Taylor’s portrayal of Valerie Solanas is a tour de force. The film is a sadly forgotten 90s gem with great performances all around. Jared Harris Warhol is the ultimate screen Warhol (sorry, David Bowie), and Stephen Dorff’s Candy Darling absolutely shines, but it’s Taylor’s performance that brings it all together. Pre-Sopranos Michael Imperioli and John Ventimiglia are also standouts in small parts, playing completely against (futuristic) type (imagine Christopher as one of the members of the mindless factory group). Available on YouTube, from what I can see, but only in 480p. Pazuzu

Sebastian Valmont – Dangerous communications

I remember seeing the film in a London cinema when it was first released. When Valmont was killed during a duel, the sound of the audience crying filled the cinema. It still bothers me every time I watch the movie. Postover

Dirk Bogarde – Server

Wonderfully catty but somewhat cheap at the same time. All of Joseph Losey’s collaborations with Harold Pinter are masterpieces. Roboxone

John Hammond – Jurassic Park

He is an enthusiastic, grandfather-like character to the audience. But his enthusiasm blinded him to the immoral and dangerous act he had undertaken. Even when things go wrong and his employees are killed, he is still deluded, in denial, and excited that he will work and entertain people. Dropped a penny too late. Oak towers

Howard Ratner – Uncut gemstones

The entire film is a study of devastating addiction, and the tension found in our compassion for the afflicted. We know that Howard is a truly terrible man, who has failed to control his compulsions, regardless of the dangers they pose to himself and others; However, we can never deny that he is a victim too, and that there may be a good man out there somewhere. The ending felt like a relief. SocksPest

Harriet Potter -Continue camping

Horrific, indomitable, and completely oblivious to the impact and consequences of her behavior. com. vastariner

Withnail – Withnail and I

A cowardly, deceitful drunken wastrel who was willing to let his best friend sodomize him so he could go on vacation. But… great, right? ManicOwl

William “D-Vince” Boost – Falling

Michael Douglas’ character in Falling Down seems to have become more relatable to many as the years have passed. While some of his frustrations may be valid, it’s worth noting that he’s definitely the bad guy. arashikage

Quint – Jaws

A belligerent, braggart bully who takes his revenge on the wildlife, but played with real humanity by Robert Shaw, so you see the damaged individual underneath, and answer why he is the way he is. Good birds
