Please someone recommend me villain-oriented movies. The kind you want to be.


Many times villain's character overshadows everything else in a movie. And many times when you watch them you want to be the villain more than you want to be the hero. That's the kind of movie I want to watch. I am not talking about any silly superhero movies or any comedy movies. I am looking for a more serious and gripping movie with great acting and plot. "No Country For Old Man" would be one such movie. I liked the villain way more than the hero. I pictured myself being a villain instead of a hero.

The Joker (2019) while based on a comic book character is not a comic book movie.

In Unforgiven (1992) Clint Eastwood’s character is a cold blooded killer but he isn’t the villain in the film.

Most of Tarantino’s films have characters whose lines between good and bad are quite blurry. The spaghetti western genre is also well known for having villains that are easily related to.

Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (91) was a terrific, despicable bastard. He pretty much upstaged everybody including the heroes, Costner and Freeman.
