Best Herzog film ever, Fitzcaraldo (1982)-If you've never seen it you definitely need to bucket-list-it...Starring Kreepy Klaus Kinsky and the ravishing Italian bombshell, Claudia Cardinale.

the klaus kinski one is Aguirre, or the wrath of god. one of my all-time favorite movies - i actually bought the real official movie poster of it for $250 lol

I have seen and remember all of these but two. The one with Klaus Kinski and the one where the german officer stabs a guy in the face repeatedly, are the two I've never seen.
Many of the villians I could name, many of them are on the tip of my tongue and will probably drive me nuts trying to come up with the names. I could name the actors or the movies, but the villians names are tough ( without doing research).
This is a great list, and I would like to start off a discussion by saying... The Wicked Witch of the West should be on here, I've hated that bitch as far back as I can recall.

>> ^ant:
Is it me or is the audio very low?


definitely need headphones for this. (which brings up a good point -- when i'm surfing youtube videos or video sift videos, there's never a good balance of the audio. So, you could be watching one video with low volume, where you need to put the volume all the way up, and then watch another video with good volume, but blow out your speakers -- and ears -- because you had it turned up from the previous video. This is a problem that needs fixing, and it's not just teaching people how to balance the audio of the videos they're posting.)

Posted this before, but it didn't make it. Good stuff. Kinski was a truly volatile man.

More about the indians' offer to have Kinski killed. I like how Herzog's response was "No, I need him to finish the movie!"

The man was best friends with Klaus Kinski. Compared to life with Kinski, taking the occasional bullet is nothing. Some of the stories Herzog told about Kinski in his film "My Best Fiend" put the random, anonymous pot-shot in perspective. Kinski'a rage was legendary. One time he locked himself in a bathroom, and managed, bare-handed, to reduce everything in there to rubble. Toilet, sink and bathtub smashed to pieces no larger than gravel.
