8 Movie Villains I Want to be When I Grow Up

Posted on July 22nd, 2010 by Brian Chaney in General

I don’t want to be a thief, murderer, adulterer, or whatever…especially since most of these people die or just lose in the end.  But if I had to be a villain, these are 8 people I definitely would not mind being.  Do you have some of your own?  Post them at the bottom in our “Comments” section.

310 To Yuma - Ben Wade310 to Yuma – Ben Wade
We recently reviewed the 2007 version of 310 to Yuma on our Podcast, and had a very good discussion about mr. Wade.  He is clearly our villain, but the line between good and evil is very questionable throughout the movie.  That aside, Wade is confident, crafty, good with the ladies, and always in control.
Wizard of Oz - The Wicked WitchThe Wizard of Oz – The Wicked Witch Of The West
I don’t want to be a woman, or have green skin…but flying on a broomstick?  Flying monkeys?  Flying fireballs?  I could totally deal with all of that flying.  And I would do things totally differently.
DraculaAny Dracula movie – Count Dracula
Sure, he relies on human blood to sustain him…BUT, eternal youth, chick magnet, great dresser.  Great trade-offs.
Die Hard - Hans GruberDie Hard – Hans Gruber
A little too effeminate for me, but still not someone I would mess with.  And he’s rich….actually, was he?  Maybe not.  Still, loved the accent, and I wish I could have one just like it.
Fight Club - Tyler DurdenFight Club – Tyler Durden
The concept of the world held by Tyler is very enticing….albeit nuts.  To live free of materialism would be liberating…but I enjoy the luxuries of this life way too much.  And he is played by Brad Pitt.  Get rid of the anti-capitalism, and Tyler is my hero.
Alien - The AlienAlien – The Alien
Acid for blood?  Two mouths?  Incredible acrobatic abilities?  Count me in.
Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy KruegerNightmare on Elm Street – Freddy Krueger
Though pretty much all 6 (6 movies?  Wait a minute, let me check…9.  Wow) all 9 movies are garbage, the concept is pretty freaking cool.  Take away the child murdering/molestation, burning to death locked in a house, and murdering people in their sleep…being Freddy would be wonderful.

Okay, maybe this one doesn’t work.

Star Wars - Boba FettStar Wars – Boba Fett
This guy can fly and shot laser guns.  Sold.
