Just ran across this on YouTube.

First thought in my mind, was Fonda as Frank in “Once Upon A Time In The West”.
Hank Fonda was always the hero in Westerns, which is why Leoney wanted him as the bad guy.
Lotta great actors, Marvin, Wallache, Boone, Van Cleef, but Fonda as a villain had to be the top, IMHO.
Should’ve given honorable mention to Bruce Dern. Any SOB that shoots Duke in the back, in cold blood, automatically gets a top rating!

In a comedy western, I gotta go with James Coburn in "Waterhole #3". I think that was Coburn, anyway - been a long time.

It was.

Gene Hackman in Unforgiven was pretty good.

Lee Van Cleef was excellent as well.

Tuco (Eli Wallach) was a pretty good villain in ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.’

Not a Western but loosely a Civil War themed movie. Charlie Hunnam’s character in Cold Mountain was a pretty decent villain.

Also Rod Steiger In “Jubal”.
Great movie, and Steiger plays a real Sonuva Bitch.
One of my favorites, but I stand by Fonda as Frank.
Once Upon a Time is easily in my top 3, and seeing Fonda as the villain, sorta blew me away!
I wonder how Jimmy Stewart would have been as a villain.
Stewart definitely had the acting ability.

Can you imagine what a villain John Wayne could have been?

He made for a pretty good villain in the Quick and Dead also.

Walter Mathow was a great villain, in that bullwhip scene.

Okay, just picking, but the scene they used for Lee Van Cleef, where he uses a stocked SSA to drill the hunchback in the forehead was from “A Few Dollars More” , or am I crazy?
Im pretty sure I’m not!
