If you love a good action flick and their often memorable lines, you will love these words from some of the best movie villains of all time.
Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) – Hannibal, 2013-2015
Hannibal Lecter: Killing must feel good to God, too. He does it all the time, and are we not created in his image?
Will Graham: Depends on who you ask.
Hannibal Lecter: God’s terrific. He dropped a church roof on 34 of his worshipers last Wednesday night in Texas, while they sang a hymn.
Will Graham: Did God feel good about that?
Hannibal Lecter: He felt powerful.
Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight, Will? It appears quite black.
Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) – Schindler’s List, 1993
Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great – so called – told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came with nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.
Errol Childress (Glenn Fleshler), True Detective (Season 1), 2014
Come on inside, little priest. To the right, little priest. Take the bride’s path. This is Carcosa.
Marv (Mickey Rourke) – Sin City, 2005
And when his eyes go dead, the hell I sent him to must seem like heaven after what I’ve done to him.
Worth dying for. [gunshot] Worth killing for. [gunshot] Worth going to hell for. [final gunshot] Amen. [said while shooting the priest in a church]
Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas) – Assassins, 1995
Killing a woman, it’s not the same as killing a man. You have to pull the trigger a different way.
Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) – Game of Thrones, 2011-
And this is the one I’ll be remembered for. ‘The War of Five Kings,’ they’re calling it. My legacy will be determined in the coming months. You know what “legacy” means? It’s what you pass down to your children, and your children’s children. It’s what remains of you when you’re gone. Harren the Black thought this castle would be his legacy. Greatest fortress ever built. Tallest towers, the strongest walls. The Great Hall had thirty-five hearths. Thirty-five, can you imagine? Look at it now. A blasted ruin.
Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) – Leon: The Professional, 1994
Norman Stansfield: Do you like life, sweetheart?
Mathilda: [whispering] Yes.
Norman Stansfield: That’s good — because I take no pleasure in taking a life if it’s from a person who doesn’t care about it.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It’s like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin’ and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?
