I saved Gator's you-know-what on this one just now. I seldom intervene on these things unless it makes us look bad to the Lefties but Gator said I had, "significant moral clarity" one time so it's a little payback. :)

It still ain't right. :p

I dunno if I'd consider him the scariest of all time, but the scariest I've seen in recent years was anton chigurh from No Country For Old Men. The guy just wouldn't stop and he's so calm throughout the whole film while he's killing people left and right. Plus the weaponry just kicked arse! Using a compressed air tank to blow a dude's brains out? And that silenced shotgun? Tell me that didn't rule.

Terminator ain't got s*** on Anton.

He was pretty creepy. I think that one that really scared me the most was Bruce the Shark from the first Jaws movie.

I have been getting a lot of grief on that kind of stuff lately. I need to pay more attention to what I am doing.

Oh, and by the way, don't get too excited about the "significant moral clarity" remark. Men sometimes tell women what they think the women want to hear in order to get certain favors, know what I mean? It doesn't mean anything.

This thread started with the ultimate: Mitchum in "Night of the Hunter". He's chilling, and the fact that two small children are up against him in an unfair fight is riveting. When my husband and I were first together, he had no tolerance at all for scary movies (he's developed some, in self defense, over the years). I 'sold' this to him as "a Robert Mitchum movie" so he happily went along with it. He read the video box once we got home: "Pauline Kael says, 'possibly the most frightening film ever made....'" by then the credits were rolling and it was..... too..... late...... :p

I fear Lindanumbers when she sees this thread title.:eek:

I saw it. Fortunately, I'm feeling unusually benevolent today. We'll see how soon that wears off.

Another genre. Liberty Valence was just dangerous. So dangerous, John Wayne had to bushwhack him. Really good story. Really bad villain.

I saw that movie in the theatre when it came out, so I was about seven. My parents liked John Wayne westerns, and took me to this one. Liberty Valance was hard to take at that age. It's probably colored my view of Lee Marvin in every other part since - I just don't like him that much.
