Roth WAS good in "Rob Roy," but that's not a great movie or one that I've seen more than once, so his performance didn't make it on my list. I also remember it as being pretty hammy; not like Pacino in "Devil's Advocate," but pretty hammy. sorry, Jay, “Psycho” the movie was clever and sly, the book was a drawn-out slog of obviousness.

The dropping of a sick line here and there until you were immersed in blood and guts was truly genius. Also, have either of you people seen Rob Roy? Tim Roth should be on the top of these lists as he delivered a jaw-droppingly evil performance, and nothing made me happier than watching him die. The movie was better than the book....in the immortal words of Matt Damon in beautiful girls, "You been eatin retard sandwiches again".

While I don't think much of "The Hitcher," I love Roy Batty in Blade Runner. Hauer also manages to make him very sympathetic as well, which is a nice touch.

Beginning with the role of Roy Batty in Bladerunner, followed by his unforgettable portrayal of John Ryder in The Hitcher (I never again hitchhiked anywhere after seeing this movie!), and in numerous roles since, Rutger Hauer has painted a series of indelible and wholly nightmarish images of stone-cold, soulless evil personified. He gets my vote for scariest movie villain of all time (Laurence Olivier's Dr. Christian Szell notwithstanding).

It was so weird how he was a lock on the Oscar (him or Nicholson for "About Schmidt"), and they lost to Adrien Brody for "The Piano" (which was amazing!). But I partially blame Cameron Diaz for that loss, not Day-Lewis. yeah, Bill the Butcher would have been a good one too.
