50 Most Vile Movie Villains: Part 2

ARCHIBALD CUNNINGHAM
Tim Roth
Rob Roy (1995)

Thanks to Quentin Tarantino, Roth's often been typecast as modern-day hoods and thugs, but his villains don't come any more dastardly than this one, nemesis to the 18th Century Scottish folk hero of the title (Liam Neeson). The foppish, bewigged Cunningham is a thief, a womanizer, a despoiler of villages, and an expert swordsman. For good measure, he even rapes Mrs. Rob Roy (Jessica Lange). All that's missing is a waxed mustache for him to twirl. —Gary Susman
