LIVE POLL: When the Villain is More Interesting Than the Hero

@dan_dassow​ 

Thanks, I knew I was missing some Disney classics. Your suggestion is so on point I will put it high on the list.

@ElMo,

Thank you for adding Sleeping Beauty (1959).

I debated whether to suggest Miss Gulch / The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz (1939). I came to the conclusion that Dorothy Gale and the other characters are overall more interesting then The Wicked Witch of the West.

I'm pondering whether Megamind from Megamind (2010) would qualify for your poll.

Good call, I'll probably add them all.

Since there's already one Joker, shouldn't we focus on Batman Returns, wasn't The Penguin more interesting in a way?

By the way, you're absolutely right about your martial art film suggestions, it's just that these two villains don't get enough screen time to consider that they make the film worth to watch. Just saw (and reviewed) Karate Tiger recently and the film's only redeeming quality is that scene with Van Damme in a white suite kicking the man's torso by jumping on a man's leg.

Clubber Lang, Rocky 3

Thanks for sharing I knew such idea had to be made into a poll some time

I just wanted to focus on movies where the hero and the bad guy  have almost equal screentime, actually I could use some movies on that list

I disagree though about Hans Gruber being more interesting than John McClane, both made the film.
