20. JOHN MATRIX (Commando) The drop from the plane is class, the mall scene is awesome and his lines just kill.
(While holding a guy, upside down over a cliff)
John Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully: That's right, Matrix. You did.
Matrix: I lied.

19. XXXX (Layer Cake) Yeah I know, but I think Daniel Craig did well with this character, good fights - bad attitude.
XXXX: [over the phone] Dragan?
Dragan: Yes.
XXXX: I've got an idea... Why don't you come 'round for breakfast? I'll squeeze some orange juice and grind some coffee and we can talk about this like adults. How's that sound?
Dragan: Sounds very hospitable.
XXXX: Do you know where I live?
Dragan: No.
XXXX: Well, f*$k off then.
[hangs up]
18. NEIL MCCAULEY (Heat) A great performance by De Niro, highly under-appreciated.
Neil McCauley: He knew the risks, he didn't have to be there. It rains... you get wet.

17. JOHN MCCLANE (DIE HARD 1/2/3) Willis is just amazing in this, can't imagine anyone else doing it. I Hope they don't mess it up with 4.0! Yippee-ki-yay mother f#$%er
[McClane is trying to call up police]
Supervisor: Attention, whoever you are. This channel is reserved for emergency calls only...
John McClane: No f#$%ing

16. HERMIONE GRANGER (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) The scene where she punched Draco's face was the most badass thing ever for a chick her age!
Malfoy: Ah, come to see the show?
Hermione: [shouts] You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!
[Hermione raises her wand at Malfoy. He backs against the wall, whimpering]
Ron: Hermione, no! He's not worth it.
[Hermione lowers her wand and turns away. Malfoy starts laughing, she spins around and socks him in the nose]
Vincent Crabbe: Malfoy! Are you okay? Come on, let's go!
Malfoy: [running away] Quick! Not a word to anyone! Understood?
Hermione: That felt good.
Ron: Not good, brilliant!

15. JAMES BOND (From Russia With Love) Fearless.
[Grant has just explained SPECTRE's plot for Bond]
James Bond: That must have been a pretty sick collection of minds to dream up a plan like that.
Donald 'Red' Grant: Wish you could see the headlines, "British agent murders beautiful Russian spy, then commits suicide."
James Bond: Tell me, which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?
Donald 'Red' Grant: Don't make it tougher on yourself, Mr. Bond!
[Grant slaps Bond across the face]
Donald 'Red' Grant: My orders are to kill you and deliver the Lektor. How I do it is my business. It'll be slow and painful.

14. ROBOCOP - They should have left it at 1, my fave scene is when he shoots between the woman hostage's legs, pure brilliance.
Robocop: Your move, creep

13. THE BRIDE (Kill Bill) One bad momma.
The Bride: Wiggle your big toe [after finally getting her big toe to move] Hard part's over. Now let's get these other piggies wiggling.

12. JULES WINNFIELD (Pulp Fiction) Loses credibilty with his name lol and got a little annoying towards the end.
Say "what" again. SAY "WHAT" AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, mother f#$%er Say "what" one more goddamn time.

11. EL MARIACHI (Desperado/O.U.A.T. I.M) The hair, the eyes, the darks looks, but enough about me

Priest: Would you like confession?
El Mariachi: Maybe later, where I'm going I would just have to come straight back

10. JASON BOURNE (Bourne Identity/Supremacy) Matt Damon at his best, calm but deadly, preferred him in SUPREMACY, esp the scene when he's caught at the airport and in a flash takes all the officers down, movie magic! Can't wait for ULTIMATUM
Jason Bourne: I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep. I'm on my own side now.

9. CYRUS 'THE VIRUS' GRISSOM (Con-Air) Pyschotic and smart - a deadly combination
[to the pilot whom he is holding at gunpoint]
Cyrus Grissom: Say a word about this over the radio, and the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse!
http://www.hellonear...nair/plot10.jpg
8. DWAYNE HICKS (Aliens) He was a big time badass, you wouldn't wanna mess with him even as a soldier.
[Pulling out his pump-action shotgun]
Hicks: I like to keep this handy for close encounters.
http://www.michaelbi...is/aliens04.jpg
7. HAPPY GILMORE - Some might think an odd choice but he's a legend, Sandler played it so well. A total badass, yeah he doesn't kill anyone but with a short fuse like that, it's only a matter of time. The fight with Bob Barker is masterful lol
Happy Gilmore: You little son of a b**ch ball! Why you don't you just go home? That's your HOME! Are you too good for your home? ANSWER ME! SUCK MY WHITE

6. SNAKE PLISSKEN (Escape from New York/LA) I hope they make another 1, would be good to have a prequel about Cleveland. His patch and leather coat made him menacing and his lines are just class.
Snake Plissken - The more things change, the more they stay the same
http://www-scf.usc.e...ling/snake2.jpg
5. TONY MONTANA (Scarface) Need I say more?
Tony Montana - I always tell the truth, even when I lie
http://vindicare.hau...ny_montana1.jpg
4. JAMES BOND (Casino Royale) - Daniel Craig makes Bond looked badass. He brings more coolness than Connery and more humor than Moore or Lazenby.
Le Chiffre: You've changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I do hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire?
James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS TOUGH, THE TOP THREE WERE JUST TOO CLOSE TO CALL. A LONG AND HARD DECISION, STILL NOT SURE I HAVE IT RIGHT.
3. VINCENT (Collateral) Tom Cruise is simply magnificent as Vincent. The talk, the calmness he kills with (Jazz singer in bar) The shootout in the club was electrifying. Lost a few marks for getting killed by Jamie Foxx! One bad guy I was really routing to be the last man standing.
[warning Max when two policemen have them pulled over]
Vincent: If you open that trunk, they go inside.
Vincent: What? I should only kill people after I get to know them?
Max: You killed him?
Vincent: No, I shot him. Bullets and the fall killed him.

2. SETH GECKO (From Dusk Till Dawn) Wow if he's 2nd who's 1st? He's one hell of a badass and I would love to another movie with him in it, maybe what happened in El Rey. Cool lines, great image, rough as *beep* I always thought Clooney was an

Seth: I said plant yourself. Plants don't talk.
So who's number 1? Not gone to sleep have you? although if you have you won't be reading this anyway...well maybe once you woke up. ANYWAY.......He's a little pyscho, doesn't take

1. TOMMY DEVITO (Goodfellas) This guy sent shivers down my spine when I saw the movie, esp when he kills Billy Bates for asking him to shine his shoes. Amazing character and would take on any of the other 19...all at once probably lol
Tommy DeVito: He said, "No, you're gonna tell me something today, tough guy." I said, "All right, I'll tell you something: go f#$k your mother."
Tommy DeVito: What do you want to tell me now, tough guy? I said, "Hey, what are you doing here, I thought I told you to go f#$k your mother."
[Group laughs]
Tommy DeVito: I thought he was gonna

Tommy DeVito: Oklahoma kid. That's me. I'm the Oklahoma kid. You frickin' varmin. Dance. Dance. YAHOO, YOU mother f#$%er
Tommy DeVito: But, I'm funny how? Funny like a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to f#$%ing amuse you?
