Bad Boys... By ariannafelidae [40 more lists]

This is a list of films about....good guys gone bad? No, some of these guys were already bad. All of these movies star characters that have no qualms about killing people. Most of them are actually likable guys. You identify with them, and at some point, agree with their decisions. This is one of the many reasons I think cinema is wonderful....

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

CHARACTER: SWEENEY TODD
ACTOR: JOHNNY DEPP

Classic tale of a man who was wrongly accused and lost everything. I guess that means it's revenge time. Oh, yes. Bloody, bloody revenge.

Escape from New York

CHARACTER: SNAKE PLISSKIN
ACTOR: KURT RUSSELL

Everything's gone wrong. Criminals can't be controlled. When the President gets trapped in the world's biggest prison (the entire city of Manhattan), who you gonna call? The most dangerous criminal on earth. Obviously. This series was SO much fun!

American Psycho

CHARACTER: PATRICK BATEMAN
ACTOR: CHRISTIAN BALE

Christian Bale blows us away with his performance as an extremely rich man with everything he can dream of...including his 'hobby' of killing people without any mercy, whatsoever.

Shoot 'em Up

CHARACTER: SMITH
ACTOR: CLIVE OWEN

Who IS this guy?? Do we know? Do we care? No. And do you know why? He is just that badass. He's not even a part of the story unfolding around him, but he's got a gun-and I dare you to get past him.

Oh, yeah. Carrots. Whoo!

Heroes

CHARACTER: NOAH BENNET
ACTOR: JACK COLEMAN

I had a love/hate relationship with this character through the whole 'Heroes' series. Just when you think he's a good guy-he offs someone you really like! Then when you're about to write him off as evil, he saves somebody! Very comic-booky that way... :)

The Boondock Saints

CHARACTERS: MCMANUS BROTHERS
ACTORS: SEAN PATRICK FLANNERY & NORMAN REEDUS

MY FAVORITE FILM OF ALL TIME. Tired of watching the world fall into the hands of corrupt people while everyone around them just sits there and watches, two brothers decide to take matters into their own hands. I give this 20 out of 5 stars. Go buy it. Now.

Dexter

CHARACTER: DEXTER MORGAN

If you haven't watched this show yet, you're missing out. Dexter has a code. A very precise code. Good people live. Bad people die. He's literally a serial killer of serial killers. I would be friends with this guy in a heartbeat.

The Chronicles of Riddick

CHARACTER: RIDDICK
ACTOR: VIN DIESEL

Riddick's sense of 'bad boy-ness' is more of a personality trait than him actually killing people all day long. I still wouldn't want to be on his bad side, though. I thought he deserved a mention. :)

The Devil's Rejects

CHARACTERS: CAPTAIN SPAULDING & OTIS
ACTORS: SID HAIG & BILL MOSELEY

These people were never good people. Chances are they were always evil. What makes me love this movie SO much, though, is how it made me identify with them. Halfway through, I realized I was totally rooting for them. I was almost ashamed. Almost.

Drive Angry

If you haven't seen this yet, give it a try. If you like movies like 'Shoot Em Up' (see below) you will enjoy this over-the-top revenge story. Plus, it's hilarious. A lot.
