&quot;Demons to some, angels to others.&quot; That&#39;s one of the ways we&#39;re introduced to the Cenobites in Hellraiser, horror author and director Clive Barker&#39;s most enduring contribution to the visual lexicon of horror cinema. These &quot;explorers in the further regions of experience&quot; come when you solve a puzzle box called the Lament Configuration, and usually they drag you off to join them in a labyrinth that just might be hell. Not all of the Cenobites in&nbsp;Hellraiser&nbsp;originally had names - not even the &quot;Lead Cenobite,&quot; who came to be known and loved as Pinhead - but they all have&nbsp;nicknames that stuck, and over the course of several movies, a number of other Cenobites were introduced. And&nbsp;between movies, books, and comics, the Cenobites have done some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-cenobites-moments-clive-barker/sabrina-ithal" target="_blank">pretty gruesome things</a>.

What are the Cenobites? In&nbsp;Hellraiser&nbsp;and its sequels,&nbsp;the Cenobites are explained as a&nbsp;sort of monastic order that serves Leviathan and views flesh as something to be modified and sculpted and that seems to draw no distinction between pleasure and pain. Here&#39;s a list of&nbsp;all the nastiest Cenobites from the&nbsp;Hellraiser, ranked by how vile and unpleasant they are. See if you agree!

In order for a villain to be compelling, they need to offer enough of a challenge to the heroes, or they will be boring and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-easy-to-defeat-mcu-villains/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">easily forgotten</a>. Fortunately, the MCU is littered with powerful foes, many of whom are singularly more powerful than the heroes they go up against.

This list of the most tragic and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-deaths-ever/mwahahahaha?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">saddest deaths</a> in kids movies will have you tearing up in no time. These traumatizing movie deaths made a whole generation of children sob and spend their adulthoods trying to sort through their feelings.The fact that these movies were aimed at children or teens did not spare the lives of these poor characters: Mufasa, Artax, Littlefoot's Mother, R.I.P.As a kid, you rarely saw it coming. Even watching some of these movies as adults can still cause grown men to cry. They truly are some of <a href="/crowdranked-list/top-tearjerker-movies-that-make-men-cry">the top tearjerker movies</a>. Who could ever forget poor Simba's face when he realized that Mufasa died? Or the sad scene in My Girl when a young Anna Chlumsky (Vada) cried over the coffin of her <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrity-bffs/celeb-stalker?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best friend</a>, Thomas? The characters on this list can bring you back to these sad scenes in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-childrens-and-kids-movies-on-netflix-instant/polkadotking">kid's movies</a>. There are many sad Disney movies, both cartoon and live action. The saddest scenes in children's movies were either caused by the death of characters that you, as the audience, had grown to love (like Dumbledore) or that other people in the movie loved. For example, the death of Ellie Fredricksen in Up is one of the saddest movie deaths--not necessarily because people cared about Ellie (she was only briefly in the beginning of the movie) but because people could see how much Carl loved her. The deaths of these characters made for sad family movies that were loved by kids and adults alike.

If you&#39;re a fan of scary movies, this is your opportunity to vote for the best final <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/15-sexiest-monsters-in-horror-movie-history/pt_tesla?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">girls in horror movies</a>. A &quot;final girl&quot; is a female character who manages to survive the wrath of the killer -&nbsp;human or otherwise -&nbsp;when most, if not&nbsp;all, of the other characters have been&nbsp;wiped out. Although the term originated in the 1990s, final girls were around for decades before that, such as Laurie Strode in 1978&#39;s Halloween,&nbsp;Sally Hardesty in 1974&#39;s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and Lila Crane in 1960&#39;s Psycho.&nbsp;

Horror movie survivors of this type are most commonly found in slasher flicks. The Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween franchises commonly make use of the final girls trope.&nbsp;Traditionally, these characters tend&nbsp;to be the purest and most&nbsp;virtuous of the group or cast of characters. That&#39;s because, for reasons known only to the filmmakers themselves, the abundance of&nbsp;&#39;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-80s-slasher-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">80s slasher movies</a>&nbsp;usually had&nbsp;the villain&nbsp;target teens who were amorous with each other. Friday the 13th,&nbsp;in particular, was notorious for that.&nbsp;

The threats final girls face are not always psychos wielding knives, machetes, or hooks. They can survive interstellar creatures, as Ellen Ripley does in Alien.&nbsp;What counts is that the final girl gets through the ordeal, leaving her to tell the tale of what happened.

In most movies, there is a clear cut distinction between good and evil characters.&nbsp;But sometimes, as the story unfolds, the lines blur on who&#39;s&nbsp;good or bad and we end up hoping the villain overtakes the hero. Here are some of the most popular movie villains and the reasons that made people jump teams and head to the dark side.&nbsp;

There are all kinds of stories about actors. For example, some actors&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stars-who-passed-on-iconic-hollywood-roles/marc-cuenco" target="_blank">passed on</a>&nbsp;a role in a film or television show, only to see the role become iconic for the actor who&nbsp;did&nbsp;take on the part. Sometimes - like with <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-marvel-actors-got-cast/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">many MCU stars</a>, for example - it takes a bit of persuasion (or luck) to accept the gig. And there are other times where the casting of a role&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/controversial-casting-decisions/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">is controversial</a>&nbsp;- maybe the part was originally played by one actor but then got recast. Or maybe the audience had a particular actor in mind for the role, only to see someone else get the part.

But there are also stories about actors who&nbsp;did&nbsp;take on parts that made them iconic -&nbsp;or for which they are best remembered - but only after they had considered passing on the role. The reasons for their hesitation vary - from not thinking they were right for the part, to not wanting&nbsp;to make the time commitment, to simply not being available when the part was first being cast. But thankfully for film and TV&nbsp;history, these actors ended up deciding to take on the role&nbsp;that helped to define their career.&nbsp;

Whether you love to hate them or just straight-up hate them, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-defeated-without-a-fight/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">movie villains have to be defeated</a> to give a film a satisfying ending. While some bad guys are just tossed off a building or <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hoist-by-their-own-petard-villain-ends/williamsbrianjake" target="_blank">melted by the Ark of the Covenant</a>, other baddies have to endure a fate that&#39;s worse than the painful bliss of nonexistence.

In some cases, the villains pass&nbsp;into the emptiness of the universe, not dead but not alive, and in other instances, they&#39;re simply driven insane by the knowledge that they&#39;ve been truly and finally bested by their nemesis. And some bad guys are just turned into mutant dogs, which is a pretty nasty fate no matter how you look at it.

Which villains suffer the worst fate is a matter of opinion, which is why we need you to decide which one of these evil creeps was given a send-off that was worse than they actually deserved.

The top Harry Potter characters come from a rich universe crafted on the page and adapted to the screen, giving us some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-film-adaptations-of-young-adult-novels/randolph">best movie adaptations from books</a> of all time. Since the Harry Potter universe is one where there are 75 (75!) main characters in the Harry Potter movies and books, there&#39;s little surprise that they are some of the most beloved (and hated) characters of all time.

That said, the question in front of us is &quot;who are the best Harry Potter characters?&quot; and it is a tough one to answer. Do you go for the obvious and choose Harry the hero, or pay respect to Voldemort, one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time">best movie villains of all time</a>? Do you go for brains with Hermione or charm with George &amp; Fred? These are the questions we&#39;re confronted with when attempting to name the greatest Harry Potter characters ever.

Since both the Harry Potter books and movies can be taken into account, it&#39;s up to you to decide if you want to vote for the popular Harry Potter characters as you imagined them or as they were portrayed on screen. Since the books are among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-selling-book-series-of-all-time/jeff419">best selling series of all time</a>, there&#39;s a good chance you&#39;ve read them and can compare notes with the movies. Your choice is yours, though; nobody&#39;s breaking out the Imperius curse so cast your vote for your favorite characters and make vote down the ones you don&#39;t like. And if there&#39;s a supporting Harry Potter character you feel belongs on the list, make sure to add them to this list of the top <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/luckiest-harry-potter-characters/renata-carmen" target="_blank">Harry Potter characters.</a> Of course, if you&#39;re forgetting some of the names or need pictures to jog your memory, you can use the list as a reference.

Every now and then we see a film that makes us question good and evil, right and wrong. The concepts of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-villains-who-were-right/loganrapp" target="_blank">villain and hero</a> are often oversimplifications resulting from the demands of popular narrative. After the conclusion of the Avengers franchise left us missing characters like Loki and Gamora, we started to ask, &quot;Who was the good guy, and who was the bad guy?&quot; Are there moments where these lines can be crossed?&nbsp;The X-Men are notorious for destruction and chaos, but they do it in the name of humanity. Magneto is good in one film, bad in another, and ignored in yet another. Heroic Wolverine comes and goes as a raging drunk antihero, while ostensibly villainous Mystique never sheds what seems to be a certain essential humanity.&nbsp;

In any case, all heroes were once normal individuals who made mistakes en route to becoming heroes. But they don&#39;t always understand the actual destruction they leave in their wake. Here are a few movie heroes who might&nbsp;have been seen as the villain from someone else&#39;s perspective.

The trend of Hollywood pumping out needless origin stories for movie characters that don&rsquo;t really need any further exposition has been going strong for decades now, and it shows no sign of stopping. Sure, some prologue and flashbackery is required in cinematic tale-telling, but there&rsquo;s a wide gap between that and the mountains of unnecessary backstory for characters - often, characters specifically beloved for their mysterious air - which gets invented after the fact and jammed into the existing character we already liked.

This is a trope so prevalent, it&rsquo;s spawned multiple sub-tropes.

Of course, if Harry Potter came over for a playdate, a child might want to hang out. 

Movie children are the ones that say what we are really thinking, or sometimes things that no adult would ever be weird enough to think let alone say out loud. Someone like Huck Finn comes to mind, as he ranks up here against (or perhaps with) Simba from &quot;The Lion King.&quot; both of the &quot;Spy Kids&quot; themselves had to be included, of course, as did tough girls like Hit-Girl and Veruca Salt. Speaking of Miss Salt, Roald Dahl brought us more of the great kid characters in movies thanks to Matilda Wormood and Charlie Buckett.

In the age of the superhero movies, it's easy to forget sometimes that there are tough guys who don't need to hide behind superpowers or a super suit. For every superhero Superman, Batman or even Robocop, we have a James Bond, Han Solo, Jason Bourne and John McClane willing to chase bad guys. These tough guys need to rely only their brains, brawn and the occasional weapon or two to foil the plots of bad guys. Some of the most legendary action heroes are just regular guys, military personnel or cops that get caught up in a tough situation and fight their way out of it.Sometimes that can mean rescuing a group of hostages or even family members or femme fatale. Other times that could be defending someone's honor or even protecting his country from the threat of total annihilation. While having a super powers or super suit would make things infinitely easier for these tough dudes, what makes them so endearing to audiences is that some of the men on this list could be any of us, depending on how we react in a particular situation.Vote for your favorite movie tough guy on this Ultimate List.

The Hunger Games

Who are the best Hunger Games&nbsp;characters? This list includes some of the most popular characters from The Hunger Games&nbsp;book trilogy. Some are obviously main characters, like Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and others are tributes from the various games and/or Panem districts. This list includes both characters from the Hunger Games books and the Hunger Games cast from the movies because, for the most part, the characters are the same.

Which HG&#39;character do you think is the best of all time? Vote for your favorites, vote down any Hunger Games/Catching Fire/Mockingjay&nbsp;characters you didn&#39;t like (or hated, let&#39;s be honest, some are really hate-worthy), and certainly, if your personal favorite isn&#39;t listed, add them so we have a complete Hunger Games character list! You also have the option of re-ranking this list in any order you want. Time to vote, and may the odds be ever in your favor... and when you&#39;re done voting, don&#39;t forget to also check out more <a href="/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-the-hunger-games/watchworthy" target="_blank">shows and movies like The Hunger Games.</a>

Fans of <a href="/list/hunger-games-movie-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes" target="_blank">&#39;The Hunger Games&#39; movies</a> know: The characters are incredibly memorable. Why wouldn&#39;t they be? &#39;The Hunger Games&#39; trilogy is certainly among the <a href="/list/the-13-best-dystopian-novels/ivana-wynn" target="_blank">best dystopian novels ever written</a> (especially in the modern era), and the <a href="/list/full-cast-of-the-hunger-games-actors-and-actresses/reference" target="_blank">&#39;Hunger Games&#39; cast</a> made the first &#39;HG&#39; film come to live in an incredible way.&nbsp;JLaw as Katniss in the movie is one of the&nbsp;<a href="/crowdranked-list/best-movie-characters-of-all-time" target="_blank">best movie characters of all time</a>, don&#39;t you think? 

It would be virtually impossible to make a list of Hunger Games characters without including some of the awesome tributes from the series. Rue, with her sweet nature and that incredible, melodic, haunting voice, is definitely a favorite, as is the clever Foxface (may they both rest in peace) and the hunky, mischievous Finnick Odair from &#39;Catching Fire&#39; and &#39;Mockingjay.&#39;

And, lest we forget, some of the most colorful &#39;Hunger Games&#39; characters are from the Capitol, notably District 12 escort Effie Trinket (always so stylish!), Katniss&#39; stylist, Cinna, and certainly the dastardly, scheming, manipulative, just plain evil President of Panem, Coriolanus Snow.
