Some movies feature intense violence that really stays with us after the final credits stop rolling. These films use dark intensity, and the most primitive instincts of man, to grab our attention and make us think. Here is our list of top ten violent films –
10. Kill Bill (Vols. 1 & 2)
Quentin Tarantino directed these films with his usual gusto, casting Uma Thurman as the Bride, a vengeful former member of the Deadly Assassination Squad. When The Bride’s ex-lover, Bill, betrays her, turning her wedding day into a scene of epic bloodshed, The Bride vows revenge. These films display Tarantino’s excellent grasp of cinematic pacing, as well as slick, creative martial arts scenes that amp up the visual impact. The first film, and its equally grisly sequel, featured a dizzying pace of violence and aggression, as The Bride continues her quest for the only thing she wants – to kill Bill.
9. Rambo (2008)
John Rambo went back into action in this riveting, blood-soaked action film. Rambo had decided to live a quiet, peaceful life in Thailand, but his conscience led him to assist Christian missionaries as they attempted to aid the Karen people of Burma. The whole Burmese region was a war-torn powder keg of crime, murder, and injustice, and Rambo could no longer look the other way. He took the missionaries upriver to Burma, in his own boat, and they had little idea what bloodshed and horror awaited them there. Rambo tried to protect them, in his own, inimitable fashion. The river journey echoed Heart of Darkness, with its ominous sense of doom, and the battle scenes were harsh and realistic.
8. Saving Private Ryan
Steven Spielberg is a master, able to develop characters and create impact within any context. When he directed Saving Private Ryan, his genius was at its peak. His depictions of the D-Day invasion at Normandy on June 6th, 1944, will go down in history for their gritty realism. As usual, Spielberg tempered the terrible violence that the infantry suffered as they fought for the Allies with a sensitive storyline that made us care about the characters. Excellent casting and superb acting made this very violent film resonate with all of us.
7. Kingdom of Heaven
The bloodshed and brutality of the Crusades is the backdrop in Ridley Scott’s epic adventure film, Kingdom of Heaven. A simple blacksmith, played by Orlando Bloom, finds out his father is a Knight, who is traveling on horseback to Jerusalem. His father invites him to go on the quest, but Bloom’s character, Balian, refuses. Only after Balian kills a village priest does he agree to go along. Eventually, Balian becomes a protector of Jerusalem, fighting against the Saracen king, Saladin, and his strong army. Ridley Scott creates a visually dazzling world full of swordfights and hand-to-hand combat, set within the Holy Land itself.
6. Natural Born Killers
Mickey and Mallory don’t kill for profit, or politics: they do it because it feels good. In Natural Born Killers, the male/female duo, played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, begin a gruesome killing spree, down Route 666, as their sociopathic desires drive them onward. As Mickey and Mallory continue to kill, they become a media sensation. This dark, satiric film, directed by Oliver Stone, aims the spotlight at America’s unhealthy fascination with crime, murder, and serial killers.
5. War Of The Worlds
Steven Spielberg attempted to faithfully capture the vision and genius of H.G. Well’s novel (The War Of The Worlds) in this tense, taut film. The terror, indecision, and even selfishness, of humankind were underscored as the aliens began their massive invasion of the planet. Tom Cruise did an excellent job in this film, playing a character who grew and matured into a protector and a hero, from more immature beginnings. The gory violence and dripping blood that seemed to pervade this film was frightening and disturbing. In fact, some critics and moviegoers were shocked at how very dark this film was. 4.) Troy Helen Of Troy is best known in myth and history as “the face that launched a thousand ships”. Her beauty brought forth the passion in Paris, the Prince of Troy. By giving into his love for Helen, who was married to King Menelaus, and taking her to Troy, Paris set an epic battle in motion. The forces of King Menelaus and his powerful, royal brother amassed to seek revenge. In this film, legions of Greeks and Trojans fell to their deaths as the two armies fought for dominance. This long, involved tale also featured Brad Pitt and Eric Bana as hunky soldiers (Achilles and Prince Hector). Girly Orlando Bloom played Paris, The Prince of Troy.
3. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Return Of The King – Return of the King begins with the search for Mordor. Frodo and Sam use the Gollum to guide them, and the relationship between the two Hobbits suffers accordingly. Sam does not trust the Gollum, and Frodo seems to grow ever closer to the strange creature. In time, Frodo faces the true nature of the Gollum and hurls him into a crevasse. From these tense beginnings, Return of The King becomes an even darker quest, as our heroes attempt to reach Mount Doom. Many battles and many fierce creatures await the Hobbits as they face betrayal, great armies of bloodthirsty Orcs, and the power of the Ring.
2. Gladiator
This film was a triumph, a perfect blending of plot, atmosphere, action and dimensional characters. Director Ridley Scott created an eerie, ethereal atmosphere in the opening battle sequence, with amazing cinematography and stunning realism. Russell Crowe brought a rugged, believable quality to his portrayal of Maximus. As well, a stellar performance by Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus, the bitter, jealous son of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, was a highlight of this violent spectacle.
1. 300
The director of 300, Zak Snyder, also directed the remake of Dawn Of The Dead in 2004. His experience in the horror genre was put to good use during this adaptation of Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s graphic novel. Bloody combat and the war cry of “Sparta” were the heart of this film, which told the story of the Battle of Thermopylae, in 480 B.C. Gerard Butler displayed his range as he portrayed the King of Sparta, who leads his army against the advancing Persians. This role represented a real change from past roles he played, such as The Phantom Of The Opera. In 300, epic bloodshed is the price that must be paid for a more democratic future.
Sure, we know that people change their names from time to time, but while some are obvious, not all of them are. Here are fifteen celebrities and the names they were actually born with.
Alan Alda
Believe it or not, Hawkeye was actually born Alphonso D’Abruzzo. Alan Alda just rolls off the tongue a bit easier.
Cary Grant
I was not aware that he was born Archibald Leach. I like Cary Grant better.
Charlie Sheen
His relation to Emilio Estevez makes a lot more sense when you find out Charlie was born Carlos Irwin Estevez.
Chuck Norris
Surprise! Real name – Carlos Ray Norris.
Ginger Rogers
I don’t really see what’s wrong with Virginia McMath myself, but then I wasn’t born with the name.
Jack Black
Not much of a change for Thomas Black, Jr.
Jamie Foxx
I wasn’t surprised that he’d changed his name, I was surprised to find out it used to be Eric Marlon Bishop. That’s a big change.
John Wayne
This was disappointing to find out. The Duke was really Marion Morrison?
Katy Perry
She was actually born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, but took her mother’s maiden name as she figured one Kate Hudson was probably enough.
Kirk Douglas
Another personal shocker to be honest. Spartacus was born Issur Danielovitch. Good choice on the change.
Marilyn Monroe
Everybody knows that the original Playmate was born Norma Jean Baker.
Nicolas Cage
Not wanting to make his way through Hollywood off his famous real name, Cage changed it from Nicolas Kim Coppola. Yeah, as in Francis Ford.
Tom Cruise
Regardless of your opinion of him, you have to admit that Tom Cruise is better than Thomas Mapother IV.
Vin Diesel
Wasn’t surprised to find his real name, only that Vincent wasn’t his first name. Mr. Fast and Furious was actually born Mark Sinclair Vincent.
Whoopi Goldberg
Another big change on the original. Goldberg was born Caryn Johnson.
Shamus, sleuth, gumshoe, P.I., private eye, private dick… We have so many names for detectives and so many great characters in literature, movies, television, and radio. Anne Iredale’s Top 10 Literary Detectives inspired this list. It made me think of all of the great TV detectives. According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, the earliest TV detective shows were “Man Against Crime (1949-56, CBS, NBC, Dumont) and Martin Kane, Private Eye (1949-54, NBC).” They also classify TV detectives into three classic characters inspired by fiction: the hard-boiled detective, the clever puzzle-solver, and the amateur detective duo.
The mystery of the top ten TV detectives… this was a hard case to crack. There are many wonderful characters spanning sixty years of television, so I came up with some guidelines to help me narrow the list of suspects. The detectives listed all meet the following three criteria: they are private investigators, not police detectives (sorry Columbo and Cannon, we still love you) and they were created for TV (not originally from a book series or movie… disqualifying Mike Hammer, among others). I have also restricted this list to US programs only. While I was researching this list I found many interesting TV detectives from all over the world, but since I haven’t seen any of these shows I didn’t feel qualified to rate them.
10. Barnaby Jones
Buddy Ebsen played Barnaby Jones in the TV series of the same name. It was a spinoff from another popular detective show, Cannon (“TVs fattest PI” according to magicdragon.com).
At the beginning of the series, Barnaby Jones comes out of retirement after his son (who has taken over his private investigation agency) is murdered. Unlike other detectives on this list, Barnaby Jones has his own crime lab in his house. Prior to his career as a private investigator, he was “an expert in forensics with the special fields: forensic chemistry, clinical psychology, forensic medicine, toxicology and criminology” (actorbuddyebseninfo.com). He uses his home laboratory to solve the case in many episodes… a veritable DIY CSI. Cool crimelab aside, Barnaby Jones is a bit of a square (just like Buddy Ebsen’s other famous character Jed Clampett). According to superseventies.com, Barnaby Jones’ “keen analytic skills were often masked by a homespun exterior, drawing guilty parties into a false sense of security that led to their downfall.” Not one of my favorites, but he’s making it onto the list because the show ran for 7 years (1973-1980). He gets mentioned in a South Park episode, which is pretty cool. He also has a Facebook fan page called “Forever Barnaby”, but he only has 4 fans so far. If you’re a fan, throw Jones a bone and become a fan on Facebook.
You can also visit the unofficial Barnaby Jones site for more information.
9. Jessica Fletcher
Angela Lansbury played Jessica Fletcher, an amateur detective who writes mystery novels. Murder, She Wrote aired from 1984-1996 on CBS. That’s 12 long years if you’re not a big fan of the show (I fall into this category). Fans were also treated to four TV movies over the next 6 years. I prefer another mystery-author-slash-amateur-detective: Rick Castle. He’s one of the newest detective characters to appear on TV (too new to earn a spot on this list). He’s a lot of fun and the show’s writing is good so hopefully he’ll stick around long enough to be remembered years from now. Instead, Jessica Fletcher definitely belongs in this spot as a result of Lansbury’s acting talent and the popularity (and longevity) of the show.
8. Joseph R “Joe” Mannix
Mike Connors played Joe Mannix, a Los Angeles private detective, in the popular TV series Mannix that ran for 8 years (1967 – 1975). Joe Mannix is an army veteran and ex-mercenary. He works for a large detective agency during the first season but then investigates on his own, or with his secretary Peggy Fair, for the remaining duration of the series. Many TV detectives are identified with one particular car. Columbo had his Peugeot, Magnum had his Ferrari, and Rockford had his Firebird. However, Mannix drove several different cars throughout the series’ run: a Mercury Comet, Dodge Dart, Plymouth Cuda, Dodge Challenger, and a Chevrolet Camaro. Mannix was “one of the most violent series in TV history” according to imdb.com, describing it as ““lots and lots of fist fights and dead people.” (imdb.com). Joe Mannix seems to be seriously injured in every episode – knocked out, and sometimes even shot.
7. Veronica Mars
Veronica Mars, played by Kristen Bell, is the newest character on the list (the TV show by the same name aired from 2004 – 2007). In contrast to most of the female TV detectives in the past, Veronica Mars does not need a male partner to attract clients. In fact, she is so clever, courageous, and resourceful that she often outwits and out-sleuths the local sheriff’s office and her ex-sheriff dad. Did I mention that she is a high school student for the first two years of the series’ three seasons? Veronica Mars has all of the best characteristics of a hard-boiled detective: she is witty, quick thinking, brave, and she lives by her own moral code. She has a difficult, even scandalous, past and she’s a loner. Veronica Mars has earned this spot on the list due to her creator’s ability to reinterpret a classic detective character so successfully, morphing the hard-boiled detective originating in pulp fiction into a new genre: teen film noir. This, combined with the talent involved in every aspect of this production, places her here at 7th place.
6. Jennifer and Jonathan Hart
Check out the credits to Hart to Hart (above) for an excellent example of 1980’s TV: the action, the acting, Mark Snow’s funky theme music, not to mention the hair and the clothes. It’s totally excellent! The title characters in the TV series Hart to Hart fit perfectly into the third type of classic detective characters I described in the introduction: the amateur detective duo. Like most of these types of PI partners, they are a man and a woman (in this case, a Mr. and Mrs.) and the sexual chemistry between them is impossible to miss. Like the original classic detective couple, Nick and Nora Charles from the book The Thin Man, they are also very rich and they have a pet dog.
Jonathan Hart (Robert Wagner) is a self-made millionaire and Jennifer (Stefanie Powers) is a successful journalist. Lionel Stander plays Max, their butler, cook, and chauffeur. According to the opening sequence, he “take[s] care of both of them, which ain’t easy, because when they met- it was murder.” The show first aired in 1979 and ran for 5 years. Nine years later, they appeared in the first of six Hart to Hart TV movies (the last one aired in 1996). According to tv.com, “Hart to Hart is still airing in syndication in over 60 countries worldwide.”
5. Remington Steele and Laura Holt
The show ran for five years from 1982 to 1987 but the premise sounds more like a TV show from the 50’s than the 80’s. Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) discovers that no one wants to hire a female detective so she invents an imaginary boss, Remington Steele. Pierce Brosnan’s character shows up in the pilot episode to impersonate him. According to thrillingdetective.com, “in the original concept, Remington Steele wasn’t even going to exist.” However, the studio executives were unwilling to place their confidence in a female detective (not unlike the clients on the TV show). A role was created for a Remington Steele character rather than an imaginary boss who would never actually appear on the show “only after NBC insisted on a male lead” (thrillingdetective.com). Pierce Brosnan made the role of Remington Steele so memorable – he was perfect as the mysterious, handsome, charming, slightly bumbling, and rather dangerous con man. The same characteristics that made Brosnan such an effective James Bond eight years after the Remington Steele Agency closed its doors forever.
4. Thomas Magnum
I recently tried to watch Magnum PI episodes airing as reruns and could not sit through them. It was so disappointing because I loved the show when it aired in the 1980’s. One timeless aspect of the TV show is the all around hotness of Tom Selleck during his Magnum PI years. I mean, look at him! Although his big dumb mustache and un-waxed chest dates him back to the 80’s, he is still a hunk.
Magnum PI ran for eight years (1980-1988) on CBS. The popularity of the show, and the macho yet cuddly Selleck earns it 4th place on this list. Writer Alan Vanneman agrees that this show does not age well (unlike Selleck, who is still very handsome by the way). Read his article ‘Tight Pants in Paradise” for his critique of the show, including some very interesting information about how the original story idea evolved into the Magnum PI we are familiar with today.
3. Peter Gunn
When you hear the name “Peter Gunn” you probably think of the famous song that has been covered by everyone from Quincy Jones to the Cramps; however, the Henry Mancini hit that won an Emmy and two Grammys was actually the theme for a TV show by the same name. The title character, played by Craig Stevens, is a slightly different take on the hard-boiled detective. Peter Gunn is “a sophisticated hipster, a dapper dresser who loved cool jazz” (Wikipedia). His girlfriend is a singer at his favorite hangout, a local jazz club called Mother’s. Jazz music pervades every episode, accentuating the action and famous jazz musicians also make cameo appearances. Peter Gunn only ran for three years but long enough to influence TV show soundtracks, inspiring studios to move away from the uninspired generic music used at the time. Peter Gunn also inspired the cleaned-up and dressed-up detectives of TV’s future, characters who would look comfortable in a tuxedo and who preferred martinis to bourbon out of a paper bag. Jonathan Hart and Remington Steele are good examples.
The visual style, famous song, and influence of the show all lead to its place here on this list.
2. David Addison and Madeline “Maddie” Hayes
According to thrillingdetective.com, Remington Steele’s producer “left after one season, to create Moonlighting, which was remarkably similar”. I disagree about the similarities between the two shows aside from sparks flying between a male and female who engage in fast and flirty dialogue. Another similarity: both shows also introduce male actors who become extremely successful in film franchises in the future (James Bond, Die Hard).
Remington Steele had Doris Roberts (later famous for her role as the mom in Everybody Love’s Raymond) but Moonlighting’s supporting cast sends the show into the TV classics stratosphere. Miss Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) is delightful as the rhyming receptionist and Bert Viola (Curtis Armstrong) is brilliant as the accounting temp who becomes a full-time investigator and DiPesto’s boyfriend. These two actors are the ideal opposites of the perfect (and perfectly icy) Cybill Shepherd and cool Bruce Willis.
1. Jim Rockford
James Garner plays Jim Rockford, main character in TheRockford Files. The show first aired in 1974 and continues to be popular worldwide (debuting in Hungary as recently as 2004, according to imdb.com). The Rockford Files ran for 6 years on NBC and “is in constant syndication to the present day” (Wikipedia). James Scott Rockford (“Jim”, “Jimmy”, “Jimbo”) becomes a private investigator after receiving a pardon five years into a stint at San Quentin (he has been wrongfully convicted for armed robbery).
Rockford has a past and he’s seen better days, much like Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, and other classic hard-boiled characters in fiction. Yet Rockford is a very unique detective – he doesn’t really fit in to the hard-boiled detective category. If anything he seems more like Humphrey Bogart’s classic depiction of film noir characters. Like Bogart’s Rick (Casablanca), Steve (To Have and Have Not), and Bogart’s version of Marlowe (The Big Sleep) and Spade (The Maltese Falcon), James Garner’s character always tries to talk himself out of situations first before he fights. Also unlike the traditional hard-boiled detective: he doesn’t usually carry a gun, he avoids danger when possible, and his fees are quite high. (Despite he $200 a day fee, his sporadic employment only allows for a beat up trailer for a home office, cheap plaid suits, and an answering machine for a secretary.) The supporting cast improves a TV show that is already blessed with a talented actor in an interesting, well-developed role and a team of fantastic writers. Mysterynet.com credits The Rockford Files with “some of the most unforgettable supporting characters in television history.” Jim’s dad, a slew of ex-cons from Jim’s prison days, and other colourful characters bring unsolved cases, along with depth and comic relief to the shows. Angel (played by Stuart Margolin) is most memorable, but Isaac Hayes also makes an appearance as Gandolph Fitch, and Rita Moreno plays prostitute Rita Capkovic. Please go to mysterynet.com’s article “The Rockford Files: Not Your Regular Hero” for more information about the show.
2010 saw the release of either another season of a sitcom or a whole new sitcom itself. Here are some of the top 10 Television Series of 2010.
1. How I Met Your Mother
The 6th season of How I Met Your Mother was released in the month of September this year. This series does not stop keeping its viewing happy at all. How i met your mother is still going strong with strong number of viewers as they continue to deliver this comedy filled show. This season sees the addition of another constant cast to the already fun group. Jennifer Morrison gets a permanent placement this season. The season 6 is full of surprises and laughs and takes this fun show to the top of the list.
2. The Big Bang Theory
Not far behind How I Met Your Mother is The Big Bang Theory, a show about 4 science geeks and a hot feminine neighbour. This famous comedy sitcom was renewed for its fourth season and it premiered on the 4th of November. The Big Bang Theorys fourth season is considered the best among all its seasons as the comedy reaches another level. The Big Bang Theory is a fun sitcom to watch with an Indian and 3 american science geeks as friends who have a hot neighbour included in their group
3. The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is another new television series that was released in the year 2010. It is an American post apocalyptic horror television series that was premiered on the AMC network on October. The first season has only 6 episodes and by that itself was voted the best new series in 2010. AMC has renewed the series for another thirteen episodes and will be aired on 2011. The Walking Dead is altogether a great horror series.
4. Nikita
Nikita is an all new American television drama that was released in the month of September. It airs on the CW Television Network. Nikita is about a spy and assassin who has gone rogue after finding out the true colours of the government agency she worked for. Nikita is on a mission to bring down Division, the corrupt government agency. Nikita stars Maggie Q as Nikita, Shane West as Michael and Lyndsy Fonseca as Alex who is Nikitas spy within division. Nikitas episodes become better and better and so does the action and plot.
5. 90210
The famous teen drama was renewed for a third season this year. This year saw the introduction of many recurring characters in this series, which means more stories and more drama. There are many twists and turns in this season with Ryan becoming a dad, Annies mom working for Jen as an assistant, Ted turning gay, Naomis rape, etc.. 90210 has won many teen choice awards this year, making this the best teen show of 2010.
6. The Vampire Diaries
The famous American supernatural horror drama series which was battling the HBO True Blood series, is back again this year with the second season. Vampire movies and series are like one addiction to supernatural genre fans. The Vampire Diaries won numerous Teen Choice and People Choice awards. With great story, characters and supernatural abilities, The Vampi re Diaires is a great watch.
7. Glee
Glee is a super hit musical comedy drama television series in the United States that airs on Fox Channel. It is television series where the center is on the high school glee club that aims on going big. After the first successful season, it was renewed for the second season that was aired on September. Neil Patrick Harris also appeared on glee as a guest star. Glee got noimated for five Golden Globe Awards, won and got nominated in many other awards. Glee also stars for its soundtracks that have been doing really well.
8. Dexter
One of the most impressive series in the year 2010, was Dexter. The episodes are made with such genius minds. The story, acting and plot is simply incredible. Dexter is a crime drama about a forensic bloodstain pattern analyst for the Miami Metro PD during the day and a serial killer by night. Dexter was critically acclaimed and was so popular and brilliant that a game based on Dexter was made and Dexter Merchandise was made. Dexter is a great series for those who appreciates genius movies
9. Gossip Girl
Gossip girl is famous among the teenage females of the world. This American teen television series is based on the book series of the same name. Gossip girl airs on The CW. Currently the fourth season is running and is going great with the females. Gossip Girl was initally received mixed reviews but as the episodes went by, it got positive reviews. Gossip girl was nominated for many Teen Choice awards and won most of them.
10. Supernatural
Supernatural is another American drama and horror television series that airs on The CW. It is one of The CW’s popular series of all time. Due to the impressive ratings in the 4th and 5th seasons, the creator pushed Supernatural to the 6th season. The shows popularity went on increasing and it went on to receive many awards from different organisations. Merchandise were sold based on this series and also a Japanese anime was made based on this series.
Everyone knows that machete wielding, hockey fan Jason Voorhees dismembered most of the sexy teenagers in the Friday the 13th movies, but many forget that his sweet, old mom did the killing in the first film of the series. Actress Betsy Palmer never had another big movie role, but she is a staple at sci-fi and horror conventions.
9. Xenia Onatopp
Her name may not be as memorable as other famous Bond vixens like Pussy Galore, but GoldenEye’s Russian assassin’s style of killing was unforgettable. After she seduced an unsuspecting, and very excited, guy into her bed, she’d crush him to death with her powerful thighs. What a way to go.
8. The Wicked Witch of the West
After that stupid hillbilly Dorothy dropped a house on her sister, the Wicked Witch of the West vowed to get medieval on her ass. And whether she was burning scarecrows, torturing midgets or commanding an army of flying monkeys, she proved she wasn’t one to be messed with. Too bad all it took to kill her was a bottle of Aquafina.
7. O-Ren Ishii
Despite being an American-born woman, this former assassin rose to the top of the Tokyo Yakuza by being the most cold-blooded killer of them all. The Bride’s deadliest opponent in Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Lucy Liu was so good in this role we almost forgave her for Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.
6. Nurse Mildred Ratched
Actress Louise Fletcher was so convincing as the evil head nurse of the Salem, Oregon Mental Hospital in the 1975 classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest that she won an Oscar for Best Actress. A cold, cruel dictator, Nurse Ratched never has to raise her voice to threaten the all-male population. Instead, she controls their pills, their television and, ultimately, their minds.
5. Annie Wilkes
Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her role as a psychotic fan in Misery, a creepy adaptation of Stephen King’s novel. Posing as a nurse, Wilkes helps novelist Paul Sheldon recuperate after a car wreck snaps his legs. Yet, it becomes clear in this unforgettable scene that the crash wasn’t an accident and Sheldon won’t be able to escape—on foot at least.
4. Alien Queen
Ripley, Bishop and Newt thought they were safe when they escaped the alien colony at the end of James Cameron’s Aliens. Yet, they soon realize they’re far from it when the Alien Queen appears and rips Bishop in half. Ripley must break out a piece of heavy construction equipment called the Power Loader to combat the Queen in this classic scene.
3. Catherine Tramell
As a bisexual novelist who killed men with an ice pick, Sharon Stone created her most memorable role in 1992’s Basic Instinct. We’d love to show you the movie’s most famous scene, but our lawyers wouldn’t allow it, so you get this instead.
2. Catwoman
This sexy villain has been portrayed by everyone from Eartha Kitt in the Batman television series to Halle Berry in an embarrassingly bad 2004 film, but the fatal feline we love the best is Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns. Clad in a leather bodysuit, the Cat stole the Bat’s heart while she kicked his ass. Like she says, ‘Life’s a bitch, now so am I.’
1. Alex Forrest
The film that made one night stands frightening, 1987’s Fatal Attraction proved that Michael Douglas had no luck with women. After cheating on his wife with the sexy, but crazy Alex (Glenn Close), he ends up wishing he’d kept it in his pants. Alex begins stalking his family and doing crazy things—like boiling his kid’s rabbit. It’s not long before one of them ends up dead. Forget witches and aliens, there’s nothing scarier than a woman scorned.
