    His best bad-guy role is Caligula in I, Claudius.
    RIP John Hurt (1940-2017)

      I completely agree with you. Actually, I think nearly everyone in "I, Claudius" was seen at their very best.

            He shows such versatility in "I Claudius", mad one moment, suddenly sane, yet unpredictable and thus untrustworthy. I would watch it again from start to finish (or even just his scenes), but I just watched it again 2 months ago (second time within a year).
            I like his portrayal of Caligula more than Malcolm McDowall's, although everything about that film was just repulsive.

              What about as Victor Foss, the nasty casino owner in "Owning Mahowny"? It starred Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
              The character of Foss really stood out for his snarling brutality.

                10 Rillington Place. Creepy bad.

                  No, that was Richard Attenborough.

                    The Black Cauldron is pretty bad, but he's great in it as The Horned King. I remember seeing it as a kid, and he was the only thing Ida0 liked about it. It's only a voice-role, but he steals every scene he's in.

                      I forgot about The Black Cauldron. That was a bad film but I had a love/hate outlook on the Creeper's character. He was funny and annoying all the same.

                        Yes, he was really sad and pathetic in "!0 Rillington Place". He was so tragic when he kept on forlornly reiterating "Christie done it."

                            A Man For All Seasons is an award winning film: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. This film was one of John Hurt's earliest film performances in which he played a greedy, backstabbing, power grabbing social climber. An all around great film and a must see!
