Villains have always been and will always be some of the most fascinating and memorable characters in the world of genre film. Here we will take a look at the greatest villains of cinema from the 1990’s.
The criteria for this article is the same as in my previous articles Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970’s and Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1980’s: the villains must be from live-action films-no animated features-and must pose some type of direct of indirect lethal threat. The villains can either be individuals or small groups that act as one unit.
The villains must be human or human in appearance. Also, individuals that are the central protagonists/antiheroes of their respective films were excluded.

Recipient of the Nyu Tisch School of the Arts fellowship, director John Ryan Johnson's upcoming feature documentary Dreams Don't Die follows Antoine Hood II, a Us Air Force Captain, who works a desk job by day, and pursues his childhood dream of playing professional basketball in the NBA. One problem is that Hood graduated from college 6 years ago (although he was an NBA prospect at the time), and is now the same age as many NBA veterans. However, none of that has been a deterrence to Antoine's pursuit of his dream. Having recently signed with a well known sports agent, and in the best physical shape of his life, Antoine is primed to make yet another run at...

The Tom Clancy books focusing on CIA agent, John Ryan that spawned movies, The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears are all in my list of all-time favourite action movies. The books that Clancy has written were all be converted from the page to the screen brilliantly. They’ve also had excellent casts with high profile actors playing the lead role of Jack Ryan.
Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck have all played the part and today, Variety are reporting that next to take on the lead is Captain Kirk…. I mean Chris Pine!!
The movie has no name as yet but the two books that haven’t yet been made into movies are ‘Red Rabbit’, about a plot to kill the Pope; and ‘The Cardinal of the Kremlin’, where Ryan is still a CIA analyst working his way up the ranks.
