	Good quiz! "The Great Lie", "The Westerner", "A Fish Called Wanda", "Amadeus", "Reversal of Fortune", and "Jezebel" might also fit here, although the last involves some redemption at the end. Maybe "Raging Bull" and "Elmer Gantry", they're pretty much anti-heroes. By the way, Affliction was '98.

	Thanks for the comment! I looked up "Affliction" on IMDB, by the way. It says 1997. Could you tell me where you got 1998 from?

	@zutluvip: I fully agree "A Fish Called Wanda". Kevin Kline is just hilarious. He should be on here.

	I echo that it is a great quiz, and that Kevin Kline would be a worthy addition ... though I can hardly blame you for not having him here ... it is hard to think of any role that is that funny to be a villain.

	Thanks, everyone, for the comments. Just for you guys, I added a special treat in the form of "1998: Anglophobic diamond thief." Enjoy!

	great quiz.

	Thanks for the addition! Also could see "Unforgiven" here. Re: "Affliction", Wikipedia has led me astray again. It was recognized in the 1998 Oscars (held in 1999), I guess because it didn't see wide release until then. Sorry for that.

	Since "Affliction" wasn't released in the US until 1998 and James Coburn is recognized as Best Supporting Actor for 1998, I think "Affliction" should be listed as a 1998 film.

	2007 was a good year for villainy

	How about Peter Ustinov in "Spartacus", Gig Young in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", and possibly even Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive".
