My personal favorite is Anton Chigurh (played by Javier Bardem) from No Country for Old Men. He's both a physical and psychological villain, and portrays it perfectly.

4 star movie all the way. Llewelyn Moss is and equally amazing good guy (or whatever has was, as I suppose the Sheriff was the 'real' good guy), as Chigurh was a bad guy. Almost a perfect movie, IMO.

Llewelyn was a "tragic hero" imo. I agree with your 4 star assessment, that film was the Coen brothers at or near their best. Javier Bardem and his haircut were both perfect in that film. That's a film I look forward to seeing again in 20 years in hopes that it feels close to the experience of seeing it for the first time. So good.
