13) Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men

Javier Bardem brought a quiet, relentless menace to his character Anton Chigurh that terrified audiences. Chigurh wasn’t a typical villain—he was an emotionless hitman with an unsettling moral code, deciding lives with a toss of a coin. Bardem’s flat tone, chilling stare, and robotic movements made Chigurh feel like a force of nature. His brutal killings, such as using a cattle bolt to murder victims, left viewers both horrified and fascinated.
