well this changes thing whether playing
a villain or a good guy he was always a
welcome screen presence what do you need
something along the stationary line are
you shorter stay please welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Alan
Rickman performances have you actually
seen this child doctor I’ll check on
every day for this list we’re taking a
look at those performances that show off
this actor at his finest and/or most
memorable though Alan Rickman also tried
his hand at directing we’re focusing on
his performances in front of the camera
here number 10 Judge Turpin Sweeney Todd
the Demon Barber of Fleet Street may the
lord have mercy on yourself to bring one
of the bloodier musicals in existence to
life Tim Burton casts some of his
favorites today mr. Joe seamlessly
joining Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham
Carter is Alan Rickman as the absolute
villain in a world of wrongdoers see you
face again on the street you’ll rue the
day
as Judge Turpin the Englishman revels in
how evil he can be and he must be in
order to set himself apart from the
cannibalistic pie makers and butchering
barbers of this world service them will
hold their custom they all have none of
mine meanwhile Sweeney Todd would be
nothing without Turpin and the film
would be missing the darkness and
villainous flavor that Rickman
effortlessly brings sound of it is one
one thing’s for certain Alan Rickman’s
deep bass voice whether spoken or sung
can cut like a razor so fetch the man
and pumice stone and lend me our most
seductive tone a sprinkling perhaps of
French Columba trust sir I think a shave
number nine Marvin the Paranoid Android
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy
I’ve been talking to the ship’s computer
it hates me this next entry is a little
bit out there in a galaxy far far away
the film may be hard to grasp for those
of us who haven’t been Don the Douglas
Adams sci-fi series that inspired it I
have an exceptionally large mind but
even so Marvin the Paranoid Android with
GPP genuine people personality I’m a
personality prototype you can tell can’t
you is definitely someone we’ve all
known at some time or another incredible
this even worse than I thought it would
be called a terminal kvetch herbai roger
ebert this manically depressed robot was
brought to life by Rickman in a deadpan
fashion that he absolutely mastered
think you ought to know I’m feeling very
depressed one thing to remember if you
ever cross paths with this Android
though it may not want to talk to Marvin
about life that’s life lie
Terrell talk to me number eight Harry
Love Actually Christmas shopping never
an easier a pleasant tough Rickman’s
character isn’t exactly a villain in
this rom-com but we still don’t really
like him right the Christmas party not
my favorite night of the year and you’re
unhappy job to organize however thanks
to Rickman skill we can empathize with
Harry’s choices regardless very position
of Love Actually boasts a star-studded
cast with colliding plots it also sees
the reunion of frequent co-stars Rickman
and Emma Thompson in a story where they
really had to act like they had no
on-screen chemistry whatsoever would you
say knowing life would always be a
little bit worse would you cut and run
good
I’m sorry though he seems too nice to
play a cheating husband going for a
younger woman Rickman manages to bring
an aloof quality to Harry breaking our
hearts as his wife gets wise any chance
of a dance with the boss yeah sure sure
so your boyfriend doesn’t mind in that
scene where Rickman’s buying the
necklace from Rowan Atkinson nail-biting
and unforgettable we’re going to pop it
in the Christmas bonus but I don’t want
our Christmas bugs number seven
Jamie truly madly deeply hobbling the
government if you want to see Alan
Rickman sing and recite Spanish poetry
this is the film for you us yeah done
did to do a mess when Rickman’s
character the cellist Jamie dies his
girlfriend Juliette Stevenson’s Nina is
inconsolable
so Jamie returns as a ghost to liven up
Nina’s world once more it’s sometimes
unclear how both Nina and the audience
are supposed to feel about Jamie who
seems like a nuisance when he lets
friends come over unannounced oh and we
should probably mention that these are
dead friends when his hidden agenda for
his loudest behavior is revealed however
it’s truly heartbreaking you want me to
go no never never never a little bit
number six Metatron Dogma you people
they’re in a movie about it’s not worth
knowing is it so there’s a movie where
Jay and Silent Bob or prophets who have
to stop two angels from exploiting a
loophole in Catholicism Jesus projects a
lot of questions okay and Alan Rickman
is the voice of God now that we can
believe I’m to charge you with a holy
crusade as you may expect Dogma was met
with some controversy but even so it’s
introspective witty and ironically down
to earth just like Rickman and his
character Metatron Rickman’s pardon this
land of misfits is to help drive the
plot along what’s he like God lonely but
funny he’s got a great sense of humor
with his performance being a sarcastic
take on biblical figures for a modern
world he is the exact type of angel we
hope to meet and I tapped her because I
thought we might be able to smoke out
whoever’s behind this but whoever he is
has been clever enough to send some
lackeys after you as opposed just
showing up themselves
number 5 Colonel Brandon Sense and
Sensibility
Miss Dashwood miss Marron I come to
issue an invitation ha Jane Austen this
adaptation of one of her earlier works
sees Rickman as an older suitor to Kate
Winslet’s Marianne the younger sister of
Eleanor as played by Emma Thompson
finally have done so much already
give me an occupation Miss Dashwood or I
shall run mad the sisters and their
mother in typical Austen fashion are at
a disadvantage financially and therefore
their marriage prospects are limited
until they look in the right direction
and ash would never think of me than she
would have moocher Colonel Brandon as
portrayed by Rickman is an honest and
truthful man tell me once and for all is
everything finally resolved between your
sister and mr. will
he’s willing to sacrifice knowledge
about his past mistakes to save the
woman he loves and her family from both
scandal and an unhappy marriage
and the emotion Rickman puts into the
role is what really makes it work
sister seems very happy yes number four
alexander dane galaxy quest if not for
Alan Rickman
the Miss Congeniality of film sets we
think Alexander Dane was more truth than
fiction I was an actual once I mean now
look at me look at me I can’t go out
there and I won’t say that stupid line
one more turn his is the story of an
actor torn from his admirable roots on
the Shakespearean stage to be stuck
forever in a purgatory where he must
repeat his one famed television line
over and over again
Galaxy Quest sees a star-studded cast
portray actors enlisted by a group of
aliens to save their race from impending
doom but Rickman plays Dane as frenzied
morose and just plain cranky you will go
out there I won’t and nothing you say
will make me the show must go on
now give us a final by grabthar’s hammer
you shall be avenged okay
by grabthar’s hammer what a savings
close enough allen number three George
Sheriff of Nottingham Robin Hood Prince
of Thieves
Robin Hood steals money from my pocket
forcing me to hurt the public and they
love him for it put away all utensils
especially the spoons probably the least
critically acclaimed film on this list
but one of the most beloved by audiences
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves is our
guilty pleasure and Alan Rickman lies at
the heart of how awesome it is the story
of Robin Hood would be incomplete
without the government official who
forts him at every turn and here the
sheriff has the added aspirations of
becoming King and replacing Richard the
Lionheart who did it right to simply
slithers into the forest the movie has a
weird blend of gore and darkness but we
can’t help but be captivated by the high
energy hysterically evil Alan Rickman as
the baddest villain who isn’t afraid of
taking names and ruin and holidays and
call off Christmas number two Hans
Gruber diehard do you really think you
have a chance against us mr. cowboy not
only is hans gruber Rickman’s best
villain he’s one of the best villains
ever period i wanted this to be
professional efficient about cooperative
not a lot to ask Gruber is a terrorist
with a brain an accent and a plan shoot
the glass though he doesn’t actually
wear any Bruce Willis fills the shoes of
Gruber’s nemesis John McClane and his
chemistry with Rickman is especially
remarkable considering they spend almost
none of the movie face to face this
casting was a risky move since Willis
was known more for comedy and Rickman
had only done TV at the time do it the
hard way
lucky for them and for us Rickman’s
quintessential portrayal of the foreign
body may die hard the holiday movie
never stop quoting Happy Trails Happy
Trails hands before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions I didn’t want you to god help
you if you don’t even know who you are
stupid girl but fantastic to see you and
I will start by saying since you weren’t
able to make the meeting on Saturday
till you’re done fantastic work what
else do you know the greatest gift in
the world is love only through love can
we enter the gates of heaven you
understand but pride is a sin and you
are so full of pride the first step is
to see if we can create the blue baby
condition in a dog then come up with a
plan of soul I wanted to go to the
country and to the world and it is this
number one severus snape the Harry
Potter franchise I can teach you how to
bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses
while the Harry Potter movies were
spectacularly cast across the board the
standout was Rickman as Snape a
misunderstood figure caught between the
dark and the light vengeance
I hope I’d be the one to catch it
Rickman plays the character with emotion
in depth and is considered the villain
for the majority of the series my father
was a great man
Oh father what else quiet combining his
skill as a bad guy
and his reputation as one of the nicest
actors around Rickman was able to
deliberately and subtly concealed the
true feelings of his character which
made him perfect to play one of the most
tragic figures of the millennial
generation you’ve kept him alive so he
can die a proper man you’ve been raising
him like a pig for slaughter when it
comes down to it his portrayal is
something that we will always remember
