    It's funny you say that because despite how stupid and campy it is I love Superman III. It's one of those "It's so bad it's good" movies for me.

    That and Richard Pryor is a legend.

    If you're going to include villains, Josh Brolin was both Thanos in the Avengers films and Cable in Deadpool 2, as well as playing Jonah Hex in a 2010 film.

    And Michael Keaton was both Batman and The Vulture. (He was SO good in that last one.)

    Yes! Josh Brolin is a stud and Michael Keaton has always been one of my favorites. I think he was the 2nd best Batman to date.

    If we are focusing on actors who always play the arch villain kind of thing I think Ralph Fiennes is up there.

    - He played the main Nazi antagonist in Schindler's List
    - He was a serial killer in the Hannibal Lecter movie Red Dragon
    - He was even "He who shall not be named" in Harry Potter

    Whoa ... that's like a step above a Participation Award, isn't it?

    The two best Sherlock Holmes were Basil Rathbone and Jonny Lee Miller although they played them 180 degrees apart. Rathbone's Holmes was a urbane and sophisticated sleuth who used his wits to solve crimes. Miller was a totally unlikable persona who also used his superior intellect and research to solve crimes. I liked his quirkiness and his rather unusual wardrobe. Watson under Rathbone was almost a boob who was more of a foil then an assistant. Joan Watson was eventually close to Sherlock's intellect but to me came across as a transgender Asian!

    Its hard to believe that Jonny Lee Miller was once married to Angelina Jolie.

    One that we missed was Benedict Cumberbatch playing Sherlock Holmes on a British TV series and as Doctor Strange in various movies.
