Top 30 Cinematic Assholes

As moderated by me.
I normally don't care for list threads, but for some reason I'm compelled to start this.
This is a list of assholes. Not bad guys. Not super villains. I generally define an asshole as a character who is arbitrarily mean, selfish, two-faced, or a bully. Plans of world domination and/or destruction do not an asshole make, therefore Darth Vader and Blofeld are out of the running. The blonde kid from The Karate Kid? He's an asshole. Bob Morton from RoboCop? Asshole. Carlos (michael's brother in law) from Godfather? Debatable asshole since he was played for a patsy by a rival gang. He's more like Freido.
I will be judging the validity of choices and eliminating any I see unfit. Once we reach 30 the list is closed. We will then move on to other futile pursuits to fill our lonely hours.
I'll throw the opening pitch-
1) Peter Weller in First Born. Scumbag that moves into single mom Teri Garr's suburban home and treats her two kids like shit. His highest aspiration is to start dealing out of the house. After a knock-down fight with the teenage son, he gets a beat down and is chased from the house like the dog he is. Oh, and Corey Haim whacks the shit out of him with a baseball bat, so he's a pussy too.

Poprob-
Nah, this is a much more specific list. Plus my asshole criteria is far more rigid. Ji-tae Yu is a fucking psycho who sets in motion a plan that he finds completely justifiable. James Cromwell is a dirty cop who has also considered his actions and feels he is in the right and probably thinks he's serving society to a certain extent by playing outside of the rules.
An asshole has no delusions, usually because they never bother examine their own behavior. They just act out of sheer meanness or selfishness. They don't care how their actions affect anyone but themselves.

It's been years, but I'm pretty sure Turturro qualifies. If Michael let Carlos or Freido off the hook, they wouldn't have dreamed of crossing him again.

In chronological order-
1) Peter Wellar, First Born
2) John Turturro, Miller's Crossing
3) Paul Gleason, Breakfast Club
Perhaps a good case can be made for his role in Die Hard, but I always saw him as more of a hard-ass. Plus Agents Johnson & Johnson put him to shame once they arrive. Cocky, uncaring, and even rude to each other ("I was in jr. high, shithead!". His petty, vindictive principal, however, places him firmly in the bully camp. But if someone can make a better case for Die Hard, have at it.)
4) J.T. Walsh, Breakdown
(I agree his scenes at home cement his place here.)
5) Bill Paxton, Weird Science
6) John Goodman, Big Lebowski
7) Clancy Brown, Shawshank Redemption
8) Paul Reiser, Aliens

I agree that Ellis (Die Hard) is much more of the sniveling shit character. You almost pity him at the end when he nervously sips at his Coke. Sure he was a cocky hot-shot, but he was trying to be the hero afterall.
Ironically enough, Andrew, Reiser was going to be my next choice. Sure he was snivelling, but he was a Turturro type in that he was always looking out for his own interests no matter who had to suffer for it. Too bad more Enron cretins couldn't meet the same fate as he.
There's no way Bill The Butcher belongs here. He has an unflinching loyalty to his percieved noble values and respect for his vanquished enemy (Liam Neeson).
I haven't seen Wet Hot American Summer. If someone else votes for Rudd I'll take their word for it.

John Goodman has been contested. I'll remove him for further consideration and allow someone to make a case (yay or nay) for him.
I'm torn between Atherton's Real Genius asshole and his Ghostbusters asshole.

I can give Jones a pass. He was a bitter bumbling fool, but he was really only trying to do his job.

There should be a seperate Top 30 list for the many assholes of James Spader.

He's kind of a stealth asshole, isn't he? He starts out as an total prick. Then gets our sympathies with that story about his wife. But then he makes the guy pull the trigger. Asshole! Kind of makes you wonder if his story was even true...

This is the thing though-
He's already got these kids in detention. He's won. But still he has to twist the knife. Still he has to belittle them even more. Instead of trying to help them (as is his job) he further alienantes them by kicking them when they're down.
Petty. Vindictive. And one bad suit.

8) Goodman Stays!
9) Kevin Spacey, Swimming With Sharks
10) Grand Mof Tarkin, Star Wars
11) Will Atherton, Real Genius
(by a close margin with Ghostbusters and his "Let's us in or I'm calling the INS." in Die Hard. Die Hard is just full of assholes.)
12) Alec Baldwin, Glengarry Glen Ross
(Out of Cellophane's three GGR nominees, Baldwin is the Cadillac of assholes. And we all know that in the world of real estate 2nd and 3rd place only get you steak knives and a pink slip. He's also one of those assholes Andrew Clarke desperately wants to fuck.)
13) Mark Metcalf as Neidermeyer, Animal House

Still considering Paul Rudd.
Wookie- Check out post #4.

"Let's kick some ASSH!"
*gets stuck in traffic two minutes later*

Elijah is definitely going on the list. We may have to poll for Goodman. Some good points have been made for DH Gleason besting BC Gleason.

I'm trying to dig deeper-
Fred McMurray in The Apartment. Such a cad.
