Aaron Eckhart as Chad,

And it's not even close.

What makes Lando an all-time A-hole? All-time weasely character, perhaps, all-time cheesy portrayal, certainly, but an A-hole? I don't see it man.

The first and probably only character I truly hate in all of fictional cinema. (love John Huston BTW).

NEIDERMEYER!!!!! Classic a-hole. Re-enacted in Twisted Sister videos (WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE?") and on Seinfeld as 'The Maestro'.

As for Kent from Real Genius, he wasn't even number one in that film (and it may not have been the biggest a-hole performance of his career. See The Bachelor Party). William Atherton (The professor, also a huge a-hole in the Die Hard trilogy and Ghostbusters II) may be the greatest a-hole of them all. Guess it all depends on definition.

You mean other than selling out Han and Luke, the heroes of the f-ing Star Wars trilogy? I'll never forgive that slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler.

He doesn't have a choice. Vader and his minions are holding his entire cloud city ransom and he chooses the lesser evil. Then he turns around and rescues Luke and Han from Jabba the Hutt.

Note. I was too young to see Empire Strikes Back when it came out. When Return of the Jedi came out I watched all three in a triple feature, so the shock of Lando's betrayal didn't get to fester within me for more than forty-five minutes or so, which might explain my lack of hatred towards our favorite malt-liquor spokesman.

I'm also pretty sure this thread will require the full "Hollywood Hall Of Fame" treatment at some point.

Let's not forget he did bust Leia and Chewie out of Cloud City, then infiltrated Jabba's palace. He also blew up the second Death Star with some chubby fish-looking dude as his co-pilot. Nah...a true A-hole would never do that.

As for the Star Wars trilogy...Sebulba was a pretty big a-hole. And sandpeople.
