And both films directed by Paul Veerhoeven too. If anyone asks about dark side of the 80s I'd recommended Robocop for its biting social commentary.
Cox was wonderful in the role, "It's only a glitch..."

I thought you were talking about Godzilla
How about Anthony Hopkins?

LOL! When my daughter was just about 7 or 8 years old (early '90s or so) her mom rented 'Silence of the Lambs' thinking it was a kid's movie!

Nah! He was a good guy in Godzilla...
Check out "His Kind of Woman" (where in a twist, Vincent Price was hilarious) or "The Blue Gardenia"

I thought Harmon was good in it too, but then he went back to being cast as good-guy cops and doctors.

That was also a western with Tom Selleck and Virginia Madden in which Harmon played the bad guy and the bad husband of Madsen’s character.

No Way Out, with Kevin Costner (1987).
Another movie that kept me wondering, 'Is he or is he not the bad guy?'. Even in the dying moments of this flick, people are still of trying to decide whether "Tom" was the protagonist or the antagonist.
Take in this at least 4 outta 5 thumbs up movie, and decide which camp you belong in. And no looking at any spoilers/synopsis to help you in your end choice either before/after.
Then, share your take on him...good or bad.

When it ended, although I didn't use the term then, had a WTF moment. I was completely blindsided by it. And my take, he was a mole, , only way it made sense to me.

BUT, the more you read into it...it may not be as you think, eh? I think the ending was one of those...only the "Shadow knows for sure". Others may chime in on whether it is as it appears be, or was it the way it really was. One of the few movies wherein you want to go back to certain scenes or take the whole effort in, just to see if it reaffirms your way of thinking, sways you the other way...or still leaves you up in the air.
Most like a clean, definite endings, but I think the nebulous ones have their place as well.

Yep, maybe...or...?
I enjoy a non-clean ending very much especially if thought provoking. I've got a great list of films to work through from a couple threads here and just added this one to it.

Moving right along, I don`t think that Henry Fonda landed many "bad guy" roles, but he certainly nailed it down in "Once Upon A Time In The West" (A Sergio Leone film, also starring Charles Bronson and Claudia Cardinale).

Even Fred Rogers had his moments on the air.
That is really, really, really creepy. Does he get into an old panel van afterwards and hit the playgrounds?

Here's one that did surprise me, George Clooney in From Dusk Till Dawn. After St. Elsewhere, this was a real change of pace -
