In Drillbit Taylor (which opens tomorrow), three kids hire a low-budget bodyguard (Owen Wilson) to help protect them from the school's bully. This got us thinking: What are some of the great on-screen bullies? Those kids you just love to root against because they're written extremely well, offer up top-notch performances and/or remind you of someone from your past. A bully is different from your average movie villain -- they don't tend to carry lethal weapons, or run with a group of deadly terrorists. These are just regular kids with a little too much power thrown their way. Your run-of-the-mill Hollywood bully usually hangs with a group of about two of three of the same sex; guys or girls who don't have many lines, and serve only to make the main bully appear tougher.
Ideally, a great movie bully should have one or more of the following: 1) At least three classic lines. 2) A memorable downfall. 3) Hottie girlfriend or boyfriend. 4.) A name that just says it all.
We put our heads together and came up with seven of the greatest bullies on film. Check them out after the jump ...

What better time to throw on a long, long movie? I always wind up watching something huge during Thanksgiving weekend -- I particularly recall a carb-coma afternoon with Spartacus washing over me like a river of gravy, rich and flavorful -- and this year is no exception. I don't think I'm going to have enough time to watch 
When a movie is deemed fit for the "Criterion Treatment," you just know you're in for something special. It doesn't matter if your cinematic tastes run from Kurosawa and Lean to Gilliam and Soderbergh (or even *cough* Michael Bay) -- if a film you really adore is earmarked for inclusion in 
Though AMC has definitely lost credibility as far as movie programming goes (I think that great American classic Volcano was on about eight times yesterday), they're picking up some ground when it comes to original programming. Tonight by 10, you'll be all Emmy-ed out, so flip over to AMC for Making Dazed, a documentary tracking the making of and lasting legacy of Richard Linklater's accidental classic, Dazed and Confused. Parker Posey, Ben Affleck and Matthew McConaughey are amongst the interviewees. Making apparently also includes a "lost scene" between Posey and Joey Lauren Adams that never made it to Dazed.
