10 Biggest Movie Douchebags From The 80s

2. Biff Tannen - Back to the Future

Thomas F. Wilson has played so many versions of the same douchebag it's difficult to keep up, for his unforgettable portrayal of the brutish idiot Biff Tannen is one of the all-time douchebags not just of 80s cinema, but movie history entirely. In his younger high school stages, Biff was a thug, keen to force himself on Marty's future mother Lorraine, until Marty convinced his future father George to stand up for himself and in effect secure Marty's future. However, in various timelines, an older Biff commits murder (killing Marty's father and marrying his mother), invests in environmentally hazardous pursuits, uses the sports almanac to cheat on betting (though to be honest, I'd do that too), and perhaps most egregiously of all, helps President Nixon secure a fifth term in office. With his famous lines like "What are you lookin' at, butthead?", "Make like a tree...and get outta here" and "I hate manure!", he's one of cinema's premiere, unforgettable douchebags, though arguably goes far enough that he just might be a flat-out a**hole as well...
