What are the best examples of a male femme fatale in movies? AKA a homme fatale?

Discussion

Title. Handsome dark man who is bound to cause distress or trouble for the party he gets involved with. A male femme fatale

Brad Pitt from Thelma and Louis comes to mind first. Fits all the cirteria.

Dickie from The Talented Mr. Ripley. This one didn't get too happy an ending. Or maybe the homme fatale is Ripley himself?

Maybe not the traditonal type but Mr. Orange from Reservoir Dogs does act as a femme fatale. He brings down an entire mob by endearing himself to Mr. White and screws everyone over. Including himself.

Anyone else? Anything counts.
