I was thinking about Left Behind 3 and the character that played the AntiChrist in the movie for a minute earlier today and I know that it was an inappropriate thing to think about even if it is a biblical movie (or it may not be I am not fully sure). Please pray that I don't have thoughts like these at all and that others don't have such thoughts.

Prayers for you.

But it's worth mentioning that the enemy suggests inappropriate thoughts to us often, and that is not a sin. What we DO with those thoughts can quickly become sin. The best thing is to learn to recognize that a thought is a problem and immediately put it out of our minds.

A wise man said that you can't help birds flying around overhead, but you can stop them from building a nest in your hair. It's kind of like that.

Short prayers, even repeating the Name of Christ, or reciting a Psalm are often helpful diversionary tactics.

God be with you.

Yes, agree with Anastasia. It's what we do after that original thought. We're to take every thought captive (II Cor 10:5) and renew our minds (Rom 12:2) with His Word such as "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (I John 4:4) "The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." Psa 9:9-10

Praying, too.
