For me, it's Mercedes McCambridge. She did the voice of Satan in the exorcist.

Anthony Hopkins, Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs.

SciFi always has the best.

HAL 9000
Khan in Star Trek II; 20th century man in Star Trek IV
T-1000 Being a good villain can happen without words
I always though Tarkin was cooler than Vader

Others..
Peter Lorre in 'M'- The guy was just...ewww
Piglet (John Fiedler) in 'A Raisin in the Sun'- Because sometimes villains seem so nice and reasonable and you don't realize that they are villains.
Kenneth Brannagh as Reinhard Heydrich in 'Conspiracy'
The Spacecraft in Apollo 13.

Silly ones...
C. Montgomery Burns
The Grinch
Templeton from Charlotte's Web (Is he really a villain?)
The Troll that ate the Billy Goats Gruff (In my version the troll ate them)
Jafar & Ursula

Have to agree with Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched.

I'll stay in the 70's (still the best movie decade.)

Laurence Olivier as Dr. Szell in Marathon Man. Ruthless.

And my all-time favorite villian:

Andrew Robinson as Scorpio in Dirty Harry.

Legend has it he had trouble getting auditions after the movie because casting directors thought he was really insane and didn't want to be around him!
Amazing performance (as were the others).

The best villain ever:

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in the original Dune movie. I can't remember the actors name, but that dude gave me chills in some of his scenes.

Denzel Washington in Training Day. Funny in a rough way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Henry Fonda in "Once Upon a Time in the West." I think the character's name was Frank.

CHECKMATE!

The guy wastes a whole family, including a little girl and boy, not to mention a cripple. He beats women and I even think he rapes an animal; maybe not that. And then there's the great line he saids to the young Charles Bronson character: "Play your brother a loving tune."

This dude is a piece of #$@%!

AND IT'S HENRY FONDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; come on the guy was Tom Joad. Could you imagine Tom Hanks playing a sadistic murderer? Not likely!

[DWAEJIMORIGUKBAP]

Lee van Cleef as 'Angel Eyes' in 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.' Women, children, he doesn't give a cr*p, he'll kill anyone.

Cathy Bates in 'Misery.'

On a more highbrow note I verilly much like Kenneth Brannagh's 'Lago' in the film adaptation of Othello.

Gary Oldman: The Best Bad Guy of All


The Bottom Line Gary Oldman is a great villain, and has been typecast as such for about ten years...





1991 - JFK: How much more evil a man could Oldman play than Lee Harvey Oswald? Well, this movie shows Oldman as that man who cut JFK's life off very short. It's a pivotal moment in both the film and in real life. This is a great film as directed by Oliver Stone. I recommend it to everybody in that it presents a theory about Kennedy's assasination.

1992 - BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA: Possibly the best hairdo of all, this is also one of Oldman's most disturbing portrayals. He is Prince Vlad Dracula in the story as Stoker had intended it. Uber-director Francis Ford Coppola has created a near-masterpiece with Oldman as the reclusive, lonely vampire. Beautifully shot, I'd recommend this to horror and monster movie lovers alike. Oldman is definitely typecast following this film.

1993 - TRUE ROMANCE: Oldman is a pimp, a bad pimp, in this violent flick. Although his part as the utterly evil sounding Drexl Spivey is brief, it's also pretty important to the film's plot. And, to make matters worse, he must have been at least a bit wimpy to let little ol' Christian Slater knock him off. Funny and twisted, it's good fun for all.

1994 - THE PROFESSIONAL: My favorite film of all time, Oldman plays corrupt cop Norman Stansfield in this Luc Besson masterpiece. Co-starring Natalie Portman as the sole surviving Mathilda from a murdered family and Jean Reno as the "professional," this is one of Oldman's most chilling performances. This is a must see for Oldman fans and movie goers alike. It's tender, touching, violent, and hate-filled all in the same breath.

1995 - MURDER IN THE FIRST: In this true story of a petty criminal who is put in solitary confinement for years, Oldman is an evil warden named Glenn. You learn to hate him for his behaviour and for his lack of respect for humans (like Henry played by Kevin Bacon). Set in Alcatraz and the courtroom, this is an interesting thriller and yet another evil-Oldman part.

1997 - THE FIFTH ELEMENT: Director Luc Besson must have fallen in love with Oldman in "The Professional" to cast him in this colorful, interesting, fun futuristic movie. Oldman is the evil Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg. But Zorg isn't just any other ruthless criminal, noooo....he's a wimpy little dude that has to boss other people around to get his way. And, for that matter, he's got a really strange haircut. Funny, beautiful film.

1997 - AIR FORCE ONE: What's this? Oldman is a Russian bad dude fighting with the US president played by Harrison Ford. Yes! Oldman is Ivan Korshunov . He's a terrorist out for blood and money. He's one bad mamma jamma. Great, action filled film. A definite must-see for action buffs everywhere.

1998 - LOST IN SPACE: A luke warm remake of the television series, Oldman plays Dr. Zachary Smith...bad dude extrodinaire. He's sabotaged the space family Robinson's ship. A pretty decent role in a not-so-good film (although, I have to say I was entertained).

2001 - HANNIBAL: The worst bad guy of all, Mason Verger, is even worse than the reknowned Hannibal Lector. Verger is one of the first victims of Lector. Now, he wants revenge. I didn't even realize this was Oldman until the credits ran. It's difficult to look at his malformed face and listen to his ruined voice, but then again that's what Oldman does best. A great film (despite what some people say). A must see for crime, horror, and movie fans alike.

I agree with Gary Oldman, the guys just oozes malice. How about Frank Stallone as the ladies man in Barfly?

[PatrickBateman]

De niro was good in Cape Fear.
