Who's the Best Movie Villain of All Time?

It doesn't have to be a supervillain either..

Anton Chigurh is my favorite

Bad acting.

Actually, John Doe or Keyser Soze/Verbal Kint.....because they won.

Palpatine

Lisa from The Room

Freddy Krueger for movies.

Larry from American Horror Story for TV shows.

My favs:

1. Darth Vader

2. Alexander De Large

3. Jason Voorhees

4. Heath Ledger's Joker

Darth Vader always

Bella

Always Joker.

Jaiver Bardem character Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old men.

Darth Vader.

Tyler Durden from Fight Club, 'nuff said

Hannibal Lecter.

Well whoever mentioned Kaiser Söze is the man, damn that was a good villain!!!

Health Ledger's Joker and Loki

The Joker??? Tsssshh.

Grand Moff Tarkin from Star Wars. Dude blew up a whole planet and it's population just to get some information.

But my favorite villain from any movie?....Maybe Robert Mitchum's character in 'Night of the Hunter' or 'Cape Fear'...

Joker my man

hmm Loki is the Popular one

Mandarin is the Disappointing one but suppose to be a best movie villain if they follow the comics

Bane

Am I really the first to say this guy?

Michael Corleone

The Joker

Keyzer Soze

@xwraith: Nope.

The agents from Matrix were pretty dope. Of course Smith being the figurehead. They were somehow cooler in part 1 than in subsequent episodes. Actually after Neo "killed" one they lost a lot of steam.

Also: the freaking Terminator!

bump

Clarence Boddicker.

@xwraith: Look at post #5, I know whats up lol.

Vader

Hannibal Lecter, darth vader and norman bates

T-1000

I know who the most underrated is:

Darth Maul, Deadpool, Joker, General Zod, Winter Soldier, Loki, and Shredder.

Vader is popular here lol

Emperor Palpatine.

I don't really see Vader as a "villain" especially when I take into account that he turned against the darkside and fulfilled his destiny as the "Chosen One".

While, Palpatine on the other hand was the devil incarnate through and through, and the evil continued throughout the movies and even in the EU.

A couple of my favourites have been mentioned, so i'll go with:

• Colonel Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds
• Hal-9000 from A Space Odyssey
• Bill Cutting from Gangs of New York

I've always felt that Frank Langella's depiction of Skeletor was horribly underrated.

Going by kill count, feats and pure villainy, Sidious

Emperor Palpatine caused the deaths of millions, the destruction of the Jedi, took over the entire Galaxy causing Galatic peril for decades. He's the actual guy who was pulling the strings of the Empire. He was just pure deceitful (gulled the entire Galactic republic as their Chancellor for over 20 years), unadulterated evil, a Black Hole, the most powerful of the Darkside through and through. He was without remorse and even claimed what he was doing, ironically, was bringing about peace in his thirst for power/domination.

Vader is a lap dog compared to Sidious even in the films and anyone would see that if they used their brains. Without Sidious dying there would've there would have never been a balance brought back to the Force.

Vader, Joker, Loki, whoever directed Green Lantern, Sidious, And i think Ultron could join them

Darth Vader , Joker , Loki,

Roy in Primal Fear

Anton chigurh in No country for old man

Keyser Soze in the usual suspects

John doe in se7en

Loki in Avengers

Peoples Hernandez.

• HAL-9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey): The platonic ideal of "Man vs Machine" villains.
• Hank Quinlan (Touch of Evil): Orson Welles' best performance. Undeniably evil, undeniably pitiful.
• Norman Bates (Psycho): Again, great performance. Just the right level of unsettling throughout the movie.
• Michael Corleone (The Godfather part II): One of my favorite performances ever. Drawn to be a criminal due to his desire to help his family, ends up completely destroying it.
