Greatest Movie Villains

What movie villain did the best job of scaring the crap out of you? I nominate Anton Chigurh, the unstoppable hitman from the movie No Country For Old Men, for being so crazy he probably makes other psychopaths wake up screaming :O

Never seen that movie... :/

Darth Vader def wins though...

Gary Oldman in Leon.

I was going to nominate the same.

Darth Vader is such a Villain, he fooled 3 episodes worth of people and aliens that he was the bad guy.

"The Joker" from "The Dark Knight." A complete psycho who wants to light the world on fire just to watch it burn.

I know there are a ton but the first one that pops into my head is from a recent movie. Corny I know but van dam in the expendables 2 was one of those characters you just needed to see get it.

Darth Vader was a great villain. But the Emperor was the real villain of SW. Darth was originally good, then evil, the good at the end. The Emp was always just cold and calculatingly evil.

However, neither of them we ever scary. Darth is a cool villain. He's the kind you'd like to hang out with.

The scariest to me is old school Freddy Krueger. Unless you were the plot device hero, there was no escape. At least you can run away from Jason and Michael Myers.

And while technically not a villain, the original Alien was one of the scariest movies for me growing up.

I suppose I can't find anything scary about an American cartoon villain. Now anime villains, you'll find some right down evil people there.

Title just says greatest villains, not scariest. If we're going scariest, I'd say Gary Oldman as Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula

Pinhead is my favorite.

Anton Chigurh
John Doe (seven)

Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill
Jack Torrence
Norman Bates

I agree.

I didn't choose scary. I don't think most scary or most psychotic make the best villains..... Just crazy antagonists....

I don't know about scariest but my two favorite villains are Scar from Lion King and Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds.

Scar because Jeremy Irons has the GREATEST evil voice. Hans Landa was just a fantastically despicable dude.

John Kramer/Jigsaw

Have to go with Keyser Soze (Kevin Spacey) in Usual Suspects. "The greatest trick the Devil ever played, was convincing everyone he didn't exist."

Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Nobody has said Voldemort yet?

Harry Potter for me ranks up there with Pokemon and Naruto in the "Things That Are Popular But Shouldn't Be" category.

Hi no one!

Al Pacino in Devils Advocate! Not my fav but it definitely deserves some recognition.

"We kill you with kindness." :P

Mugatu and/or Dr. Evil...

No, shh. I like Harry Potter too... although I still wouldn't say Voldemort is the greatest villain out there.

I don't know though. I recently saw Django Unchained and Les Misérables and they were both incredible movies. So, definitely Candie and Stephen made a great "evil" duo and as for Les Mis, the true villain there was the French government which made for a pretty interesting villain, so to speak, as well.

Bruce the shark, the Jaws one, not the Nemo one.

Arnold in The Terminator... nothing like a relentless T-800 to brighten your day! :gj:

I also thoroughly enjoy the T-1000 portrayed by Robert Patrick from T2: Judgment Day. The milk carton scene was sweet! :D

Oh wow greatest villain, not necessarily the scariest. Hmmmmm.

I admit I thought Heath Ledger was a fantastic Joker. Far better than any ever portrayed on screen. People tend to forget how scary comic book villains were meant to be.

I also thought Alfred Molina made a very passable Doc Ock in Spiderman 2. Stephen Lang was a villain everyone could hate in Avatar. Most of the Disney villains were very good at what they were.

Hugo Weaving was a very good villain in The Matrix movies. I liked Samuel Jackson as the villain in Unbreakable. I know there are many more.

I liked Jack over Heath.

Never liked the movie but Tim Curry in Legend.

I'm also a big fan of Leather face.
Original, no remake crap.

Oh I can't believe I forgot about Robert Blake in Lost Hoghway.

Huge Lynch fan :o

Skimmed thu this thread not sure if anyone has mentioned hardy as Bane, found myself actually cheering for him in the movie.

I'm always cheering for the bad guy :p

I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned Pennywise. Maybe it's just me - I don't like clowns anyway. I just really don't like 'em - never have.
