Best Screen Villian?

[dh1989]

Almost every movie has a bad guy, and sometimes we find ourselves loving the villian more than the "hero", at least I personally do. The question I pose is: Who do you think is the single best screen villian? Of course, I can't put them ALL on, but I will put on the ones that come to mind. Please vote.

Is this topic going more towards villians in the Fantasy genre? Because every movie up there except Apacolypse Now could be considered fantasy. If not, I'd have to say that my favorite villian of all time (at least at the moment :D) is Hans Gruber from Die Hard.

That's who I was going to go with...

Darth Vader - Star Wars
Willem Dafoe - Shadow of the Vampire
Jack Nicholson - Batman

Other.

It's a toss up between the T1000 or the T800.

[Razorblade Smile]

Darth Vader.
And I'm talking about the REAL Darth Vader! James Earl Jones baby!

Not this wussy-ass Hayden Christiansen/Jake Lloyd crap.

~Dr. Griffin aka The Invisible Man ("The Invisible Man")
~Max Cady ("Cape Fear". Robert Mitchum baby! DeNiro was a hamster compared to him!!)
~Col. Tavington ("The Patriot")
~The Duke ("Escape From New York")
~Jerry Dandrige ("Fright Night")

[Jerk Shapiro]

From that list, Brando as Kurtz.

Why is Volemont on there? He's not that memorable, and the space could've been used for Bill the Butcher, who gets my vote, closely behind Darth Vader

Voldemort's on there because dh's top two films of all time are HP1 and HP2.

Anyhoo, I think the best villains would have to be ones from hitchcock's movies, especially Robert Walker's Bruno in Strangers on a Train, or Joseph Cotten as Charlie in Shadow of a Doubt.
And let's not forget those dastardly Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I would have to go with Maax from The Beastmaster

[Hannibal21]

OTHER. Hannibal Lecter!

[Nate6]

Darth Vader's all over this one...

[Shockwave]

Darth Vader!! Prob the biggest cinematic villian in history and also one of the coolest.

He kicked the galaxies ass!


Bill the butcher,Hans Gruber and Agent Smith(from the matrix)are all up there for as personal favs of mine as well tho.

Darth Vader, nobody else comes close.
