Vader always wins these. Palpatine was more sadistic though.

Norman Bates (Psycho) vs Frank Booth (Blue Velvet)
Palpatine (Return of the Jedi) vs Col. Walter E. Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
Michael Corleone (The Godfather Trilogy) vs Sauron (The Lord of the Rings)
HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) vs Voldemort (Harry Potter Series)

ROUND 1, BRACKET 2

Alien (Alien) vs The Shark (Jaws)
Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest) vs Darth Vader (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back)
The Joker (The Dark Knight) vs Mr. Glass (Unbreakable)
Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) vs Johnny Friendly (On The Waterfront)

If you can't wait one fricken day in between nominations and voting I render this useless. Plus you didn't establish true rules beforehand therefore I claim myself as another villian, which is a shame, cause I would have liked to do something like this.

I suppose this should be moved into the tournaments forum as well

Alright, alright, I'll wait longer for the voting!

NOTE: Am I the only one who has a problem with Michael Corleone listed as a villain?.. I see him more as an Anti-Hero but hardly villainous & wicked.
This way we could have had a lot of unnecessary entries like Snake Plissken, Travis Bickle, Jack Sparrow, etc..

Anyway, here's my votes.

Well, he's certainly a villain in Part II.
