10. Judge Doom (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)
9. Captain Vidal (Pan's Labyrinth)
8. Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange)
7. Anton Chigurh (No Country For Old Men)
6. Gordon Gekko (Wall Street)
5. Begbie (Trainspotting)
4. Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
3. The Terminator (Terminator 1)
2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
1. Darth Vader (Star Wars Eps 3-6)

1. The Joker (Batman)
2. Captain Barbossa (Pirates of Carribean)
3. Darth Vader (Star Wars)
4. Alien (Aliens)
5. Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street)
6. Ghostface (Scream)
7. Michael Myers (Halloween)
8. Magneto (X-Men)
9. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th)
10. Scarecrow (Batman)

Good list but Scarecrow just wasn't fascinating enough for me. Names like Jason, Alien, Predator were just outside my top 10. Great horror/Scifi villains.

Besides the Joker, Scarecrow is my favorite villain. Joker's humor really adds on to his personality though.

I'm just in love with the whole Alien series, and that's how it got on my top ten. Jason may be a bit obvious, but he is one of the few people that helped shape the slasher flicks.

That's for sure, if it wasn't for Jason and his series of movies would we ever have had Scream?

These threads have been done before, but probably my top two are George C Scott in The Hustler and John Huston in Chinatown. Both money grabbing, impersonal and ammoral capitalistic at it's most cannbalistic extreme. Take all the Darth Vadars and silly Hannibal Lectors you want, they simply just don't compare.

Who knows man, who knows. I know that these old school villains helped shape today's villains.

word.

Some of my favorites:

Alec Baldwin from The Cooler and Miami Blues
Ben Kingsley from Sexy Beast
Kevin Spacey from The Usual Suspects and Se7en
Rutger Hauer from The Hitcher
Louise Fletcher from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

When it comes to villains, I always seem to think of Scorpio from the first Dirty Harry. He was truly ruthless and pathetic at the same time.

Probably the only villain in the history of cinema that actually freaked me out.

For me, hands down it's Javier Bardem as Anton, in No Country for Old Men.

I wouldn't count Gordon Gekko as a villain more as someone who is misunderstood.
And Joker needs to be at the top of your list!

Vader does give Joker a run for his money, but to me Joker is much more interesting.

Joel Schumacher, that guy ruined the 90s for me lol. Seriously, The Joker, Vader, Zod, Magneto, Fernand Mondego, Prince Humperdinck.

Nice avatar, Kinosis, that thing should be in it's own list. I watched the movie when I was younger and it was really disturbing watching that thing move.

My favorite, of course:
