Top Five Movie Villains?

toaster6

Bored. So... who are your top five movie villains of all time?

My rankings:

1. Joker (As seen in Dark Knight, I should probably pick Darth Vader, but there you go.)

2. Darth Vader

3. Boba Fett

4. Tyler Durden

5. Hans Gruber

*Edit to add: No specifics-- just picking the villains you personally like best. Use whatever guidelines you want.

4.) Voldemort
5.) Tybalt from Romeo & Juliet (played by John Leguizamo)

Anton Chigurh - Everything about him is amazing. He's polite, yet completely demented with a strange set of morals he sticks to so much. Also, the sand blaster gun thing? Yeah, awesome.

Hannibal Lecktor - Again, I love the polite respectable villains. He's so charming and amazing, that if I had to be eaten, I'd love to be eaten by him.

Edele & Dez (Running Scared) - Hardly anyone has seen this movie - and you don't see much of what this couple does, actually. You see their home, them interacting with children, their "play room", and you get a sense of what is going on. You later find out what they do to the children, so imagining it is just so much worse. Great movie, by the way.

Jigsaw - Dear god why do I love the smart killers? Jigsaw is one of my favorites. I love Saw 1, and I'll let Saw 2 and 3 slide by... but beyond that... meh. Still, I love the premise of Jigsaw and his method and his even more demented moral set than Anton.

Ryu and/or Park Dong-jin (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) - I love them because who is the villain? Who is a victim of circumstance? Who actually committed the greater atrocity? For anyone who liked "Oldboy", this film is the first in the trilogy. All three are amazing... Lady Vengeance is actually my favorite, but I like these villains more for just the deciding for yourself who is really the villain versus victim.

I like movies. A lot. Especially horror.

edge_dragoncaller

Not in order :

The Joker (Heath Ledger's portrayal was awesome)
The Family from House of 1000 corpses
Hannibal
Darth Vader
Viki from I, Robot

I'm just going to footnote this by saying that Trinity from the TV series Dexter trumps them all

2) Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill "The Butcher" Cutting in Gangs of New York

That is one of my favorite movies SOLELY for that character.

The_Kid84

John Holmes - played by Val Kilmer in Wonderland

Really? I never saw him as a villain I guess in the classical way... Just a drugged out dude

smtillman2

3) Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Se7en

Dang it! I need more than 5. He totally creeped me out in this movie!!!

leejusd

Darth Vader

Krizzo87

bigphatcat

Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Darth Vader
Jack Torrance
The Joker (in any form)
Hans Gruber

Good list!!! I might change the order, but all 5 make it

mariapuhl

The Family from House of 1000 corpses

I saw "Devil's Rejects" BEFORE House of 1000 Corpses, even though timeline wise it happens after it. I LOVED Devils Rejects before I saw House of 1000 Corpses. Now I can't watch Devil's Rejects just because I always think of some of the nastiness in House of 1000 Corpses so it ruins it for me, ha.

Lord Voldemort - Harry Potter

The Evil Queen - Snow White

Freddy Krueger - Nighmare on Elm Street

The Wicked Witch of the West - Wizard of Oz

My favorite though is Scar on The Lion King though because never wastes time exposing his plan, never hesitates... he just takes matters into his own hands and gets **** done

John Holmes - played by Val Kilmer in Wonderland

Really? I never saw him as a villain I guess in the classical way... Just a drugged out dude

Well not only did he, in the movie, participate in bashing people's heads in, he also, in the movie, sent his underage g/f out to settle a dope debt by basically agreeing to be raped and who knows what by the drug king pin..... idk, some pretty bad stuff IMHO

RedBullLiz

Anything with a sexy twist.

The ones where:

- you HAVE to go through with the game - Saw.
- you almost don't care to be killed because he's kinda hot - Terminator.
- you want to join him - Joker.
- you also want the gold - Jafar from Aladdin.
- and most of all, because I love the rush - Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

That chainsaw noise is a turn on.

wolverine66

Not really my favorites, but wanted to throw some new ones out there because there's a lot of overlap

The Warden - Shawshank Redemption
General Zod - Superman 2
Biff - Back to the Future
Dr. Evil - Austin Powers
Gordon Gekko - Wall Street

Edited to add Derek Vinyard - American History X

Oh he was by no means a role model. Lol. But yea cocain and heroin a hell of a drug. Lol.

RipperSB

1. Darth Vader (cuts off his son's hand for misbehaving... that's tough love)
2. Ming the Merciless (had his own daughter imprisioned and tortured)
3. Khan Noonian Singh ("Allow me to introduce you to Ceti Alpha 5's only remaining indigenous life-form.")
4. Col F.E. Cochrane (you can always tell how much of a d!ck the villain is by how loud the applause is when he gets wasted... it was thunderous!)
5. The Violator (John Leguizamo playing just right)

notaperfect10

The Child Catcher - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ... well, scared me when I was little, lol! Probably not quite what you were thinking of!
Col Hans Lander (Christoph Waltz) - Inglorious Basterds
The Creeper - Jeepers Creepers
The Joker - Dark Knight
The Dentist in Marathon Man (Laurence Olivier) ... when he was taking Dustin Hoffman's teeth out ... shiver!
... and Rutger Hauer's worth a mention, in Blade Runner as the replicant ... and as the driver in The Hitcher
... and Richard Attenborough as Pinky in Brighton Rock. Chilling.
