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.

    It's hard to say what I'm ranking here: most frightening, favorite in general, most creepy...

    1.) The Joker (Dark Knight specifically)
    2.) Dr Hannibal Lecter
    3.) Cruella Deville (-what? She scared the bejesus out of me!!!)
    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.

    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

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

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

    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
