Favorite movie villian of all time?

Hannibal Lecter has been named top screen villain of all time.
Edited to change my mind and say that Patrick Bateman from American Psycho is the best villian ever,in my opinion.

Still voting for the little red head kid.

The bad guy in Royal Tenenbaums.
...what was his name again?

Francais from Pee Wees Big Adventure

The Nihilists from "The Big Lebowski."

Come on...DARTH VADER!!!!

I 2nd the motion of Ming. The opening of the movie still sends shivers down my spine. "Clytus, I'm Boooored ....' or his laugh at the end of the movie.

Just read the list and here's my thoughts....Darth Vader should be number one villain. I find it interesting that the Terminator is in the top hero AND villain list.and i can't believe William Wallace of Braveheart isn't in the hero list, but Gladiator is. Ellen Ripley should be nubmer two i think...she's one badass woman. Also a noteworthy hero i feel is ignored is Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday from Tombstone.

Hannibal f'ing Lecter??? Give me a damn break. Darth Vader can strangle him from across the damn room.

Jam a light sabre up Lecter's ass and roast him for a feast on Endor... I've seen more frightening Ewoks.

I didn't see the list (I'm lazy that way) but as for villian in a movie, I'd go with Norman Bates from 'Psycho' and the band of hill people (as a group) in 'Deliverance'.

Jack Nicolson as the joker.

"this town needs an enema!"
i picture him saying that at least once everyday

Dude, Max von sydow was a total BADASS as Ming.I mean he DID let Clytus put the Bore-worms his own daughter--and DAMN doesn't she belong on this site!

Jason!
All time kill record. Villain extrodinaire.

I just read the list ... I can't believe Atticus Finch beat out Indiana Jones! Good for the AFI.

On the other hand, those creepy hillpeople didn't even make the list, but Freddy Kreuger did???

There are plenty of overtly evil villains, but I think the best ones are most subtle, and the most destructive. For this one, I'd have to say the antique shop owner in "Something Wicked This Way Comes". True evil is not obvious about its wretchedness. It comes as a friendly, trutable face, that will do everything possible to destroy you where it hurts.

"The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity."

I must agree. You can't beat Tim Curry as Satan. You just can't.

Well, he wasn't the Devil per se, after all, he does call out for the Dark Lord to protect him. He's just the Prince of Darkness or something...

eh hannibal lecter was so corny in silece of the lambs and the newer versions.

now manhunter was the best.

fave villian hmmm.

i could think of a favorite killer, jason best killer of them all he takes pride in his work just killing is not enough to satisfy his taste for human butchery.

favorite present villian - agent smith

damn spellin i try 2 be better next time.

SON OF JOR-EL, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!

aliens the best alien of them all

the movie is still the best scifi action sequel that i can think of.

from horror to action after aliens the reat were crap fest.

aliens vs predator must become a reality

American villains suck ass there so “I want to destroy everything muh ha ha ha” lame. Japanese kung-fu villain’s rawk with there over exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. The sun glasses villain from Brandon Lee’s “Legacy of Rage” is my idol I wanna be just like him when I grow up with a dubbed voice and everything.
