Best Villains #1: Because good ones make movies even more enjoyable

Magneto (X-Men, X2) - Isn't he cool? Isn't he just the coolest? I love that his motivations aren't without merit and that his acts are basically rooted in fear and sadness. And of course his evil clan in both movies deserve their own space.

The Mummy (The Mummy ) - Aw, he did it all for love... lol Plus he pulled off some pretty neat tricks. Good villain.

Chad & Howard (In the Company of Men) - How can anyone be so cruel??? This movie is a slap in the face for a person like me who feels that women are strong enough to stop cold any man that doesn't feel right. But they were so cold, and so good at it that they made for great targets of fierce hatred

Joe Mantegna's character (House of Games) - Now, how good was he? I watched this movie some time ago and I recently caught a glimpse of the "tell" scene and I chuckled at how I played myself.

The angel Gabriel & Lucipher (The Prophecy) - Viggo Mortensen is a great villain, he's so cold and arrogant! With the limited screen time he had, he managed to be so effective. Christopher Walken as the rebel angel (that's Draco's son name Revel Angel, weird) who just wants God to love him, even it it means the end of all humanity.

Commodus (Gladiator) - I loved what Joaquin Phoenix did with his character here. Like other great villains his motivation comes from feeling unwanted and unloved.

May Canady (May) - Angela Bettis did an amazing job playing this part and it was a performance that will I never forget. When I was done watching the movie I was just speechless.

Definitely Darth Vader! He's the top one on my list.

Agent Smith...from the Matrix Series...b/c Hugo Weaving did a terrific job.

I have to agree with a few who said Darth Vader is your favorite movie villian. He is definitely at top of my of list.

Heres a few other favorites:

Gollum: - (LOTR Trilogy) - Although he was completely computer generated he had to the most vicious sneaky character of them all. Gollum would do anything to get that ring even murder his friend.

The Joker: (Batman) - I said this another thread. Jack Nicholson's performance as The Joker stole the show in Batman, he even over shadowed Michael's Keaton performance as the title character.

Pinhead: (Hellraiser series) - He is the baddest of the bad IMO of Horror movie villians. He shows no emotion inflicting pain on anyone who opens the box to the gateway to Hell.

Nothing beats the classic Darth Vader. He's the coolest and the best villain ever. What an intimidating figure. Arresting black helmet and mask, flowing black cape and James Earl Jones's deep voice. Incredible.

I love when she turns into a kitty.

Scar from The Lion King is another cool villian. He also has the best song in the movie The hyenas rocked too.

I always liked Catwoman from Batman Returns.
