Here are my 5 in no particular order.

The killer with the bad hair in No Country for Old Men.

The scarred up FBI agent who gets physically ill when women swear at him in The Frighteners.

The long haired sword guy who smokes eyeballs in The Crow.

Brick Top in Snatch.

Jean Baptiste Zorg in The Fifth Element.

Can you dig it ?

This was tough and while some semi-recent ones like Ian McKellen/Magneto in X-MEN and Carradine in KILL BILL came to mind, all my real faves were fairly old school...

James Earl Jones/Thulsa Doom in CONAN.

Alan Rickman/Hans Gruber in DIE HARD.

Anthony Hopkins/Hannibal in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.

Bruce in JAWS.

Christopher Walken/Vincenzo in TRUE ROMANCE.

I came up with these 5, but it might be revised if I think of someone better:

- Brick Top (Snatch)
- Marsellus Wallace (Pulp Fiction)
- Shlubb&Klump (Sin City)
- Hannibal (Silence of the Lambs)
- Vito Corleone (The Godfather)

These are the people that I actually wanted to punch in the face I hated their characters so much. Not because they were poorly acted, the opposite actually. The only three I can ever remember getting really physically angry with.

Nurse Ratchet - One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Worm - Rounders

Commodus - Gladiator

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

The only truly evil one I can think of is in a TV show (T-Bag in Prison Break).

On deeper thought, though, here goes:

Darth Vader. All time ultimate kick ass bad guy. Not the most evil or hateable, certainly, but so freaking great!
Dr Evil. So much funnier than Austin Powers!
The Joker (Heath Ledger). Just cos he was so good at it...
The Witch King/Ringwraiths in LOTR. I know that now they aren't too frightening but when it came out, I loved them!
Patrick Bateman - American Psycho (played by Christian Bale) he was nasty!

As a side note, would V (V for Vendetta) be considered a villain? Technically not, I know, but he is a kind of terrorist.
Also, Dr. Horrible.

Oooh...the difficulty is in narrowing it down to just five! Ok, so in no particular order:

1. Darth Vader
2. Alan Rickman / Hans Gruber (how can he not be on this list?)
3. Ralph Fiennes / Lord Voldemort (come on, he's freaking creepy in the movies!)
4. Christopher Lee / Saruman
5. Anthony Hopkins / Hannibal Lecter

If I had an "honorable mention" or two, they'd go to Heath Ledger's Joker and Agent Smith from the Matrix trilogy.

2. James Earl Jones - Darth Vader Star Wars Original Trilogy
3. Alan Rickman - The Sheriff of Nottingham Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
4. Forest Whitaker - Idi Amin The Last King of Scotland

Honourable mentions:

No love for Gary Oldman in Leon? Also Woo-jin in Oldboy is a pretty good bastard. And Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds.

Perhaps not my favourite favourites but worth a mention all the same.

Ralph Fiennes - Amon Goth (Schindler's List)

Ben Kingsley - Don Logan (Sexy Beast)

Honourable mentions must go to ANY film starring Alan Rickman or Gary Oldman where they are playing baddies and Brick Top...., the 'orrible c**t !

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

heath ledgers joker
shooter mcgavin
mr blonde
anton chiugr
kevin spacey in 7

shooter mcgavin would be number 1 but heath ledger basically killed himself to get the role perfect, so, he's the tops
