1. Psycho (1960)

Norman Bates;
I adored Anthony Perkins' performance. The last smile at the end always sends a genuine chill down my back.

2. Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Mr. Blonde;
He may not be the villain with the biggest part but Michael Madson plays him perfectly! I just love how casual he is throughout.

3. The Dark Knight (2008)

The Joker;
I think Heath created a new foundation for future villains to be based on. His Joker was unique, psychotic and come on, who really was rooting for Batman in this film?

4. Seven (1995)

John Doe;
Despite there being only a tiny bit of screentime of John Doe, his acts and his reasons are genius.

5. Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Col. Hans Landa;
He's got a big pipe and no conscience. A perfect villain.

6. American Psycho (2000)

Patrick Bateman;
Probably the most disturbing villain, especially in the book. But, I love the way he wears a mask, as all of us do.

7. A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Alex DeLarge;
Alright, towards the end he isn't much of a villain but at the beginning he is devilishly likable.

8. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Hannibal Lecter;
I love his intelligence. I love his stares and his smiles. No one ever wants his victims to survive.

Paul and Peter;
I love how hardly anything is revealed about them. They just torture at will.

10. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

Gogo Yubari;
Quite devistated when The Bride killed her, I thought she was brilliant.

Early Grayce;
It's a shame really. I was looking forward to Brad Pitt murdering David Duchovny.

Wesley Snipes in New Jack City. His bad guy crack dealer, Nino Brown, was so charismatic, he stole the whole movie.

Nobody was watching good guys Ice-T, Judd Nelson, or Mario Van Peebles.

The role also launched Snipes' career and made him a star.
