Portrayed by Ian McDiarmid.
Without his constant plotting, the Star Wars saga would have never even begun. From his initial cameo in Episode I up until his most legendary appearance in Episode VI. His arrogance and corruption seeps through the screen!

The Dark Knight (2008)

Portrayed by Masanobu Ando.
Volunteering for a government legislated kill fest certainly does make you wonder whats up with this guy. Kiriyama's silent and ruthless approach to the BR Act certainly made him a dangerous foe on the deserted island of death.

The Matrix (1999)
Portrayed by Hugo Weaving.
The perfect opposite to The One. He doesn't value human life and makes a mockery of individuality by cloning himself onto any template in his reach. Not a flutter of feeling or moment of mercy during his entire role. Weaving did him justice.

Portrayed by Ralph Fiennes.
He existed but Fiennes performance brings up a fantastic depiction of Göth. When you're in charge of a concentration camp and murder labourers at will, he is the epitome of evil of the time! I will always remember the joy on his face at the suffering of others.

Portrayed by David Prowse and Voiced by James Earl Jones.

Seven (1995)
Portrayed by ??????.
Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Lust. Envy. Wrath. Its quite obvious to say that JD's overal plan was original and well executed. Etched down to the last detail, it wasn't ending without his desired result.

Training Day (2001)

The corrupt police officer who doesn't care about breaking the law to get what he wants. Going to extreme lengths to get out of any situation. Always one step ahead.

The mob boss whose hitmen take a trip to Bruges after a contract gone wrong. He obviously has rages which Ken tries his best to avoid (even over the phone), but he eventually catches up with them to hand out some bullets.

Hannibal Lector
Portrayed by Anthony Hopkins
Probably the most cliched and obvious choice for a favourite villain's list but he can't be ignored. Supreme wit, sophistication and a deep hunger for flesh...

Predator (1987)
The Predator
Portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall
The intergalactic hunter was more than a match for the most lethal special commando unit that ever was. Skinning and making trophies out of leftovers, thats not very nice at all.

Men in Black (1997)
Edgar Bug
Portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio
The cockroach in man's clothing. Although vastly a comedy portrayal as I laughed at almost all of his speaking scenes. Underneath lies a destructive menace that is selfish enough to force the extinction of another species.
Opposition: J & K

Trainspotting (1996)

I can't help but laugh everytime I see one of Begbie's fits of rage but by God he is frightening. Actively looking for violence with anyone and would glady stick a knife in his friend's backs.

The Thing
Portrayed by Various.
While solely based on instinct, I'm pretty sure this creature's method of culling prey is enough to make your eyes water and insides boil. Its subtle and underhanded tactics of taking a new form make it a horror to face.
Opposition: The Inhabitants of Antarctica

Dr. Herman Varnick

***WARNING!*** SPOILERS!!!!!
Maybe its just me but whenever I think of my favourite characters, the majority of them fall into the "Villain" bracket. After years of seeing myself as the villain of my own life, I can just feel more centred by watching characters that go way beyond my own concept of villainy.
