Favorite Movie Villains

[Mission Difficult]

Just curious what everyones favorite movie villains are.
My top three:
-Roy Batty from Blade Runner
-Lord John Whorfin / Dr. Emilio Lizardo from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
-The Plague from Hackers (such a goofball)

[Eschatos]

Never seen any of those.  That makes me sad.

Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from GhostBusters

[Tragic Hero]

Roy Batty for the win.  Also, I think Bricktop from Snatch makes an excellent villain and so does Jonny Ringo from Tombstone.

[Black Aspen]

Unicron, The Transformers: The Movie


Patrick Bateman (If that'll count), American Psycho


Bullet Tooth Tony, Snatch.


Betty, Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

Unicron, The Transformers: The Movie

Wasn't he voiced by the godfather himself?

I'll like just about anyone that fits the anti-villain subtype. Noble bad guys really suck you into a story.

[exanimo]

I completely and totally agree with Kor.
Noble villains make you think twice about good and evil and the fine line that lies between.

So ********** in the upcoming Watchmen movie = bestest villian ever.

Assuming they don't fuck it up, which is a big if.

edit: oh shit I almost spoiled it for those of you who haven't read it

The Villains From Dark City

Hands Down

Like Hans Gruber?

[Kor]

See, Hans was just looking for a retirement fund, then he started holding guns to chicks heads; Nobility = toast.

I'm trying to recall the last solid anti-villain performance I saw; The best in recent memory is Alfred Molina as Doc Oc in Spiderman 2. I'm sure there's better examples, I just can't recall any due to my memory not wasting too much space on movie trivia :X

[HuckBerryGee]

Kaiser Soze in The Usual Suspects
Alex DeLarge in Clockwork Orange
Elle Driver in Kill Bill

Kakihara in Ichi The killer

Tyler Durden in Fightclub

Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction

Woo-Jin Lee in Oldboy

Vincent in Collateral (sure Tom Cruise's a douche, but that guy was badass)

Castor Troy in Face Off

And fuck yeah, Patrick Bateman(God almighty Christian Bale) in American Psycho

[Tragic Hero]

I don't like how everyone is considering Bateman as a villain.  Granted he was a "bad guy" but when I think of villains I think of Antagonists, not protagonists with sinister motives.

In my book, Bateman is both the protagonist and the antagonist, he's the driving force against himself. He's devoted to committing wicked crimes, fucking and then killing a prostitute with a chainsaw wearing only sneakers and socks. He also takes his time to put on a raincoat before killing his victim and enjoys a cigar afterwards. That,for me, secures him as a villain.
