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) |

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

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

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

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 Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

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.Â

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. |
