M.Bison from the godawful StreetFighter (The Movie) purely because Raul Julia gave a fantastic performance despite said performance being in one of the worst movies imaginable.What an utter dickhead in Robocop and Total Recall
I'd be of the same opinion about Raul an eccentric bad guy performance and enjoyable to watch.
Ronnie Cox is also excellent in a lot of 80's/90's films and was also excellent as Captain Jellico and Sen. Kinsey in Star Trek and Stargate
My mind is full of SQL at the moment but im sure ill think of more.0 -

Kinda amazed nobody has mentioned Darth Vader yet! The ultimate in movie bad guy. From the moment he appears on screen in A New Hope, calmly looking over the dead bodies of his own men and the rebels (scored with sinister menace by John Williams), you just know what this is the baddest badass in that galaxy far, far away.
The black armour, the black cloak, the sinister mechanical breathing, the booming baritone voice, the towering 6' 6" frame, choking people from 10 paces with a thought... Everything about Vader just made him so evil. Everytime he set foot on screen, all attention was drawn to him. Everyone was terrified of him; even the all powerful Emperor knew that Vader was always going to plot and plan to take over and feared him. Vader's own men knew that the price of failure was most likely death by his hand. Everyone was in awe of him.
Another iconic movie villain for me was Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. The sneering, cold, diabolical face of Nazism. Purely sadistic and utterly ruthless, Goeth was one of the most repugnant roles ever. Taking joy in standing on the veranda of his mansion overlooking a concentration camp and firing his rifle down at the prisoners, he was not above having sex with his Jewish maids when it suited him. Fiennes played Goeth with such subtle, purring menace that it horrified some of the real Schindler-Juden who visited the set.
The most unlikable extraterrestrial lifeform ever committed to celluloid... From the original Alien all the way through the film series, spin-offs, etc. and this thing has become one of the most feared and reviled creatures in the universe. It has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. It merely exists to keep its own species going. Like wasps, they live in colonies made by a queen and only really exist to fúck up other people's lives. Their imagery was designed to be disturbing, using imagery of both human male and female sex organs in their design, in order to create subconscious feelings of rape whenever they were onscreen. This alone makes them desperately unlikable villains.
A sad and twisted loner who struck terror into the hearts of the citizens of San Francisco. Using a cowardly method of attack initially (sniping his victims from far away) before graduating to kidnapping and raping a minor, Scorpio from the original Dirty Harry was nothing but worthy of contempt. He appeared to be so menacing and powerful, but quickly came to be seen as a coward and somewhat pathetic. This was best illustrated in the infamous scene on the football field (where it was revealed he lived in his modest abode of the groundskeeper's hut) when he pleads and wheedles for his life, while refusing to give Harry vital information. He then desperately resorts to threatening and intimidating innocent children in the film's final showdown, caring little for their lives or for anyone else's.
Andy Robinson played this character with such flair and gave Scorpio such an unhinged edge that he is forever remembered as one of the great cinematic villains.0 -

Pennywise the Clown is truly one of films most frightening characters as even after you finish watching the movie you will never truly shake how evil he is and possibly sleep with the light on
Hannibal Lector, need i say more except "fss fss fss fss fss!"
Verbal"Kaiser Soze"Kint and John Doe are some of the finest villains put to celluloid, both played by the brilliant Kevin Spacey
John Doe's malevolence just oozes off the screen in the final confrontation with Brad Pitt and like Verbal gets the outcome that he wanted all along

Open wide for the Nazi Dentist! Laurence Olivier plays the villain in "Marathon Man" (1976) which put many people of visiting the dentist for years to come.
Robert Mitchum is the religious preacherman we "Love" to "Hate" in "The Night of the Hunter"(1955) and he hates kids too when he's not busy praying and murdering the adults. Watch this if you haven't seen it yet as it has fantastic cinematography and suspence. One of the original southern gothic horrors...
Russell Crowe in a very early and commanding lead role as "Hando", the leader of a neo-nazi australian skinhead gang. "Romper Stopmer" (1992) is a pretty violent film with a strong storyline and much of it was adapted from the real-life antics of infamous australian skinhead gang leader Dane Sweetman who's gang bashed Asians and gays, and firebombed synagogues in the late 1980s. He went to prison for murder eventually.0 -

Bricktop from Snatch. He looks harmless with his huge glasses.
When he starts talking about theBrick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you?
Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig ****, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
Vinny: Well, thank you for that. That's a great weight off me mind. Now, if you wouldn't mind telling me who the **** you are, apart from someone who feeds people to pigs of course?0 -

Still scares the crap outta me to this day

Across multiple time-lines and realities this guy is such a classless a-hole. An angry bully that just makes everyone's life worse. He's awesome. Even though he loves Lorraine he uses it as a threat ('you will be my wife!') and would turn her into a bitter, submissive plastic alcoholic. He also keeps giving out to his future self while all he's trying to do is make him rich with the almanac!
Best villain ever - Biff Tannen.0 -

Lynch has created some real monsters in his movies but the Mystery Man in Lost Highway is one of the creepiest. The home intrusion and voyeurism alone are unsettling and his mannerisms and movement, while classic Lynch, work to make one of his abstractions quite a real villain.0 -
