I thought it would be fun with the discussion around all of these Superhero movies to list your top 5 movie villians and why

1) The Icon Darth Vader - He was menacing from the time that he walked through the door of the Rebel Ship and stepped over the bodies of dead rebel soldiers and Storm Troopers alike. He didn't dissapoint throughout that first movie, he willingly tortured a young girl, didn't raise a finger when a whole world was slaughtered and later handed out throat closing punishment without a thought. Tho he would redeem himself later and soften up. He was the best villian for me

2) The Joker (Heath Ledger) - Full of menace and Glee, he claimed that he was an anarchist a dog chasing a car with no plan, but he was the best planner in the whole movie. Your just dying to know the backstory of someone that is so smart and so twisted, but he even lies about that.

3) Hannibal Lectar - So urban and civilized, yet he was diabolical, brilliant and menacing. His interaction with Jodie Foster was chilling. And his emotionless blank faced slaughter of his guards has to be one of the scariest things ever seen. too bad they completely ruined him in later movies.

4) Khan - Star Trek 2 - You would completly hate him if you didn't feel for him deep down. A man created to lead, exiled and consumed by not only his nature, but his need to avenge the death of his wife caused by an uncaring Admiral Kirk. Driven and Completely ruthless he was the modern day version of Ahab chasing the Great White Whale, and willing to throw everything including himself away in the process.

5) Mr Blonde - Reservoir Dogs - A brutal sadistic man. His glee while he danced around and tortured a police officer was one of the most frightening things ever.

6) The Terminator - The Terminator - Not the soft heroic terminator from the sequels but the bad a$$ unstoppable killing machine that wanted to rid the world of all Sarah Conners as long as he killed his Sarah Conners. Played with emotionless viger by Arnold, how can you not grown and scream in frustration when the exo skeleton steps out of the burning truck.

7) Hans Gruber - Die Hard - Oily, ruthless and brilliant. He tied the FBI in complete nots and chewed up scenary like a hungry fat kid, incredible based on the fact that it was Rickman's first Hollywood role

8) Magneto - Xmen series - More a tragic figure then a villian, he had been through the hell of the concentration camps and saw the same situation evolving again and made the step that they were superior to modern man. Was willing to kill his own kind to make the world better for his people.

9) Payton Flanders - The hand that rocks the cradle - Revenge drove her to incredible heights. Seductive but homicidal.

10) Col Jessup (sp?) A Few Good Men - a exceptional soldier, a complete Psycho path with a massive ego and unbelievable leadership skills. He didn't see himself as a villian, and completely justified his actions. That's what made him scary.
