I've never ever been a fan of the villain just to be a villain type of argument. I like my villains to have a reason for what they do.

for the most part the forces of evil in most movies are the forces of order, and the hero's the so called forces of freedom.

Some of my favorite Villains in no particular order

1) Palpatine/Darth Sideous - ok this might surprise a few because most would think Vader. But while Vader was a force for Rage, Revenge and Self Loathing, Palpatine was the true villain. Our of all of the characters in the movies he was the most honest guy out there, his deceit was based around truths. He was literally a force for change and anticorruption in a GFFA in fact the Galaxy was so corrupt that he used it to rise and take over. Evil scarred up and croaky as he was, his vision for what must have been an impossible galaxy to manage wasn't in itself evil.

2) Magneto - Look at his background, taken to an extermination camp as a boy because he was different, and then experimented on, of course he's going to lash out and go to war with the humans to protect the mutants. Of course he had a Machiavellian streak a mile wide but it was understandable. To me the X-Men were the true villains in this piece, they put their people in danger every day to protect humanity who kept trying to wipe them out, and put their hopes on humanity. Ak Pooey (That's spitting noise)

3) General Hummel - He was an easy bad guy to cheer for. He went to battle for his men who had been screwed over and abandoned and discarded. Sure people got hurt along the way, but man you can't make an omelet.

4) Jason Vorhees - He was left to drown as a child a deformed developmentally delayed child, by people who bullied him and didn't care about him. And when his mother tried to get justice she was left just as dead. Frankly we saw the greatest statement of him in Friday the 13th Part 7 when he is exposed to toxic waste and turns into a sobbing child. Deep down in the mind of the monster there was an abandoned lost child.

Plus Teenagers, I totally hate them

5) Kahn - Star Trek II - Kirk created his own villain here. At the end of Space Seed Kirk muses about visiting the society that Kahn built. Then he promptly grabbed Yeoman Rand for a quick trip around the nacelles and forgot that Kahn ever existed. A man that was literally thrown out of the garden of eden when the moon exploded and the whole planet was laid to waste (What Spock, to busy to do a scan of the old moon which exploded 5 years later?) Kahn watched his wife die and his people suffer all because Kirk was an ego centric. So of course Kahn became a modern day Ahab. We con't know if his rage and need for revenge would have faded if he killed Kirk. Plus he also made a nice planet where Kirk decided to murder a helpless Klingon Captain.
