That picture is right up New Me's alley...yeah

 

Gotta include favorites like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Jason Vorhees...I also personally loved Carrie when she went all psycho at the dance, killing any and everyone and essentially putting the town into ruins(Moreso in the book then the movie though)

2. Hans Gruber - Die Hard

 

Great choice, I would have also had Simon Gruber in there, because he was pretty damn good too.

Where's the love (or in this case hate) for Tim Roth in Rob Roy? I actually came up with a scale of heel villainy based on his assholery in that movie. Kinda like the Muta scale for blading.

Night of the Hunter is the movie where the guy poses as a priest, and he's got 'love' and 'hate' written on his knuckles. I suggest you watch it, it's really great.

I've scanned the lists of everyone and they are incomplete.

 

 

They will continue to be incomplete until they have David Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China!!!

That sounds familiar as fuck. I think I might have seen bits and pieces of it when I was younger.

All great villians. Others I would include are Agent Smith, Darth Vader, Freddy, Rutger Hauer in The Hitcher, and the Kurigan from Highlander. Coming soon to my list Bill from Kill Bill. :headbang:

The Sheriff is hilarious, but any villian who makes me laugh as much as he does is not a villian to me.

Eh, none of these "villains" matches up to Col. Tavington. I mean, for christ sakes, he shot a damn kid!

He also ordered his troops to burn down a church.

I gotta say Spine, I am disappointed in the lack of Darth Vader in your list.

 

 

Darth Vader > The Emperor

Maybe, but EVERYONE likes Darth Vader and he's such on obvious choice that I found it unnecessary to put him on the list.

 

And I completely forgot to add Bill the Butcher, who certainly belongs in the top ten.

Maculy Culkin killed his baby brother in The Good Son, tried to drown his sister and push his mom off a cliff, and he wasn't much of a villain. But then, he didn't order troops to burn down a church, either.
