I've been watching some movies, and i have [almost] always like villains more than super heroes, or the typical bad guy who becomes good.... anywayz, i wanted to know if any has like a top 3 let's say villain from movies [not videogames] and probably state why are your favorites. I'll start

The joker from the Dark Knight. Awesome villain, the actor really went into another level in playing the role. Awesome character and incredible performance. He was so00o0o0o crazy but then again so clever. Shows that there is a really thin line in being a genius and being totally nuts. And he was damn funny too. He had this thing against batman, but at the same time he defines batman as his complement. Pure awesomeness.

John Kramer from Saw. Incredible. This character is so smart, so clever. He used to put people into situations where they had to choose either to die or pretty much suffer to have a slight chance to survive. But he had a purpose of doing it so, to teach a lesson of life and give a "Second Chance". He never killed anyone. He studied the human behavior and probability of people in taking decissions. He just had one rule, and that was to follow the rules dictated. There was always a way to survive, you just had to follow the rules. Amazing.

Hannibal Lecter. Again, another really smart character. He could get deep into ur mind and play tricks with it. He was so vicious, he's a cannibal and yet he was educated and polite. Enjoys good things in life (i wonder what human's meat tastes like) like classical music. Not an ordinary villain. And the best is that he killed without regrets. He ate his victims, what else can you ask for???

So yeah, those are my top 3 and i guess they would be arranged as follow

1.- John Kramer

2.- Hannibal Lecter

3.- The joker

Between Kramer and lecter is a thought one...i didnt know which one to choose for first place b/c both are incredible. I had to give it to Kramer just because i love they way he works. But it could well be a tie between those 2. The joker comes in third, but not that far from them.

So how about you guys??? Anyone that has any preference in villains?? Or is it just me -.-

Oh and they can be from any type of movie and it doesnt matter if it's old.

Darth Vader... he may not be the best character, but he is plain awesome

Here goes
1) Hannibal Lecter: Villains usually have some agenda or psychological issues behind their evil deeds which the good Doctor obviously lacks

2)T-1000: I really hated this prick. Had a well defined mission and did everything possible, and then some, to get it done

3)Dr Evil: I have no words to justify this pick. I just love him

Here's my favorites from this year:

1. Loneliness-The Wrestler and Wall-E

2. Uncontrollable depression-Revolutionary Road

3. Guilt and Self-Loathing-Gran Torino and Frost/Nixon

^ How good is Gran Torino?

Those are my picks.

Very good. Must watch.

Darth Maul, until the very end he was one badass dude.

Kahn Noonien Singh from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn

Sauron from Lord of the Rings

Darth Maul was cool until he talked...
