Of the following 6 famous movie villains, which one is the best? Vote!

 

1.
The Butcher was portrayed by Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York. Known for his skill with the knife, being able to fling a blade to a target hundreds of feet away in under a seconds notice with deadly accuracy. He was a racist and a murderer, leader of the natives who was attempting to keep immigrants out of New York. Based loosely on a real person.

2.
Amon Goeth was portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Shindler's List. A Nazi criminal who viewed Jews as less than animals. He ran a concentration camp where for sport he would sometimes sit at his post and casually shoot at the working Jewish people for fun. He executed any Jewish person who said anything to him. He was based directly on a true Nazi mass murderer who was executed at the end of the war.

3.
Derek Vinyard was portrayed by Edward Norton in the movie American History X. He was the face and voice of a quickly growing white power organization in LA California. He led his growing group on brutal beatings against immigrants and murdered 2 people, one of which was executed in brutal fashion; Derek forced his victim to open his mouth, putting his teeth on the curb of the road before Derek stomped hard on his head crushing his scull.

4.

Alex is portrayed by Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange. Leads a cult like gang responsible for a reign of terror involving rape and murder. He is a true psychopath that despite a very heavy lesson, involving brainwashing leading to a torturous existence preventing him from doing evil while viewing a world full of evil, did not learn a thing and saw himself as simply cured (and he would essentially just get on with his day like "well, that's over!") when the brainwashing was reversed.


5.

Hannibal Lector was portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and several other films. A true fully psychopathic cannibal serial killer who was so tuned to killing that his heart rate would not even rise beyond normal levels as he bit a womans face off (as described in a scene) or brutally beat a cop to death, cutting his face off, and using it as a mask as he is rushed to hospital (doctors checking his pulse found it at normal levels). He is also a genius.

Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) in Sexy Beast

The question is which one of those six in the list is the best.

By best I will take you to mean worst :)

Alex is the worst, he is the most evil person listed.

- The Butcher is no different than many other period in his time period, and was actually a lot nicer than other villians listed.
- Amon Goeth is the second most evil, but his evil came from an evil ideological worldview. He did great evil to Jews, but treated other people who were German, French, Italian, etc. much better, unlike Alex who would do evil to anyone. He did more evil on a larger scale, but if given the same opportunity others in the list would have done more.
- Derek Vinyard turned out to be a good guy in the end, from his actions he is hardly a super villian since most people he was in jail with where much worse than him.
- Hannibal Lector is just crazy, and the evil he did doesnt compare to others on the list.
- Tyrannosaurus Rex is not evil at all, he is just doing what any other animal would do.



Im surprised the joker is not on this list.



Alex Delarge. The Joker (Heath's version, at least) AND Conker's intro were based off of this guy.

Amon Goeth in Schindler's List.

He felt like the most cold hearted of those six.

Besides, super-villains like Joker, T-1000, Agent Smith, etc... are fairly 1 dimensional; there is not a question about their intentions. They are not about complexity, but rather what cool thing will they do next? And how is the heero going to stop them? They are a different kind of villain, it's the difference between Kefka and Delita.
