Greatest Ever Movie Villains
By 
Introduction
The villains can make or break a movie. These are my favorites in no particular order (I'm including anti-heroes, as well).
Hans Gruber (Die Hard)
Cool, calm, collected, comical, and completely fiendish. Who gives a fuck if 30 innocent people die as long as he leaves with $640 million?
Simon Phoenix (Demolition Man)
Wesley Snipes plays the hero too often. It's nice to see him cut loose and be a total sadist. You can tell he had too much fun with this role.
Hannibal Lecter (The Silence of the Lambs)
Hello, Clarice! Anthony Hopkins mad this character. Forget the schmuck who played in Hannibal Rising.
Jack Torrance (The Shining)
Can you believe that Stephen King didn't want Jack Nicholson to play Jack Torrance? He thought it'd be too much of a giveaway. Who cares? Jack embodied that villain.
Lt. Thaddeus Harris (Police Academy)
I cheered when Lt. Harris, by his own mistake, got his head stuck up a horse's ass.
Khan Noonian Singh (Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan)
He was Captain Ahab in space. Great re envisioning of the character by Ricardo Montalban.
The Kurgan (Highlander)
The Kurgan took too much joy out of chopping off the heads of Immortals, and Clancy Brown made that mentality shine through.
Kim Jong Il (Team America: World Police)
He got on this list for two reasons: the tour of the shark tank he gave Hans Blix, and the song "I'm So Ronery".
Saddam Hussein (South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut)
Nice that the world sees what that little prick was REALLY like!
The Riddler (Batman Forever)
Jim Carrey created one of the most lovable villains in movie history here (well, at least he wasn't as sullen as the cartoon version).
