Ok its not a list definitive as there are only 10 slots available in the poll.
I have not included any horror films as I don't watch them and its kind of a given that they are evil/villains.
You can have more than one answer so even if your favorite is not there you can still have a vote or two

None of those, Marcus Penn in Under Siege 2 (Everett McGill) is the best, no question.

None of the above

Clarence Boddicker (Robocop) would tear them all a new one.

Not sure if Amon Goeth should be included, as (evil as he was) he was a real person...

Don Logan & Teddy Bass in Sexy Beast

What a nasty, horrible pair that you really wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of.

(sort) horror, horror-adjacent

this was my thought too. As to who to replace him with... Commodus/Joaquin Phoenix from Gladiator

From that list it's Hans Landa and Chigurh for me.

If we're talking TV it's Gus Fring from Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul for me.

EDIT - Can't change my poll, but just spotted Norman Stansfield from Leon is on there too. Gary Oldman generally makes for a fantastic villain, and in that film he is superb.

You could do a top 10 of just his villains

yeah - I thought that JP's version of Commodus was amped up for the film and so 'fictional' if you will. Turns out that the real Commodus was even more violent/brutal/deranged yikes

TLDR - you're right, he's off the list too

There can be only one - The Kurgan.

And Don Logan is one of the most singular characters of all time.

Alan Rickman in the Robin Hood movie. He got so carried away in the role you can even spot him unintentionally knocking part of the set over as he struts around in (mock) anger. Scene stealing villainy at its best.
