For me, a good villain has a plan, no redemption arc and goes down fighting. Darth and terminator are great but they have a long arc where they eventually get redeemed. It's hans gruber all the way on this list.

chigurh for me from that lot. he has no redeeming qualities at all and seemingly no motive for going a far as he does other than for sport and because he is psychopathic. woody harrelson's character even points this out.

the book offers no further insight.

Everyone seems to have missed the clear winner, The Childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. There has never been anyone more menacing before or since.

What a great choice.

Ohh this really is a great shout, Frightened the life out of me as a kid.

This is why I put it forward. Still gives me the shivers and I'm 61

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.

This gets my vote too .

Just imagine how terrible that film would have been without his performance.

That Wallace and Gromit penguin is an absolute menace!

Shere Khan the tiger.

Voldemort, obviously, alongside Judge Doom (that poor cartoon shoe) and Dr Evil, who didn’t spend 6 years in Evil medical school to be called Mister, thank you very much.

I think Scott Evil is way more villainous than his dad. None of this unnecessarily slow dipping mechanism for him.

Falcon Eddie used to scare the st out of me.

Not scary as such but one of my favourite ‘villains’ was Ivan Drago, playing up to the cold hearted killing machine stereotype.

Can we declare The Childcatcher the winner? The Wallace & Gromit penguin is unpleasant, but surely no one will still having nightmares about him 55 years after he first appeared.

[AW111]

A few more:

Rutger Haeur in Blade Runner.

Sydney Greenstreet in the Maltese Falcon.

Basil Rathbone in Robin Hood (watched it the other day)

For pure nastiness, Basil Rathbone in We're no Angels.
