Default Greatest Movie Villains
Nothing makes a movie like a great villain. Discuss your personal favorites and those you think might have been passed over for cinematic immortality.

Here are a couple of no-brainers to get things started:

1. Darth Vader (David Prowse/James Earl Jones) from The Star Wars Trilogy.

2. Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) from Die Hard.

With a name like Amon Goth, can you be anything but a villain?

Being a Nazi probably didn't help his cause, either.

Lord Humongous from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. What a mysterious and frightening character.

This might be a little bit under the radar, but how bout John Lithgow in Ricochet? The movie wasn't exactly a masterpiece, but Lithgow pulled off the villain Earl Blake surprisingly well and showed some range in what he could do. I only mention him cause I was flippin around and saw this movie for the first time late at night.

Misery's Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates).

Reminds me of John Wilkes Booth, an actual villain.
