Gotta say the *book version* of Baron Harkonnen is completely different (and better) than the Lynch version. The Lynch version is basically just a cackling generic ugly villain doin "basic bad guy stuff". Zero nuance, which is in stark parallel to the book version. Hopefully Villeneuve's Baron gets a little more development in part II.

in Harry Potter. A truly universal bad guy!
He was also great as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood.
Yup good call, took an otherwise cheesy flick and made it more memorable with a creepy, well acted bad guy
Not sure if mentioned above, but I’d add DiCaprio as Calvin Candie in Django

Snape was absolutely an antagonist...and very much played a villain(foil) for most of the series. Face it, until the end he drew the suspicions of everyone.
Bruce the shark from Jaws
Bladerunner’s Rutger Hauer
Agreed. That guy is a great phucquing actor
A-laugh-a while you can-a monkey boy….
I used to think the witch was the villain, but it's really Glinda. She makes Dorothy go on a wild goose chase, almost getting her killed when she could have gone home the whole time! Lucky it was all a dream!
Jones also played Thulsa Doom, possibly making him the greatest villain actor of all time.
I would also add Tatsuay Nakadai from Yojimbo as one of the best bad guys.
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lanmbs and Hannibal was also pretty good.

Eric from Waterboy was also quite good, he had weird looking balls. Sandler movies only work if they have a great villain.

haha - that's a funny take.
I'll go with Hans Gruber, but Margaret Hamilton (I think?) as the WWW was great too.
"Ah Betty", "Love is but a Dung Heap, And I am the cock that crows upon it"
There's a fine line between "bad guy" and flat-out monster. Chigurh is right there and that's what makes the character so scary - you know there are real people in the world like that. Pure evil with zero conscience.
