Villains

Recommended Posts

Did the search and didn't find anything, so here we go.

 

Villains have gone through tremendous numbers of iterations over the millennium.  The traditional villain was someone or something that gave our protagonist to face off against.  In my own lifetime, I have grown to appreciate just how important the villain is in a story to make it that much better.

 

I'll post my list a bit later, but wanted to kick this off to see if anyone has a favorite in a movie/book/play/etc.

 

I'll start off with one of the most iconic of my generation.  It isn't a favorite for myself, but it is for many people.  Extremely little back story, bad as hell, abso-fugin-lutely not to be fuged with:

Like the pics thread.... no rules/qualifications.  Give us a proper villain and why they need to be on the list

I left Marvel and DC comic book characters out of my list or it would be over populated with the likes of the Joker, Lex Luther, Venom, etc.

So here are my Top 10:

 

Captain Hook

STRONG Villain out of the gate!  Not familiar with the Van Damme character, so I can't comment on him.  However, Ledger's Joker is one of my favorites.  He is an outstanding mix of a number of genres that was beautifully executed by Nolan.  The Joker as portrayed in The Dark Knight gives us a look at a villain that steals scenes wherever he shows up.  He is a mixture of The Corruptor, The Teacher, The Maniac, Avant-Gard, the Allegory, and the Crime Lord.
