Good list of villains, but I think Alan Rickman must be the best at playing bad, especially as Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd, and he was seriously villanous in Robin Hood! In the Harry Potter flms Alan Rickman just looks villainous but sometimes helps the kids.

There must be more female villains - I can think of
Lara Flynn Boyle in Men In Black 2
Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns
Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
Susan Sarandon in Enchanted
Kathy Bates in Misery
Lucy Liu in Kill Bill Vol 1

If I may:
In order mind you. And I know it seems shady that these people have all played top notch villains in their day and age. In fact this list is probably best or would be better left un-numbered. But Icould only come up with 10 off the top of my head.

10) David Carradine as Bill in Kill Bill

9) Geoffrey (I don't believe I put him at number nine but I did) Rush inanythign where he plays a villain. (Hey at least he made my list)

8) Ray Fiennes as Voldemort

7) Danny Devito as the Penquin in Batman Returns

6) Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood

5) Christopher Lee in any film he's made recently where he plays a villain

4) Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada

3) Glenn Close as Cruella Deville in either film and then of course as the Marquis in Dangerous Liasisons

2) John Lithgow in the film Ricochet with Denzel Washington

1) Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor in the Christopher reeves version of Superman

What about The Joker from the first Batman Movie? I still think it's one of the best villains of any movie.

wicked feed back. I did include the Jack N villian and flirted with the other batman villians prob for part two. Kathy Bate how did I miss and also I missed Michelle P. Not from batman no, no, but Stardust. As it is with the endearing bad guy there is something soooooo hot about a sexy female villian and Michelle in Stardust is just tooo much.

Keep em coming

Sauron anyone? LoL I guess I'd have to go with Alan Rickman. Good or bad I love him in anything he does. As Emma Thompson once said, he could play a milkman and make him appear mysterious.
