Darth Vader is pretty much a no-brainer.

Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg from The Fifth Element was *awesome*...

Hmm...Saruman was pretty badass too.

Honorable Mentions:

Godzilla (c. 1954 and 2002: Original and GMK) - no one has ever stomped Tokyo better.

King Ghidorah (first appearance) - Space Alien comes to destroy the world. Why? Because he can. Best reason to do anything when you're evil.

Sokurah the Magician - From The 7th Voyage of Sinbad knew what he wanted and would go to any lengths to get it.

Vader
Agent Smith(though when he started crying at the end of revo I stopped liking him actively)
Celestin from Ah My Goddess.(He's the bad guy because he wants everybody to be happy, and I couldn't think of anyone else.)

He was just a representative of the company,wich is the most evil thing is the Alien universe since they want the Xenomorphs as a biological weapons.

General Zod (need i say more?)
second place is tied between M. Bison played by Raoul Julia, and Magneto from the x-men movies.
third place goes to the Merovingian, from Reloaded. he had a bit more of a personality than Smith did, so that gives him a plus.

God, I wish that fucking movie had been good so I wouldn't feel guilty for loving Langella's performance.

A common misconception is that Vader is some sort of epitome for villains. This is completely untrue. Darth Vader is simply one of the most successful corporate CEO's of all time. The guy simply knew how to motivate people.

It's understandable that certain people mistake his heavy-handed but fair approach to mistakes as villainy, but who would argue that applying the same tough standards to all employees, regardless of position, is a bad thing? The man generated results, and the company stayed in the black throughout his term there.

I'm sure that some employees were confused by the helmet and cape when he was first brought on board, but word quickly spread that the new chairman was bringing in his guys and laid all concerns to rest.

And I can't believe I forgot Dark Helmet on my list. >_<

Palpatine was way more villainous. Vader was a tool OF Palpatine, and that says something.

General Zod wins several awards for being evil, as does Magneto and Jack Nicholson's Joker (probably the best comic-to-movie villain ever). Comic books EXCEL at creating villains who know how to play their part.

A lot of people might vote for Jason, the Aliens, and other famous movie monsters, but they're mostly killing machines as opposed to true villains.

But the most villainous creature of all fiction wasn't in a movie or TV show. He was in a video game, and his name was Kefka.

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-02-25 06:00pm

overall, i'd say it was a tie between Kefka and Mr. Morden, from babylon 5. they both have the right type of personality and attidue for being evil that fits so nicely.

Morden was cool but he pales in comparison with Bester,

General Zod · Post by **General Zod** » 2004-02-25 06:32pm

i'm not really sure i'd classify bester as a real villain . . . . Morden was actively working to derail things for everybody not with the Shadows, while Bester was more or less just looking to cover his own ass.

That has to be the most evil man in movie history!

If you are going to include villians from video games, you have to put SHODAN in their somewhere.
