Funny but Spacey as 2 of my top 5 as mine are more heavily weighted towards whether the villain actually won.

1. Keyser Soze - Hands down for me because dude was so bad ass and completely defeated all the forces against him. Great performance by Spacey in this role.

2. The Joker - Ledger just nailed his portrayal here to the point it exceeded Nicholson's take (Nicholson would probably be in my top 10).

3. Darth Vader - Probably the first villain I ever loved so this one has some nostalgia for me.

4. Amon Goeth - Fiennes was just pure evil in Schindler's list. When the dude is about to hang and calmly fixes his hair before saying Heil Hitler, that shit chilled me to the bone with how much of an unrepetent ****** Goeth was.

5. Spacey in 7 - You barely see him throughout the movie but dude was just a demented **** who gets bonus points for ultimately winning at the end by driving Pitt's character over the line.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List... over the course of discussion the topic of the film overshadows how fantastic Fiennes and Liam Niesses were in that film.

I'll pick 5 favs that haven't been named yet. I think the unknown and unseen is also a good characteristic of a good villain...

Linda Blair/ Exorcist demon with the effects was done so well, maybe the best of all time.

1. Keyser Soze - Before the film the character was completely anonymous no one knew what he looked like, he walked freely around New York, he was a free man. At the end of the film every law enforcement official in the world knows exactly what he looks like, he lost his freedom

2. The Joker - Solitary confinement.

3. Darth Vader - Died.

4. Amon Goeth - Convicted of war crimes and executed.

5. Spacey in 7 - Died, the way he wanted to die, but still

You and I disagree on the definition of a win.


Just messing with you remy.

It's funny because I thought the same thing, though I would argue that Spacey won in 7.

The villain must be an antagonist.

So while it seems that Jack Torrence is winning in a landslide...I would argue that Jack is the protagonist of that story and all votes are null in void.

(It's his batshit crazy kid, Danny, that is the antagonist and true villain)

In no paticular order of the ones still not named.

1.) Frank Booth - Blue Velvet

2.) Alex Forrest - Fatal Attraction

3.) Nurse Ratched - One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

4.) Freddy Kruger - Nightmare on Elm Street Series

5.) Count Dracula - Dracula (any of them)

Big props to IJPH and Gus for the "Oliver Lang" noms.

(That is the Robbins' character)
