Definately, he makes the movie!

Some I like that havent been mentioned yet, in no particular order:

-The green Goblin in Spiderman 1.
-Count de Rochefort in three musketeers (1993)
-Alec Travelyan in Golden eye.
-Saruman in Lord of the Rings. (Christopher Lee is perfect in any villain role by the way)
-Magua in The last of the Mohicans.

It doesn't matter what you guys think, you can never beat the Gruber brothers.

Archibald Cunningham from the movie Rob Roy.

Anton Chigurh from 'No Country For Old Men' has got to be up there. He is one scary bastard. I don't know what hes like in the novel, but the casting for the film was great.

Quite similar actually. Still, Chigurh is not even near McCarthy's REAL villain, Judge Holden!




T1000's, Hannibals, Vaders come and go, but this nurse Ratched stays:

Blood Meridian is one seriously ed up book and Holden is one of the most fascinating and scary villains I have ever read about.
