It would take me a while to narrow down who I think are the "best" b/c someone will inevitably be left out. but here are 10 that I like, in no order:

1. the Alien in, coincidentally, Alien
2. Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction
3. Dr Frankenfurter in Rocky Horror (although not a villain per se, he is definitely an instigator/antagonist)
4. Darth Vader from Star Wars
5. yeah, Count Orlock
6. Stallone's character in Death Race 2000
7. James Earl Jones in Conan
8. David (Kiefer Sutherland) in the Lost Boys
9. Mr T in Rocky 3
10. Ogre in Revenge of the Nerds

like I said, this is just 10 off the top of my head. I like pretty much every villain for one reason or another. it always cracks me up when there is a "villain" character, like someone who is "pure evil". it's just seems really silly to me. like the silent movie guy tying various young maidens to the railroad tracks.
