I have to go with the Operative, then The Joker, Hans Gruber, Hanibal Lecter, Agent Smith, Gene Hackman as Sheriff Little Bill(in Unforgiven, he was pure evil), Emperor Palpatine, Terminator 1, Valdemort, Darth Vader (from original Star Wars 4,5,6).

Special Mention to: Alpha, because he’s on TV.

Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine for sure. Then Ozymandius from Watchmen. I’d say Alpha from Dollhouse but, alas, that isn’t a film.

I vote the operative from serenity. Such an awesome villain, so frustratingly composed, and you cant really not like him.

“Malcolm… I’m a monster.What I do is evil. I have no illusions about it, but it must be done.”

Best quote ever.

This list ABSOLUTELY MUST have Hans Gruber from Die Hard!!!!

Rickman set the bar VERY high in ‘89 for the perfect, tailored, calculating, methodical, sociopathic, corporate thief villain for everyone to follow. Brilliiiiiant!

Definitely agree with needing Kurgan in the bracket too!

Vader WAS badass…til they annihilated him with over-explanation just like Boba Fett. Neither are really “badass” anymore thanks to George’s over-saturation.

As much as I can’t stomach giving props to Dollhouse, Alan Tudyk as Alpha should go on this list too. That guy completely stole the show out from under Dushku and friends…brilliant villain!

Glad to see The Operative got so much love!
Lol…

I mean, making a man impale-himself with his sword… talk about badass.
