I liked Vincent Price in the Pit and the Pendulum. Such a departure from the type of person he was in real life. He was a great cook and  art connoisseur

Yeah, he was great, too. When he played that 'witch finder' he was one mean ...............er

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector # 1

That actor can't think of his name right now I'll go find him. He rules ! What a talent. In that Brad Pitt movie and 'water for elephants' movie. When he played a nazi in the Pitt movie he was fantastic. They build that scene between him and the farmer who was hiding the Jews till you wanted to scream.

'Joker', Ledger, in the Batman movie , also. I could go on forever. Movies, are my thing. LOL

Inglourious Baste*ds was the movie and  Christoph Waltz is the great actor.

Christoph Waltz as Landa was one of the best villains ever.

Tarantino acknowledged the importance of Waltz to his film by stating: "I think that Landa is one of the best characters I've ever written and ever will write, and Christoph played it to a tee. It's true that if I couldn't have found someone as good as Christoph I might not have made Inglourious Basterds"

Christopher Walken is fabulous in anything he does, but he plays a great villan/psycho. At Close Range, A View to a Kill, etc

Darth Vader, that voice.

I always liked seeing the late Jack Elam playing a bad guy in many of the older westerns. He also was very good at playing a funny part in this genre, especially the ones he played in with the late James Garner.

Denzel Washington in "Training Day" is so deliciously awful but not totally evil. 

Walton Goggins in Justified, I loved watching him!

An anti-hero I liked too was Spawn, he was dark and brooding but interesting.

Samuel L. Jackson's and John Travolta's characters in Pulp Fiction.... Christoph Waltz in Inglorious B's is another one several of you have mentioned; Quentin Tarantino is good at writing villains with some charm.

Does Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolfman count?  Are they villains?

I always felt bad for them because for the most part they didn't ask for their affliction and poor Frankenstein didn't ask to be brought in the world period.

The one Dracula that I didn't care for was the one played by Gary Oldman - gahhh.
