That is great, but why no love for Jason? Up to the end of part IV, he was an alive, human, killer. Should have been included.

This could be a great start of something important.
There seems to be great flourish to recent villains and a limited breadth of more historical cinematic villains.
As corny as they may seem to be, their contributions to cinema can hardly be disputed- characters such as the Wicked Witch and Dracula as many others would be reasonable, if not necessary, additions to this.

OK, I know I’m supposed to know every one of these by sight, but has anyone put together a list? There’s a few villains I’ve missed that I’d like to catch up on.

I think the list is limited to human villains, so the other-worldly villains got left out.

Great list, but I think Christopher Walken was more evil than Gary Oldman in True Romance. You also forgot about George Hearst (Gerald McRaney) from Deadwood – possibly the most evil, manipulative and dangerous character even seen in a TV show.

I also would have accepted Tom Berenger in Platoon, Wes Studi in Last of the Mohicans, Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List, the Alien from all the Alien movies, and Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner.

Humans only, so no Roy Batty, no Alien.
