The 50 Best Movie Villains of All Time, Ranked

Comments

1. Glitch Comet: i'm not seeing a lot of love for the actual masterminds here - can't say i blame them for overlooking renfield, though
2. Jonasm: don't disagree with your list overall, but the joker gets an unfair amount of credit sometimes - he's more a force of chaos than a real strategist
3. Umbra Sable: toughest part of ranking a list like this is leaving out so many iconic underappreciated ones, but where's Cruella?
4. Leobianchi: somehow their #1 is still a more compelling character than their #49
5. Fractal Sable: villain lists are always so vague – when does 'greatest' mean 'most iconic
6. Aiden: I'm surprised Darth Vader ranked above the White Witch, I get what you're saying about his influence on pop culture but Wicked's complexity wins for me
7. Cipher Lynx: interesting they left out Norman Bates from Psycho - thought he'd be top 5 easily
8. Miasantosxo: what's the criteria for ranking villains - is it just box office draw or do they consider character development too?
9. Static Phantom: I'm surprised they ranked him that high, but I think it's because he's more of a force nature rather than a villain in the classical sense
