02: Darth Vader. Star Wars Saga
01 Lord Voltemort. Harry Potter sage.

Friends and I are tearing this list apart. We felt Vader should be number one with Sauron from LOTR at least in the top ten, somewhere. And how could the Joker be on there when the film isn't even out yet. Whose to say that role is going to be better than Jack Nickelson's legendary performance, when it's not out yet for us to judge accurately?

[Raph's Girl]

What?! Kaaaaaaahn isn't in the top 5?! How rude!

[Tinuvielsdreams]

yeah that surprises me a bit, Vader was knocked from 1 by Voldemort.
Joker making 5 actually makes me a little excited because it means maybe the list was made by people who have seen the Dark Knight already and the Joker is really amazing and terrifying like I think he will be.
But this list like many others is all opinion, we each have our own ideas about who should or shouldn't be on it

[Jack Skellington]

13: Freddy Krueger. A Nightmare on Elm Street= yayy :):) freddy's my homie ! i'm so glad he's on the list !

[cqb101]

Other than the ridiculous amount of misspellings and the fact that Vader isn't #1, I don't really have any problems with it. It's nice to see Michael Myers ahead of Freddy, and that Hans Gruber is included. The only person I can think of that I wish was on there is Mr. Blonde, from Reservoir Dogs, though I'm not really surprised he's not.

[Mecha Cow]

The movie Voldemort can't even touch Vader, though it should be noted that the latter's reputation has been severely damaged by the prequels.

[Hannah]

Voltemort?

[KROW]

Garbage.

John Ryder from 1986's Hitcher is on it. Leatherface isn't on it. Ash's possessed hand isn't on it. How did they come up with this list, a telephone survey taken by Kramer?

[Drtooth]

Guys... this is yet another arbitrary list by an arbitrary source. Since when are they the high and mighty makers of supreme opinion? And it's MOVIEFONE, not even AFI.

Every schnook out there is making a "Top 52 Hebrew Dubbings of a movie about Christopher Columbus film" or "The Random 67 movie caterers of the 80's and 90's" list. I think we at the Technodrome should make our OWN lists. How about that? It's a lot more fun than reading list after list after list of odd sources.

[poiuytre]

It's actually a pretty decent list. Vader could have been #1, but the prequels made that impossible.

[Cure]

We all know Maleficent is the top villain out there. Scary bitch...

[The Stryker]

IMO, Jack wasn't even that good as the Joker. He was playing himself playing The Joker if that makes any sense. It was like a MadTV skit at times.

Vader > Voldemort, Always.

[Jester]

I agree. As a kid that witch made me wet my pants. The first Disney movie released on VHS and my parents had it it seems for the soul purpose of scaring me to death.

Completely agreed. It's not going to be hard for Heath Ledger to top his performance.

[That Matt Guy]

um, dracula anyone?

i heart frank booth though.

[ToTheNines]

Completely agreed. It's not going to be hard for Heath Ledger to top his performance.

I always thought he was a good Joker as a kid, he dosen't totally stink but now it's just nothing special.

[Voltron]

Dracula sucks, man.

Everyone knows that the worst villain of all time is Robbie Rotten. And his exclusion completely renders that list defunct!

Opinion here, not fact, and I disagree. I still think Jack's performance was one of the best villains of all time. Heath Ledger's from the clips I have seen so far, his portrayal is suspisciously akin to Russell Crowe's portrayal of Sid 6.7 in Virtuosity. But of course, this is my opinion here.

And I'll go see The Dark Knight, even though I had originally had no intentions. I didn't care for Batman Begins at all. But Gary Oldman will be worth the ticket price I guess.

[The Stryker]

"This town needs a enema! Wait till they get a loada me. He stole my balloons!"

Yeah, horrible.

I would agree if he was actually playing the Joker. Instead Nicholson was playing himself (which he oh so often does). In clown make-up.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

Oh, and having seen The Dark Knight, Ledger's performance is nothing short of breathtaking. There is absolutely no sign of Heath in that performance. It's really quite amazing.
