Moviefone's Top 25 Villians
 
Moviefone recently had a top 25 movie villains list. Here is the link to it.

http://www.moviefone.com/insidemovie...in/5#c13105588

Here's the list.

25: Agent Smith. The Matrix
24: Khan Noonien Singh. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
23: Frank Booth. Blue Velvet
22: Cruella de Vil. 101 Dalmations
21: Alonzo Harris. Training Day
20: Lex Luthor. Superman
19: Joan Crawford. Mommie Dearest
18: T-1000. Terminator 2, Judgement Day
17: Dr Christian Szell. Marathon Man
16: Annie Wilkes. Misery
15: Tom Powers. Public Enemy
14: Mrs Iselin. Manchurian Candidate (1962)
13: Freddy Krueger. A Nightmare on Elm Street
12: Michael Myers. Holloween
11: Harry Powell. Night of the Hunter
10: Queen of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
09: Max Cady. Cape Fear
08: Hans Gruber. Die Hard
07: Chigurgh. No Country for Old Men
06: Goldfinger. Goldfinger
05: Joker: The Dark Knight
04: Hannibale Lecter. Silence of the Lambs
03: Wicked Witch of the West. Wizard of Oz
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?

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

Tinuvielsdreams 07-13-2008 09:08 PM

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

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

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.

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.

Voltemort?

KROW 07-14-2008 10:25 AM

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 07-14-2008 10:59 AM

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 07-14-2008 12:09 PM

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

"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.
