Movie villains are crucial components of great films.
Others, such as the Joker, Nurse Ratched, and Darth Vader, have achieved iconic status.
The top 5 film villains of all time are listed below.
#5 Hannibal Lecter (“Silence of the Lambs” franchise)
Yes, Buffalo Bill is a fairly horrible guy in this movie, but the real bad guy is Hannibal, the “cannibal.” Anthony Hopkins, who won an Oscar for the part and delivered a flawless performance, would go on to reprise it in two follow-up films. Additionally, the character has appeared on a TV show.
#4 Terminator
It is the film that elevated Arnold Schwarzenegger to stardom. Schwarzenegger and filmmaker James Cameron developed the unstoppable T-800, an adversary that we still can’t get enough of today (despite several terrible sequels).
#3 Darth Vader (Star Wars)
It’s difficult to imagine a villain more infamous and influential than Darth Vader. The epitome of evil, whether he is Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who joins the dark side (and slaughters children in the process), or the Sith Lord (James Earl Jones), who can kill a man by crushing his throat by utilizing the Force.
#2 The Joker (Dark Knight)
Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker, the villain from DC Comics, was superior to all others. His performance in the middle film of Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy would win him an Oscar and help the film become one of the all-time greatest comic book blockbusters.
# 1 Nurse Ratched (Ratched)
Sarah Paulson gives a sinister performance in the grisly origin Ratched. However, according to critic Luke Buckmaster, the show’s entire premise is incorrect because Nurse Ratched was never a bad guy.
