100 Favorite Villians of All Time in Film

A villain's presence on screen can define a film, leaving an unforgettable impact through menace, philosophy, or sheer unpredictability. Some villains embody pure chaos, like an anarchist tearing down the fabric of order, while others operate with chilling precision, controlling fate itself. Some are tragic figures, consumed by their own obsessions, while others are nightmarish enigmas lurking in the dark. Whether they manipulate with charm, exude cold ruthlessness, or descend into madness, these antagonists captivate us. Their actions, motives, and terrifying unpredictability challenge heroes and reshape narratives, proving that the best villains are often the soul of the story.
This is just my personal opinion of biggest baddies. How many of these do you know?
