      Two who should be here who are not:
      Ernst Blofeld; "You only live twice" and "Diamonds are forever". I mean come on Dr. Evil is based on the "You only live twice" Blofeld.
      Gutman; "The Maltese Falcon". Understated but brilliantly played by Sydney Greenstreet.

      The joker is the ultimate villain:D I only hope that "The Killing Joke" gets adapted to a movie, animated preferrably, with Mark Hamill as the Joker:D

      The Best Movie Villains of All Time at 4/16/2012 1:45 PM
      I woulda voted for joker if they had went with the Jack Nicholson one instead
