2. It was 'Serenity'.
A beautifully crafted character, excellently portrayed. One couldn't ask for even an iota more.

I love intriguing, original villains. And this is one of those rare occasions where the villain is more than a mere piece of two dimensional cardboard, but comes across as multi-dimensional.

34. Darth would be mine as well
Of course, having Hayden Christenson pouting his way through the last two movies kind of ruined the image...

18. Harry Lime
We spend the whole first two-thirds of "The Third Man" waiting for Orson Welles to appear...we think, he'd better be worth it...and by God, he is...the first shot of him smiling under a streetlight, standing in a doorway, is a classic...and his speech on the ferris wheel is worth all of today's so-called "villains" put together...can't be anybody else...

24. Look at those people on the ground. They look just like ants. Who cares
if one of them stops moving?

Yeah-Lime is an incredible villain.

29. Oldman plays a great villian
He was excellent as Stansfield, the villanous DEA agent, in "Leon, The Professional."

Besson seems to like Oldman eh?

35. an oldie...
The Guru from "Gunga Din." He is the best sort; fanatical, smart, and brave.
Bruce Dern in "The Cowboys" is the best of the cringing sort. I mean, he shoots John Wayne in the back. Wow.
