The best ever villains on screen

I have been watching a lot of thrillers lately. Maybe thats the reason I'm writing this post. Whatever, who cares! Here's the list:

1) Joker(The Dark Knight)- not the Nicholson joker Joker. but the Ledger badass Joker. The most terrifying personification of evil on screen. Ever.

2) Max Cady(Cape Fear)- if looks could kill, Cady would be a murderer. One of the very few villains who does little but terrifies most. Again, not the roguish De Niro Cady, but the classic Mitchum Cady.

3) Reverend Harry Powell(Night of the hunter)- "love" and "hate". Mitchum can be any child's nightmare for lives to come.

4) Dr. Hannibal Lecter(Silence of the lambs)- he's going to have you for supper. With chianti and fava beans.

5) Norman Bates(Psycho)- don't dare to book a room at the Bates motel. The mother will come looking for you.

6) Jack Torrance(The shining)- heeeere's Johnny! Be scared when daddy's home. 'Cause he's gonna cut you up in little pieces.

7) Anton Chigurh(No country for old men)- call it. Just call it. You stand to win everything. You lose, he will come for you. Even in your smallest hole in the farthest corner of the earth. He definitely will.

8) Alex DeLarge(A clockwork orange)- rape, Beethoven, drugs. Voila!

9) Hans Beckert(M)- he couldn't help it. So he killed. Only children. How much more terrifying can you get?

10) Harry Lime(The third man)- how can you fight a villain who isn't even there?

11) Dr.Christian Szell(Marathon man)- Hitler died. Some nazis didn't. They still terrorise the face of the earth. And some, like Dr.Szell can make you afraid of dentists. Very much.

12) Freddy Krueger(Nightmare on elm street)- don't fall asleep. Or Freddy is going to tear you apart. The demon who makes nightmares come true, Freddy is right up there.

There are a lot more I wanted to add. Like Leatherface(Texas chain saw massacre), Henry(Portrait of a serial killer) etc. But then its going to be a never ending list. This looks much better.
