So much went into that role. Just look at how Heath studied the look and colour palette of the Joker's costume, the structure of his makeup, the state of his hair. You can almost smell the guy. Good to know some broad lines came from Rutger's Hitcher, another one whose stink came of the screen to follow us decades after... And Tom as Rudy in Ironweed, where he plays besides Jack Nicholson 2 years before his Joker, might have put some eary likeability into Heath's performance. But it's Heath who does the magic here. The voice, the laughter, the absence of fear without removing the adrenaline, all the little sounds that come from that mouth... And let's be honest, when Heath enters the scene it's his universe we're watching. Just has the Joker would have it.

Don't get me wrong, Star Wars is a great story with many worthwhile accomplishments, but I do sincerely believe people tend to overrate the series. It seems that no matter the category, be it characters, visual effects, soundtrack, cinematography, story, or whatever crosses one's mind, Star Wars always pops up as the GOAT which is simply not true. While it does nail a lot of aspects flawlessly, I find lots of other movies surpassing it in many ways. Yes, it's good having it on a list, but don't give it more credit than it's due just because it is the most popular choice. It's one of the reasons why i love CineFix so much.

No Country for Old Men is one of my favourite movies of all time and it was Anton that carried the movie. He was absolutely terrifying and he managed to make himself that way mostly through body language which speaks to how greatly Javier Bardem protrayed him as an actor. Also I can't believe Hans Landa doesn't rate a mention. That opening scene alone was one of the great scenes in cinematic history. He was pure evil, he had a purpose, was highly intelligent, highly dangerous and most of all he was absolutely terrifying. Definitely one of the best villians of all time.

He had zero compromise, he wasn't doing it for ego, or for fame, or for notiriety or for money. He did it just cos he's evil. It was incredibly acted too. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of movies in my time and there are almost none that compare to him.

Thank You, probably the most underrated villain in regards to how impactful his villainy is upon one of the best films of all time. They did give Klaus Kinske a shout out in this video but it is not fair.

My list 10. The shadow man 9. General zod 8. King Rameses 7. John doe 6. Vulture spiderman homecoming 5. Syndrome 4. Lord shen 3. Judge frolo 2. Darth vader 1. Joker jack Nicholson

I thought Vader was going to be on the list. Seemed to pop up in pretty much all the categories.

He was visually mentioned more than once, but like the shark in Jaws it's a character that has been discussed ad naseum.

This is a rare time when my top pick doesn’t even get mentioned. Agent Smith. Solid list though.

Ahhh the whole reason I searched this list to see if Sauron would make it. Maybe not number one but I’m more than happy he made the top 10

For the number two slot Topher Grace in Predators was really good and deserves an honorable mention.

Two words for you guys: Dolores Umbridge. She deserves at least a mention in this list, and would win a category about taking belief to far.

A great addition would've been Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd." He fits the "work in sheep's clothing" archetype so well, he almost redefined it. Amazing on so many levels: that is was Andy effing Griffith playing the part, that it was made in 1957 - foreshadowing everything we're experiencing right in this very moment in American politics, and that it still holds up stylistically to any similarly themed films of the past couple decades. It's that good, and most people don't know it even exists.

I was so scared that the cenobites wouldn't even be mentioned. Definitely my pick fort best supernatural horror villains.

Heath Ledger taken too soon. Can only imagine the roles he would have continued to play into his future

My list: Hal-9000 Michael Meyers Hannibal Lector Khan Noonian-Singh Heath Ledger's Joker. Hans Beckert from M Bill from Kill Bill Donald Pleasence's Bloefeld Darth Vader Anton Chigurh Honorable mentions: The spirits in the Black Lodge (Twin Peaks) Jack Torrence (The Shining) Juror #3 (12 Angry Men)

Your list is closer to mine but there's a couple I'm not familiar with but mine would include Patrick McGoohan s Longshanks from Braveheart

Lecter* And he’s not the villain in any of the films/books. He’s usually a malicious side character.

@@blakeharris58 I don't care, you're nitpicking just to troll.

Let’s be clear… Sid from Toy Story wasn’t a bad guy. He was a creative kid who took his toys apart and put them back together in interesting ways. He had a great imagination and given that his father was a drunk who couldn’t be bothered to take an interest in him, it’s no wonder he spent time a lot of his time in his room playing with the only friends he had, his toys. Not content to be stuck with the drab design concocted by the toy companies, he set him mind free and used craftsmanship to build unique and fun toys any child would enjoy. Shame on you for actively insinuating he’s on the same level as the Terminator or Nurse Psychopath… shame!

If David Cronenberg is picked to direct Toy Story 5, his Sid would do wonders with those toy parts.

As far as he knows the toys aren't alive so he's not doing anything wrong, but since they are alive it kind of makes him like the shark in Jaws; where he has to be stopped even though he doesn't understand he's doing anything wrong.

Love the Roy Batty shout.

Loved the video, but unrelated tip for english speakers when pronouncing portuguese/brazilian names: -"Lil Zi"😂 we say it Zé, its a dimunitive of the name José. -Also we pronounce J's like you, the spanish are the ones that say "RRosé"😂 -And when a name ends with O (Paulo, Tiago) you tend to say Tiag"hoe" and we say Tiag"u"

What’s the difference between this list and the old one?

Darth Vader

Not a SINGLE clip nor mention of Edward Norton in Primal Fear?!

can't really argue with a list this good!

I am so happy that City of God is getting some praise on your awesome channel. That movie shook me to my core, especially the villain and his insane journey.

Thank you Make the top 10 best "sacrifised" roles in movies

Frank Booth all the way ! Great list as usual...

I would have put "M" as one of the numbered villains, but good list overall.

I’m so pleased that you picked my favorite!
