100 Greatest Movie Villains Of All Time

85. Stanley Kowalski - A Streetcar Named Desire

Streetcar Named Desire Played By: Marlon Brando The film version of Stanley Kowalski is seen as the perfect male prototype - he looks like Marlon Brando, has huge muscles, is loyal to his friends and has a raw, animalistic love for his wife. But the animalistic physicality of Stanley is his evil as he is brutish and condemning of his wife's sister, Blanche. Stanley immediately hates Blanche because of her snobbery and delusion to her social class and the tensions mount and Stanley's temper becomes toxic and self-destructive. Stanley is abusive towards his wife and friends and his increasing hostility becomes a dangerous force that rips apart his household. The final scenes of the classic film based on the masterful play by Tennesse Williams are iconic and infamous showing the true evil nature of Stanley.

84. Vincent - Collateral

Collateral Played By: Tom Cruise Vincent is every man's worst nightmare. He's an intelligent, ruthless hitman incapable of emotional affection. His coldness makes him good at his job and he is thoroughly unhesitant when posed with the equation of murder. Vincent spends the movie bullying Jamie Foxx's cab driver into driving him to each of his five hits. He makes Max powerless as Vincent knows he is stronger, cleverer and a stone cold killer. He may be charming, well-dressed and physically attractive but he deals in explicit violence and he won't hesitate to strike if anybody gets in his way. His determination and relentlessness is what makes him one of cinema's finest assassins as killing is simply his business.

83. Jareth The Goblin King - Labyrinth

Played By: David Bowie Casting David Bowie as the villain in a fantasy film will always be a stroke of genius as the rock legend known for his flamboyancy was seemingly born for his role as a goblin king. He plays it suitably camp, but always with an underlying eerie menace typified by his lusting for a young Jennifer Connolly. Seeing his entrance when young will always be unsettling as everything from the hair to the clothes is over the top, garish and gothic. This is one of Bowie's best acting performances as he creates a fine villain to scare the children and one that adults won't be bored by either.
