9. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs)
Comedian Hannibal Buress likes to point out that the name Hannibal was once synonymous with the Carthaginian leader, one of the greatest military minds in world history. But since the film The Silence of the Lambs, the name has been usurped by a psychiatric cannibal. Dr. Lecter is behind bars for the majority of the movie The Silence of the Lambs, but his presence is persistently ominous, instantly deconstructing our hero Clarice Starling within mere moments of meeting her. And of course when he gets free, he goes on a rampage of perverse violence which ultimately results in him wearing a dude's face.
Why We Can't Help But Love Him: Hannibal is like that murderous father figure that we never had. Even the rookie fed Clarice cannot help but be lured into his web.
