Top 5 Movie Villains

Because they are weak and they suck. Sheesh, Dave, would of thought that was obvious.

Palpatine? meh. I suppose you might mention him.

Grievous though, he has no back story. No motivation. He's just a cool looking semi robot that wields a bunch of light sabres.

Um, this right here.

Thanks for writing my ,list for me so I didn't have to!

Don't know if he was mentioned but Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man. His performance is, arguably, the best Joker until Heath.

I think these deserve an honorable mention at least:

Pennywise in It
Agent Smith the Matrix
Hans Gruber ("shoot the glass!") Die Hard
Mr. Joshua ("It's Goddamned Christmas") Lethal Weapon
Alonzo Harris (Dnezel) in Training Day
Khan
Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Se7en


There seem to be two types of villains mentioned: the tortured souls (e.g.Darth Vader) and the dudes who thoruoghly enjoy their evilness (Joker).
