Oh and by the way, if you don't consider a man who rapes women just for the thrill to be a villain, I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with you?

[knockoutpunch1]

Depends on how you look at it. You do know that it is possible for the protagonist to be the villain? Yes?

[paddyoclown]

kid from the film we need to talk about Kevin. good video mix btw

[SpartanMartan973]

Great video, though you are missing my most dreaded villain ever: the Nazi, Amon Goeth from Shindler's List. He would have made an excellent addition to this.

[Kuind Alcântara]

But i still think Hannibal was greater than him and so was The Joker

[douglas wahid]

I saw Brando in apoc now, he wasn't a villain he just thought of warfare differently.

[douglas wahid]

no country for old men It wasn't the person just the whole movie was a villain. So slow and boring.

Godspeed you Black Emperor!

It's a new film, but Malcolm MacDowell in "The Employer" deserves a mention!
