The Coolest Villain?
Villains are always much more interesting than the heros, by default. So let's hear it- your favorite onscreen villain?

If you can count him as a villain, Godzilla, when he's mean, particularly G-85. When he's not playing kiddie spiritual hero (which is also fun), Gojira is totally bad-ass, with no remorse for human or monster life!

On the human side of things, Dustin Hoffman as Hook has always been a favorite performance of mine. Christopher Lloyd's turns as villains, even in 80's camp films, are also very unique and convincing!

Oh, and for total creep factor, Robin Williams in One Hour Photo... wow!

Hooray for villains!

Without a doubt: Hans Gruber, The Sheriff of Nottingham and Severus Snape.
