Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 - Elle Driver (my favorite so far)

Narnia - Jadis the White Witch (Tilda was great!!)

Ran - Lady Kaede

Aliens - Alien Queen

GoldenEye - Xenia Onatopp (had to laugh at that name)

Sleeping Beauty - Maleficent

Angela Lansbury in "The Manchurian Candidate"

I also liked Meryl Streep in the remake for different reasons. Her vaguely incestuous relationship with her son was a little creepy.

Right now it's a tie between GoGo Yubari in Kill Bill Vol. 1 and the lady who rocked the role of Satan in The Passion of the Christ.

- Cruella Da Ville (from the animated Disney film 101 Dalmations)
- Sam Phillips as Katya (Die Hard: With a Vengeance)
- the female ninja from 'Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx' that makes mincemeat of a hapless adversary, and cuts off as many bodyparts as possible with a sword.

After seeing both films, Catherine Tramell, by far.

Damn, evil IS beautiful.

I think Maleficent is an inspired choice. I'd also have to agree with Audition, and throw in Milla Jovovich in Zoolander.

Does Sadako from The Ring count?

And, of course, Rita Hayworth in The Lady From Shanghai and Nicole Kidman in To Die For.
