Teddy KGB!
Brick Top from Snatch
Hatchet Harry from Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels

How about Buffalo Bill or Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs
But of the original list, I'd say Dennis Hopper from Speed.

 

[mazdadan]

Out of the list above, I choose Dennis Hopper.

Another personal favorite not listed above is Ed Norton.

Teddy KGB!
Brick Top from Snatch
Hatchet Harry from Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels
Caesar in Gladiator

I just watched Gladiator yesterday...what a great job he did and what a great movie.
It might be cheesy but I've always liked Darth Maul from Episode 1.
Agent Smith
Several from LOTR
I also liked Billy the Kid from Green Mile

Dennis Hopper is one of the great's - no question. We happen to share a birthday, too (birthday) May 17th.

Gene Simmons in the movie Runaway

 

[wscottl]

Johnny Tran? He's about as evil as the Johnny from the Karate Kid movie.

Brick Top? Is he the one with the pigs? Good choice. How about the "If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kind of pussy to drink it" guy?

Anyway, some of my favorites...

John Doe - SE7EN
Hannibal Lector - Hannibal
Darth Vader - Star Wars
The Alien - Alien Trilogy
Tommy DeVito - Goodfellas
Travis Bickle - Taxi Driver
Jack Torrance - The Shining

Alan Rickman was also a great villain in Quigley Down Under

Geofery Rush in The Pirates of the Caribean

Samuel L. Jackson in Unbreakable

Wilford Brimley in The Firm

I'm a big fan of the actors who have the versatility to play great villains even when they are usually cast as good guys. (Refering to my last two examples.)
