I liked Patricia Velasquez as Anck-Su-Namun in these movies, she was hot!  ;)

Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction

All those sucky saps in Reservoir Dogs, they were just a bunch of bad guys (except for the one, I believe) that got what they were asking for.

Also, Billy Zane in "Dead Calm" was rather ruthless.

Hmmm...Joe Pesci in 'Goodfellas' (though he wasn't a 'strict' villain), Anthony Hopkin's as 'Hannibal' Lector, 'Pennywise' in Stephen King's 'It', The villain in 'FunHouse Horror', maybe 'Leatherface' in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the villain in American Psycho.

Glenn Close as a stalker in 'Fatal Attraction' also had a bit of the scare factor...though I think her wild looking hair had something to do with it  ;D.

Benicio Del Toro in THE HUNTED, one of the most violent, action packed movies ever :o

Bruce Willis in THE JACKAL

What about Darth Vader?  Can't forget about him!

Darth Vader was a pussy (am I allowed to use that word in that context? ;-))...the Emperor (Emperor Palpatine) was the real villain.

Pennywise!!!!  OMG...I HATE CLOWNS!! 

Leatherface...creepy.  Great movie, though.  My favorite scene is when they try to get grandpa to use the hammer on the girl.
