But among the millions of cinematic antagonists who’ve ever terrorized the screen, which baddies are too good to forget? Compelling villains have been a staple since tribes gathered around fires and told stories. Popular movies merely build upon our ancient traditions, but the art and craft of cinema have made some uniquely iconic villains. Here are 32 of the greatest movie villains of all time. 32. Catherine Tramell (Basic Instinct) (Image credit: TriStar Pictures) Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct stays infamous, especially thatinterrogation scene, and it’s all because of Sharon Stone. In Verhoeven’s classic erotic thriller from 1992, Stone portrays Catherine Tramell, a wealthy heiress and textbook narcissist who wields her body like a knife, her iconic slim-fitting white dress its sheath. A true reincarnation of noir femme fatales of yore, Catherine Tramell drew the boundaries of sexuality in mainstream Hollywood with just a switch of her criss-crossed legs. 31. John Doe (Seven) (Image credit: New Line Cinema) 30. Alonzo Harris (Training Day) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) 29. Regina George (Mean Girls) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) “Fetch” is never going to happen, but Regina George is forever. In the iconic millennial smash hit Mean Girls, Rachel McAdams appears in a star-making performance as Regina George, the leader of the “Plastics” who runs the clique like she’s a crime boss. The meanest of the titular “mean girls,” Regina emotionally manipulates and tortures virtually all those around her at North Shore High School – which is ultimately discovered to be a poor outlet for her pent-up aggression. She may not be a supervillain or a serial killer, but Regina George is a true teenage tyrant who proves that looks can almost kill.

Count Dracula (Dracula and Horror of Dracula) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) The OG vampire who made neck biting sound like a thrill, Count Dracula of Bram Stoker’s seminal 1897 novel is the be-all, end-all of the gothic monsters. While many different actors have played Dracula, he’s best remembered through Bela Lugosi (in 1931’s Dracula) and Christopher Lee (in 1958’s Horror of Dracula); both men inhabited an iconic portrayal that’s defined the character and vampires overall for generations. (Fun fact: Did you know vampires didn’t necessarily have fangs in popular culture until Christopher Lee wore them?) A symbol of the aristocracy being blood-sucking predators over the poor. Count Dracula is sexyandsinister, the only one of the original Universal Monsters who could steal your breath away. 27. Gordon Gekko (Wall Street) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) 26. HAL9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Truly nothing is more terrifying than an A.I. saying the words: “I’m sorry, I can’t let you do that.” The villain in Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL begins the movie as a computerized assistant to the humans aboard the spaceshipDiscovery Onebefore violently turning on them. While HAL predates many other iconic robot characters in science fiction cinema, and certainly before home assistants like Alexa, HAL symbolizes mankind’s eternal war with progress. As generative artificial intelligence rapidly evolves, HAL remains an eerily foreboding figure. 25. Elijah Price, aka “Mr. Glass” (Unbreakable) (Image credit: Touchstone Pictures) They called him “Mr. Glass.” Before the rise of superhero blockbusters, M. Night Shyalaman deconstructed the genre’s tropes and conventions with his cerebral thriller Unbreakable. Sitting opposite Bruce Willis' David Dunn is Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, a steely but eloquent art collector and comics obsessive who seeks out David Dunn to become the hero of his own villain story. In some ways, Shyamalan’s movie and its villain predicted the toxicity of fandoms – not merely the entitlement, but the determination to live out a narrative that exists only to them. 24. Xu Wenwu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) (Image credit: Marvel Studios) 23. Rose Armitage (Get Out) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) Villainy has never been so…white. In Jordan Peele’s searing sci-fi horror Get Out, Allison Williams plays the deceptively amiable Rose, a photogenic white girl from a liberal upper middle class family from cozy upstate New York. But what her boyfriend Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) doesn’t know is the ancient evil that his girlfriend descends from. Ultimately, the genius of Rose is how unassuming and harmless she appears – until slowly, she is revealed to be the most disturbing one of her entire clan. Just watch how she eats her cereal. 22. The Queen (Snow White) (Image credit: Walt Disney Studios) The blueprint for allDisneyvillains, The Queen (or “Evil Queen,” as if her whole deal wasn’t already obvious) is the ultimate antagonist from the Magic Kingdom. Classically evil, the Queen wants nothing more than to be “The Fairest in the Land” and thus plots to kill Snow White out of her own insecurity. The embodiment of vanity, sadism, and cruelty, the Queen is why so many fear their own stepparents. While Disney has spawned other like-minded villainesses like Maleficent and Cruella De Ville, the Queen still reigns supreme. 21. Hans Gruber (Die Hard) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) 20. Anne Wilkes (Misery) (Image credit: MGM) The scary thing about Anne Wilkes, from Rob Reiner’s 1990 movie Misery (based on the Stephen King novel) is that you can imagine her among the hordes at Comic-Con. Predating the modern era’s alarming abundance of fans with parasocial relationships to creators and even fictional characters, Kathy Bates stars in Misery as a nurse who kidnaps an author (James Caan) to write a new ending for her favorite book series. The brilliance of Bates' Oscar-winning role is how her hospitality grows hostile, fostering a false sense of security before her plan is unveiled. We all want happy endings, but Anne Wilkes is doing whatever it takes to get hers. 19. Jang Kyung-chu (I Saw the Devil) (Image credit: Magnet Releasing) 18. Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) (Image credit: New Line Cinema) 17. The Shark, AKA “Bruce” (Jaws) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) 16. Vincent (Collateral) (Image credit: Paramount Pictures) In Michael Mann’s dark L.A. noir Collateral, Tom Cruise plays Vincent, a contract killer embarking on a series of hits in a single night. A silver fox with a silver tongue, Vincent convinces a hapless cabbie (Jamie Foxx) to drive him around the City of Angels as an accomplice, ironically giving Foxx’s character the ride of his life. Cool and composed almost all the way through, so much of Vincent shines when he meets an unexpected character: Foxx’s sick and bedridden mother. Vincent may not be Tom Cruise’s all-time greatest character, but as one of the few times he’s been the antagonist, he’s unforgettable. 15. Scar (The Lion King) (Image credit: Walt Disney Studios) 14. Max Cady (Cape Fear) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) 13. Thanos (Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame) (Image credit: Marvel Studios) When the Marvel Cinematic Universe needed a threat to anchor its franchise around, it found the ultimate villain in Thanos. Originating from the mind of comic book creator Jim Starlin, Thanos is an alien warlord who hunts relentlessly for the Infinity Stones to, as he claims, save the universe from dwindling resources. While you can easily poke holes in Thanos' logic, what matters is that Thanos is dangerous in how much he believes his way is the only right way. And he’s got the muscle to overpower all who stand in his way. From his initial cameo at the end of 2012’s The Avengers to his onscreen dominance in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Thanos earns his title of “Mad Titan” for a whole generation.

Eve Harrington (All About Eve) (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) Ambition and betrayal are under the spotlight in All About Eve, with Anne Baxter playing the title character in an Oscar-nominated performance. In All About Eve, a seemingly starstruck Broadway fan, Eve Harrington (Baxter) becomes close to her stage idol Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Eve emotionally manipulates Margo to sympathize with her and fold her into her inner circle, after which Eve unveils her true intentions to replace Margo as Broadway’s newest starlet. Through its antagonist, All About Eve plays out the eternal war between youth and experience, between trust and deception, all for an attentive audience. 10. Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) 9. Norman Bates (Psycho) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) 8. Agent Smith (The Matrix) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Nothing in the Matrix is real, but the threat of its agents are. In the Wachowskis' revolutionary sci-fi film franchise, the machines exercise their collective will over The Matrix via emissaries called agents who are too powerful for any one person – except for “The One.” In the film, the main nemesis agent is the iron-like Agent Smith, whose deliberate speech and lack of expression make him unnerving as he is threatening. While the sequels see Agent Smith amass far more power than even the machines care for, his first appearance is unforgettable, as is his delivery of the words “Mr. Anderson.” 7. Amon Göth (Schindler’s List) (Image credit: Universal Pictures) 6. The Joker (The Dark Knight) (Image credit: Warner Bros.) With just three words in the form of a question – “Why so serious?” – The Joker earned his place in cinematic history. In Christopher Nolan’s epic 2008 superhero tentpole The Dark Knight, the late Heath Ledger plays Batman’s famed arch-enemy The Joker, reimagined as a domestic terrorist seizing on post-9/11 paranoia. That Ledger died months before the film’s release added a haunting aura to his acclaimed portrayal. Between the spectacle of Ledger’s transformation and the overall threatening vibe of the Joker himself, The Dark Knight became more than just a big superhero movie but the must-see event of its decade. 5. The T-1000 (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) (Image credit: StudioCanal) 4. Michael Myers (Halloween) (Image credit: Trancas International) All slashers owe a debt to John Carpenter and his creation, Michael Myers. In 1978, Carpenter unleashed Halloween, still one of the most defining horror movies ever made. The movie follows suburban teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as she endures one deadly Halloween and fights off a mute killer, Michael Myers (Nick Castle). Dressed to kill in a workwear jumpsuit, a repainted Captain Kirk mask, and armed with a humble kitchen knife, Michael Myers lets his actions speak louder than words – and it’s why he’s still an icon. 3.
