40. Severus Snape

He was a former "Death-Eater"yet sacrifices his life in the end for Harry Potter... What an admirable villain!!

Key Line: "Clearly fame isn't everything, is it Mr. Potter?"




39. Coach Bud Kilmer

Movie: Varsity Blues
Year: 1999
Actor: Jon Voight

Why: This racist, high school football coach refuses to lose and will stop at nothing to win his state championship. Coach Kilmer is a typical conservative Texan who puts his ego above everything and everyone... he is as cold-blooded as they come, and must win at all costs, even if it means risking the health of his own players...

38. Tommy DeVito

Movie: Goodfellas
Year: 1992
Actor: Joe Pesci
Why: He's a hot-headed, Italian Mafia man, on his way to the top, and isn't afraid to kill those who disrespect him.... Sure he may not look like much, or even sound like much, but he definitely knows how to pack a punch when it counts.

Key Line: "No, No, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the Fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's so funny?"



37. Frank Costello

Movie: The Departed
Year: 2006
Actor: Jack Nicholson

Why: Frank Costello is an untouchable Irish Mob Boss, with a serious rat problem that is driving him insane. He is a ruthless person who believes that no one gives you anything, you have to take it. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty, and shows his true madness when he begins to play with a cut-off, bloody, hand...

Key Line: "When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"

36. King Agamemnon

Movie: Troy
Year: 2004
Actor: Brian Cox

Why: This war-mongering king believes that peace is for women and the weak. He unites the entire nation of Greece to wage war on Troy...

Actor: Johnny Depp

Why: After being falsely sentenced, this skilled barber changes his name to Sweeny Todd and re-opens his barber shop on Fleet Street.

Key Line: "I Will Have Vengeance!"




34. Derek Vineyard

Movie: American History X
Year: 2000
Actor: Edward Norton

Why: This intelligent white supremacist is a passionate leader of a Neo-Nazi underground based in L.A. He is an angry, obsessive, know-it-all person with some serious grudges. After he decapitates two black men, he spends some time in jail where he begins to rethink life. He makes for a very chilling yet realistic villain...

33. Jules Winnfield

Movie: Pulp Fiction
Year: 1994

32. Antonio Salieri

Movie: Amadeus
Year: 1984
Actor: F. Murray Abraham

Why: This sophisticated musician of mediocrity lives a life of jealousy and claims that God has abandoned him... that God mocks him through the genius of Mozart... Having lost all his faith, Salieri decides to develop a master-plan to drive Mozart into madness... He becomes Mozart's final death requiem, yet later falls into madness himself...

Key Line: "I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint!"




31. Mola Ran

Movie: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Year: 1984
Actor: Amrish Puri

Why: This demonic priest performs human sacrifices and rituals by pulling out the person's heart, then dropping them down into burning hot lava... He is as freaky as they come, especially when his eyes glow with excitement as he pulls out his victim's heart...
