Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984) is the greatest movie villain in the history of cinema. Runner-ups include Annie Wilkes from "Misery" (1990), Jigsaw from "Saw" (2004), Norman Bates from "Psycho" (1960), Hannibal Lecter from "The Silence of the Lambs" (1992) among several others which I may or may not possibly list later.

Clarence Boddicker from RoboCop (1987) gets my vote

[td888]

According to my wife it's Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men. She really gets the creeps from this character. The other day I was watching it on the movie-channel and we almost got a big fight because I was watching this movie.... i tried to explain he was acting, but for his sake I hope Javier never meets my wife. Women....
