IMDb Poll Board: Top 5 Movie Villains of all Time

Mine are:

1. Hannibal Lecterhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/mediaviewer/rm2961633793/

2. Darth Vader - 'The Empire Strikes Back'

3. Pennywise - 'It'

4. The Terminator - 'The Terminator'

5. John Doe - 'Se7en'

What a fun idea.

1) Jaws (the shark)

2) Hannibal Lecter

3) Norman Bates

4) Darth Vader

5) Annie Wilkes. No, make that Amon Goeth.

I feel pretty sure about the first four but not so much about the fifth, for a few reasons, but especially because something about it feels a bit disrespectful.  I also feel like I'm forgetting someone, particularly from classic cinema, maybe film noir. 

1. The Xenomorph from Alien (1979)

3. Saruman from The Lord of the Rings trilogy

4. Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty (1959)

5. Biff Tannen from Back to the Future (1985)
