Who do you think is the best movie villain of the century so far?!

Heath Ledger's joker: _'"A legendary performance of a legendary character, in a legendary movie"_

Joker is the only badass villain that can make the list twice!

The fact that Davy Jones didn’t even get an honorable mention…

Bane should be higher every line he says is a quote

Not even Pennywise can beat the Clownprinces of Crime, he is so evil that he stole two places of the list

I loved the 2019 Joker, but Heath Ledgers' portrayal of the joker is the best. R.I.P. Heath ❤

Kylo ren but no Palpatine? _It's treason, then._

I wished Ledger was still alive and could see how he made the best villains of all times. Rest In Peace 😔😔

*Heath Ledger‘s Joker is going to be number one. I’m calling it.*

Bane(2012) Joker(2008) Joker(2019) Pennywise(2017) Voldemort(2010-2011) Amy Dunne(2014) Clearly WB has dominated the list...

"all jokers will forever be measured against Heath Ledger's performance". Damn right, they will!

Anton Chigurh is the most villainous man i ever seen on screen! He's realistic and a true killer.

You know a villain is legendary when they appear twice on the same list

I would have liked to see Magneto get atleast an honourable mention

Davy Jones was both written and performed extremely well, imo the best villian ever.

Decent list but just missing one crucial character - Davy Jones fr Pirates of the Caribbean. Gave me absolute chills first time I saw Dead Man's chest and has astounding villainous presence

Davy Jones from pirates of the caribbean should be here

I personally like Davy Jones from POTC

Heath Ledger......masterpiece of a performance.👌

Vader isn't on the list Me: this is outrageous it's unfair!

Captain Barbosa is the most underrated villain of the century , a truly amazing performance by the oscar winner Geoffrey Rush , equal with Jack Sparrow imo.

the sad thing two face was great but everyone is focusing at joker

I noticed nobody is talking about Hans Landa in the comment section. He owns every scene he's in.

I love Loki! Unlike any other villains famous or not famous, Loki, in my opinion is my FAVORITE villain that stole my heart!

That joke at the end almost warranted a dislike, i thought y’all really left Health Ledger’s Joker off this list

Bane is way too low, considering some of the entries placed above him.

I honestly think landa is better than Thanos. Landa has authority and strikes fear in all of his scenes, even disillusioning the audience into believing him as a charming anti hero. He masks his cruelty in a charming and subtle persona, a calm before a storm.

Wow. This channel has gotten better. Much better commentary and I agree with most names on this list.

Considering this list technically won’t be complete until 80 years from now, I wonder if WatchMojo will be alive be then 🤔

Bane: "No one cared who I was 'til I put on the mask." "I'm Gotham's reckoning." Terence Fletcher: "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than 'Good job.'." "Don't slow down." Patrick Bateman: "There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there's no real me, only an entity, something illusory." "All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed." Erik Killmonger: "I lived my entire life waiting for this moment." "I want the throne!" Saruman: "We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend." "I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain!" Rose Armitage: "They are not racist. I would have told you. I wouldn't be bringing you home to them. Think about that for just two seconds." "You know I can't give you these keys, right, babe?" Dean Armitage: "By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could." "We are the gods trapped in cocoons." Missy Armitage: "Would anyone like tea?" "Now, sink into the floor. Sink. You are now in the Sunken Place." Jeremy Armitage: "So the thing about jujitsu is...strength doesn't matter, right? It's all about this. It's a strategic game, like chess." "I wasn't going to hurt him." Koba: "For years I was a prisoner in their lab. They cut me... tortured me. You freed me, I would do anything you ask. But we must show strength!" "Caesar loves humans more than apes!" Calvin Candie: "Gentleman, you had my curiosity, now you have my attention." "WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER?!" Loki: "I am Loki...of Asgard. And I am burdened with glorious purpose." "We have an army!" Alonzo Harris: "King Kong ain't got SHIT on me!" "This shit's chess. It ain't checkers!" Pennywise: "I'll feast on your flesh as I feed on your fear..." "Time to float!" Amy Dunne: "Did you think I'd let him destroy me and end up happier than ever? No fuckin' way." "I'm the cunt you married." Kylo Ren: "I will fulfill our destiny." "Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to." Bill the Butcher: "Amsterdam? I'm New York." "When I close my hand it becomes a fist. And, any time that I wish, I can turn it against you." The Joker (Phoenix): "I used to think that my life was a tragedy. But now I realize... it's a fucking comedy." "What do you get when you crossed a mentally ill loner with a SOCIETY, THAT ABANDONS HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH!? I'll tell you what you get, YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKIN' DESERVE!" Voldemort: "There is no good or evil. There is only power... and those too weak to seek it!" "Avada Kedavra!" Anton Chigurh: "Call it." "If the rule you followed... brought you to this... of what use was the rule?" Hans Landa: "You are now in the hands of the SS. My hands to be exact." "Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing." Thanos: "This does bring a smile to my face." "I am inevitable." HM: Ghidorah ("*roar*"), Commodus ("AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!"), Immortan Joe ("You will ride eternal- shiny and chrome."), Vidal ("You could have obeyed me!"), and Vincent ("There's no good reason, there's no bad reason to live or to die.") The Joker (Ledger): "You... complete... me!" "Why so serious?" "What doesn't kill you makes you stranger."

I like how this list was bookended by characters from The Dark Knight Trilogy

this is one of the most satisfying video to watch!!!!!

Tbh I was skipping ahead and when I saw “#1 Society” I was about to lose it

It's not a joke, The Society is a true villain.

Hahahahahaha! You got me. I almos tlost my friggin mind when you said "Society!" LOL. Well done

Whenever joker's theme played I got goosebumps especially the harvey dent going to jail one

Magneto, Silva and Davy Jones we’re not even mentioned.

In my opinion Joker and Bane from The Dark Knight, Thanos, Emperor Palpatine, Lord Voldermot, Pennywise, King Ghidorah were the best talented villains I've seen in 21 century movies.

OMG I loved that you put SOCIETY first!!!!! That alone - even given as troll - gives 10 thumbs up from me!!! I also clap, you hear me?

I felt so sad when I found out Jigsaw wasn’t on the list

I hope no movie-onlys ever learn that Comics Thanos made a female version of himself with the Infinity Gauntlet to bang...

Where is Davy Jones?? He realy deserved it to be on this List

Willem Dafoe as the green goblin is still one of the most chilling performances you will see

That dance that pennywise did in his hellish looking home was funny as hell

It’s crazy to think that Anton Chigurh, The Joker, and Hans Landa all came out in consecutive years, No Country for Old Men (2007), The Dark Knight (2008), and Inglorious Basterds (2009) All won Oscars for best supporting actor. And all 3 are considered some of the best villains of all time

I also really love Barbossa in the first Pirates of the caribbean movie 💖 Geoffrey Rush was amazing.

Completely agree 💯 percent acceptable list👍

Great list

Fun Fact : Thanos is a mutated grape that can talk

"Caesar weak" "Koba weaker" Oh damn!!!!!!

watchmojo: and number one the society, joker me:wtf watchmojo: jk it’s heath ledger’s joker me: that’s what I thought

Amazing list if they have Terrance fletcher on this list. Amazing addition for this list

I'm shocked that Emperor Palpatine didn't make the list.

Palpatine from Revenge of the Sith shoulda been on the list.

I was going to comment WTF when I saw The society as no 1 instead of Heath Ledgers Joker. But you got me there Pheobe... This wonderful presentation is what makes watchmojo is more watchable. Keep it up.

I'm so happy to see Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds at top 3

Leo in Django played that so amazingly well made me forget he was a nice person in real life 😭 A good actor will make you believe !

Honorable mentions not mentioned: Palpatine Syndrome Magneto Doctor Octopus Davy Jones Javier Bardem in Skyfall The tether clones Green Goblin

I'm happy that ghidorah was giving a honorable mention, normally he doesn't appear on the list

The Fact That The Joker Is Twice On The List Proves That He Is An Amazing Villian

*Legendary performance of a Legendary character, In a Legendary movie* by a *Legend*

“Dishonorable” Mentions: King Ghidorah Me: BIDIBIDIBIDI Intensifies

Fletcher is what happens if J Jonah Jameson is kicked out of Daily Bugle.

Robert De Niro as Al Capone in Untouchables is a classic villain performance.

Magneto?

That line of dialogue still gets me teary-eyed 😭 4:27 Thank You Killmonger!👌

Ight, I typically don't care for stuff like this, but seriously? "It would feel cheating to put Darth Vader on this list" just, what!? You left out one of the greatest movie villains of all time because it would be "cheating" This is the greatest movie villains of the century, not the decade As Vader would say "what, how can you do this, this is outrageous, it's unfair!"

Great list! Only people I’d have higher are bane and killmonger

Top 1, Heath Ledger he deserve it 🃏... Do u guys miss Heath Ledger?

It's really funny how in the star wars universe, their greatest characters are always the bad the guys. - Darth Vader - Palpatine - Kylo Ren - Darth Revan - Dooku - Grievous Etc... All the good guys, other than Yoda, are all just so... Meh... Your regular cowboy heroes...

Where’s Gary Oldman in The Professional, he absolutely stole the movie.

I was ready to throw my laptop out the window when I got to number one. You guys got me. Well played.

Thanos: I am the best villian and no one from the MCU can beat me Heath Ledger's Joker: And how about DC?

Okay, not dishonorable mentions, they are incredible villains

The down side of joker 2019 is that we wont see that joker battle the batman

Im just so glad that Anton Chigurh is on the list He's one of my fave next to Gus Fring,Joker and Thanos.

*MY FAVORITES:* Pennywise ("IT") Saruman ("The Lord of the Rings," franchise) Smaug ("The Hobbit," franchise) The Armitage family ("Get Out") Davy Jones ("Pirates of the Caribbean," franchise) Voldemort ("Harry Potter," franchise)

"Who doesn't love a bad guy?" A good guy

Hans Landa & Ledger’s Joker are the best, probably followed by Voldemort & Chigurh. Without watching it was obvious all would be in the top 5 for sure. Good for you Watch Mojo, nice list.

You should have included Red Skull, Ronan, Emperor Palpatine and Devi Jones. They are also great villains

Loki is interesting, he's just as much a good guy as proven in his last few movies. His sacrifice in IW made me go from liking the character to loving him.

I saw the dark knight In theatres twice. I never really paid much attention to actors and I didn’t know who Heath ledger was, but I’d seen him in other movies, rom coms and such. I wouldn’t ever say I was a fan but when my sister told me he played the joker I couldn’t believe, had to look it up. His transformation and performance should be what actors aspire to be. What he did in that movies alone, in my opinion, makes him the greatest actor in history.

So, for The Joker, it all started with Mark Hamill then Jack Nicholson then Heath Ledger then Joaquin Phoenix. Huh, I can’t say who’s the best.

“No one cared who I was until I put on the mask” best caption for any ig post in 2020 tbh

Fun fact: Cormac McCarthy originally intended "No Country for Old Men" to be a screenplay, which is probably why it translated so well into a movie. Anton Chigur represents an unstoppable force of evil. The hero cannot defeat it, so the best he can hope to do is escape it, which doesn't always happen in McCarthy novels. This is a very common theme in McCarthy's novels. If "Blood Meridian" could be made into a movie, Judge Holden would probably be number one on the list.

Bill skarsgard made one of the most underrated performances in cinema history, he truly nailed it with Pennywise

Great to see Koba on the list which's from criminally underrated movie trilogy.

Yesterday I watched The Dark knight like 7-8th time, and only third time in the cinema (first 2 times in 2008). And again, wow. I was really scared of him, I got so many emotions again. That performance was amazing. I was thinking, that he is the scariest villain of all time. He just doesn't care, and that is really frightening, when villain does not care....Now we all know, why everything ended like this to Heath Ledger R.I.P.

Ur missing Palpatine from the prequels Why? Yes the prequels were disappointing but Ian McDiarmid played him perfectly

Nice twist for number 1,I really didn't see that coming.

No, jk Simon's was never a villain.he just wanted to bring out the best of his students.

I think koba of planet of the apes can be one of the best villains of all time

I was expecting Emperor Palpatine

random suggestion: top 10 hell's kitchen challenges

Is ridiculous the fact that Davy Jones doesn’t even appear in the honorable mentions. He is a great villain, he should be there

This episode has one of the best jokes with that "society" bit. Lol! Didn't see that coming.

I haven’t watched the whole video yet and I already know the joker front he dark knight will be first

Kylo Ren and the Joker from Christopher Nolan's trilogy.

Personally I would have rated Commodus higher, by far and wide the best performance in years.
