    Good Hollywood villains are psychopaths with anger management issues. Great Hollywood villains are smug SOBs with strategic brilliance & icewater in their veins. This is why Palpatine is such a great villain.

        Hans Gruber was my first thought.

        Hans Gruber was definitely an elite villain.

        Best character in Star Wars, and also a huge reason why I think Return of the Jedi is the best of the saga.

        "Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design." Best villain ever.

        General Chang gets no love. I kind of think he was superior to Khan, honestly. Chang almost engineered galactic war that might’ve destroyed the Federation. #StarTrek

        And if you don’t enjoy Christopher Plummer speaking Klingon and quoting Shakespeare, there’s something wrong with you.

        Smug, icewater, sure. Strategic brilliance? Like--a 2nd Death Star? Or a Death Star at all instead of a huge fleet capable of orbital bombardment?
