The head vampire/zombie in I Am Legend. A close second is Charles Degaulle in Day of the Jackal.

It's a fun question. For some reason, when the American Film Institute makes this list, the same names usually appear -- Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader and Norman Bates. Lecter, I found quite charming rather than evil; Darth Vader ended up by turning into a goody two-shoes, while Bates was just nuts.
Just to be different, I'll vote for the shark in "Jaws."

I can't remember the movie, but the character of Winston Churchill was really evil.

Most evil in the sense of pure evil to the core monster is none other than the character Amon Goth, SS Nazi prison commandant brilliantly played by Ralph Fiennes.
Now if you were to consider most evil movie villain in terms of conventional 'bad guys' then I'd put Hannibal Lecter as number 1, followed closely by John Malkovich's character who tries to assassinate the president (In the Line of Fire)

Can we include villainesses? Then, Lori, played by Sharon Stone in Total Recall gets my vote! After all, she not only played cruel mind games with poor Arnold Schwarzenegger, she kicked him in the crotch, not once but twice! Ouch!

I kind of have a thing for villians ... like Harry in Spiderman! More because of the fact that he's cute but... I also like villians because they seem to have more of a drive to get what they want! Unlike superheros who just come in and say your bad... you must die!
thats my opinion

My Top 5 in no particular order:
-The Governor of California in The Mask of Zorro - as Captain Love stated when asked where they found the people to work the mine, "Wherever we wanted..." He even went so far as to put a pistol to his "daughter's" chest when being beaten at the sword by de la Vega
-Amon Goeth in Schindler's List - It is said that Ralph Fiennes did such a good job in his portrayal of Goeth, that some Jewsih survivors of the holocaust, whom were invited to the set by Spielberg, were really and truly afraid of him, even off-set, and caused a few of them to have flashbacks...
-Ed Harris' German Sniper opposite Jude Law in Enemy at the Gates - Anyone who'd hang a child deserves the title "Evil"
-Bruce Dern's Characters in both The Cowboys and Hang 'Em High - See them both, and you'll see what I mean...
-Darth Vader - Yes, he turned it around in the end, but along the way, he was just as bad as can be...

Dr Evil.

He creeps me out.

Hayden Christensen in any movie he makes is really evil.

I'll go with the Dr. Evil one too. But one I haven't seen in a while is that Enemy of the Enemy dud. He was much more evil.

I was right about Sharon Stone being a villainess. Now the Chinese consider her to be a villainess for saying that the devastating earthquake was the result of the Chinese government's bad karma.

Aaron the Moor in "Titus"? Too flat. So 2 dimensional. What's his motivation?
Iago in "Othello"? much more believable. He has motivation aplenty, being so worked up about being not just under a black, but under a foreigner who is under a black. And the way he stabs Roderigo? Should have been in the back.
Richard III in "Richard III"! Ian McKellan is awesome and totally over the top. He can make an almost unbelievable villain believable. He's so totally evil that even his mother is cursing him as he heads to the climax.

Definitely Simon Callow as Sir John Osgood in Thunderpants. That was pure evil at work.

Uranus, that would be Tim Roth. Good call.
Al Gore in An Inconvenient Truth, if you're one of the climate change deniers.

Movie: Gladiator
Role: Commodus
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
and as Oliver Reed starred and unfortunately passed away during the filming of Gladiator, I'd like to add his role as Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist.

one of my faves (the unsuccessful villain) Salieri, in Amadeus, played by F. Murray Abraham.
Can't remember the characters' names: Jennifer J. Leigh in RoomMate, Rebecca de Mornay in The hand that rocks the cradle, Kathy Bates in Misery

Nah. He wasn't evil. He was just worried about his 'previous bodily fluids.'
Dean Wormer in Animal House: "Well, as of this moment, they're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!"

PuffinMuffin, Glenn Close's character gets my vote as well. Luis Cypher is also a good call. When they get around to doing a "Heroes" movie, I would add Sylar to the short list of possibles as well.

Robert De Niro ... as Max Cady, Cape Fear 1991
Creepy and evil to the ninth degree in my opinion. De Niro nailed pure evil in this one.
