When I mean by "love", I don't mean in sexual terms but in their way of style, character, motivations,etc.
I would say that "leather face" and "Jason Voorhees" and "Michael Myers" would be one of my top favorites.
Other enemies that would be on my list would be "Agent Smith" and "Ahnuld" from the first Terminator movie.
What are yours? /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

T-1000 and agent Smith. both wear tidy attire and look fairly human but neither are.

Also Castor Troy from con air was quite ruthless

I really enjoyed both Nicolas Cage and John Travolta as bad guys in the movie "Face Off". You know, the one where they actually take their faces off! So that's where they got the title! It was right there, staring me in the face the whole time!

Gollum. That little dude roxors. The part of LotR The Two Towers where he gets talking to his split personality is great. And during the MTV movie awards when he won best CG charater was hilarious.

Ordell Robie (Samuel L. Jackson) in "Jackie Brown." It's not his best character by any stretch, but it's one of his few villian roles, and he rocks in anything. Plus, it's Tarantino aka The God of Filmmaking, and there are those on this site that malign this movie unjustly, so it's pissing in their punch bowl, too! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Let's not forget Arnold in Total Recall. Technically, he was a bad guy (one that had gone good).

Oddjob from the Bond Series.
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern from Hamlet
but my favorite villains are the ones you just loathe for betraying the innocent. Like the cop from Dancer in the Dark.

Bill Paxton as Severen from Near Dark for his scene in the bar alone.

Nicholson as the Joker.

Denzel as Alonzo Harris.

And Darth Vader, quite possibly the most bad-ass character ever put on film.

The Joker. They should have called "Batman" "The Joker". He made that flick and the franchise. What a crappy follow-up with sick-looking DeVito. *shudder*

What made Darth Vader such a bad ass in the original trilogy was the mystery of his background. All we knew about him in Star Wars was that he was the (then un-seen) Emperor's right-hand man and he had personally wiped out the Jedi order. Up until Empire I wasn't even sure he was human. (I was four when the first movie came out, seven when I saw Empire the first time.) The usual story-line when I played with my action figures was my own interpretation of Vader's fall from grace. And those were ALWAYS better than the prequels. Lucas turned THE intragalactic bad ass in a whiny spoiled brat.

The Hill just might be the best film Lumet ever made. Fitting that it should have one of the best (and most underrated) movie bad guys. In a film full of actors at the top of their game (Connery, Ossie Davies, Michael Redgrave, Roy Kinnear, Harry Andrews) Ian Hendry quietly steals the show from all of them. Give the right bastard a bit of power and you get a jumped-up little Hitler in full-on weasly civil-servant mode. Nails it right down to the little power-mad glint of ambition behind his eyes. A pure git.

Evil bastard, hell-bent on revenge and the best thing about the film is it depicts him as being a perfectly capable adversary with justifiable motives.
