And from Babyon 5, we have the cold-blooded Machiavellan Lord Refa; the gloriously over-the-top Caligulan Emperor Cartagia; the Mephistophelian Mr. Morden; and the telepath-supremacist fascist megalomaniac Alfred Bester. There’s some villains for ya! (That’s about it, really. The Shadows figure as monsters, not villains, and President Clark never develops as a character.)

But that’s a TV show not a movie, or I would’ve brought them up myself. Great characters on that show.
Bill The Butcher Cutting in Gangs of New York.
Hank Scorpio from the Simpsons. Not a movie, I know, but such a great parody of movie villains.
Ah… <rubbing hands together in a villainous way>
All of these dopers fell into my evil trap. I have the names I needed to…
TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men
Just saw it recently, but dang he made an impression.

And in the same vein, Sir Percy from Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes.
(Yes, I like cheese)
HJitler, in all those WWII documentaries.
Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Operative in Serenity. Willing to kill hundreds of people to keep a secret for a government he knows is corrupt, but hopes can become better. The Reavers are horrific and scary, but ultimately, the Operative is far scarier than them.
