The Ultimate Antagonists?

There are so many great fantasy villains in film, it would take all day to name
them all. I decided to provide a list, of my top 15, most memorable, make
believe, bad guys or girls, in movies. These 15 evil-doers, are listed in order,
from least to most memorable. They earn their spot, based on my opinion, of how
enjoyable they were to watch, while carrying out their dastardly deeds.

For your reading pleasure,
Here's the scumbags:

15) Don't think that just because he barely made the list, he's not that bad of
a guy. I'm talking about Paul Sarone (John Voight), (Angelina Jolie's Daddy),
the snake hunter. In 1997's, "Anaconda," he puts Danny Rich (Ice Cube),Terri
Flores (Jennifer Lopez), and inexcusably, her beautiful booty, not to mention
the rest of their film crew friends, in almost constant danger, of becoming
prey, for a prime specimen ,of the largest species of snake in the world. Paul
Sarone, comically leads this fun to watch, and very suspicious of his motives,
crew, on an adventure filled and terrifying journey through the Amazon rain
forest.

14) The next character, is a member, of a group of young friends, faced with
finding a way to earn money, keep their self respect intact, and earn the
respect of others. They want to eat good, have nice clothes, get the girls and
the respect and treatment of a person who can pay their bills. They want, the
"Juice,"1992. In a perilous atmosphere, with limited opportunities, they
experiment with crime. For most of the friends, including Q (Omar Epps), their
little experimental run, does not end the way they expect. For one of the
friends, Roland Bishop,(Tupac Shakur,) it is just the first step in obtaining
the juice that he craves.

13) Like many of the great bad guys, he's likable, he's interesting, he's cool,
the bosses' wife Mia (Uma Thurman), even thinks he's great, he's an exceptional
dancer, he just has that nasty habit of killing people. Maybe the people he
kills, deserve it? Well, maybe some of them. Maybe it's his job? Maybe he has a
bad case of Saturday night fever? Number thirteen, is of course, hit man,
Vincent Vega (John Travolta,) from 1994's, "Pulp Fiction." John Travolta was
nominated for an Oscar, for best actor in a leading role, for his portrayal of
this unusually antagonistic, protagonist, and professional killer.

12) If I include Vincent Vega, I have to include his partner in crime, Jules
Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson.) He's as likable as Vincent. He's as interesting.
He has a good sense of humor. He reads
