Simply - which bad guys (and gals) made the biggest impact on your viewing enjoyment that you can recall?
Category one - TV villain?
Category two - movie villain?
My suggestions -
Category one - TV villain shows my age - but as a 12 year old kid watching William Smith's Falconetti in "Rich Man Poor Man" electrified the screen for me in his every appearance. I wanted to boo the picture each time he was on screen.
A very modern take is Jodie Corner who plays the equally electrifying but strange Villanelle in "Killing Eve." Brilliant TV and utterly fascinating character.
Category two - movie villain - Clarence Boddicker played by Kurtwood Smith in "Robocop."
Tuco in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly," played by Eli Wallach was great, but in a different way.
Category 1; the one -armed man in the original “Fugitive” series ~
~ Movies - Nurse Ratched, hands down.
TV - Wilhelm Klink
Movie - Dean Vernon Wormer
Col. Klink; really? He was a US soldier in WW2...
TV villain....I think I've gotta go with Cancer Man, from X-Files. Well acted, good dialogue, and frankly, he's just what you would expect of a conspiratorial government spook.
Runner up would be Tywin Lannister, from game of thrones.
Movie villain...there's been a lot of good ones, but...the Warden, from Shawshank Redemption has to be number 1.
Runner up would be Kahn, from Star Trek 2, into darkness.
But on the set of Stalag 17 he was a great villain!
Think it was Stalag 13....you’re getting your Stalags confused; Stalag 17 was a William Holden movie......
