    Decent list! Although I must add my own Light from Death Note. Dude was a dick, but you just loved to hate him.

    I reckon Lex Luthor (also played by Kevin Spacey) would go well on that list. He's a great villain. Cold and evil with just a tinge of camp. Plus he comes out with great lines like:

    Lois Lane: But millions of people will die!
    Lex Luthor: Billions! Once again, the press underestimates me.

    Patrick Bateman. Wait, does he count as a bad guy?

    If not, Hannibal Lecter.

    Ooooh good list. I'd also agree with emmaboswood & say Hannibal Lecter.

    Don't think I'd say Darth Vader was charismatic though. I thnk you need to see people's eyes to get drawn in by them!

    You can't get more charismatic then this guy! They should replace Darth Vadar with him.

    Heath Ledger's 'Joker' was the first character I thought of when I read the title.

    Nice list.

    All good films, must admit I've not see No Country For Old Men yet, Hollywood have that knack of making us root for the baddies!

    Vader shouldn't be there ! Han Solo maybe (he started out as a smuggler didn' he ... !)

    Christian Bale - The Machinist !
