39. Jack Torrance: The shining. Great villain played by Jack Nickolson.
38. Carl Lee Hailey: Actually I would consider him to be the good character in the film "A time to kill", but he did kill two people. Samuel Jackson does a great job in this movie.
37. Capt. Frank Ramsey: Crimson Tide. This guy does a great job as the officer that is too hard nosed to look at other options. Hackman does another outstanding job. The scenes with him and Denzel are great.36. Ursula: The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies. Ursula is a great villain. "Those poor unfortunate souls..."
* Just a side note here: There seem to be a lot more women in the villains list than the heroes list.
35. Ed Rooney: The principle in Farris Bueller's Day off. Does a good job of being the "villain" in this comedy.
34. Captain Hook: Another Disney character. I love this story and he will always be remembered.
33. John Patrick Mason: The rock. Another villain only in the technical sense. Sean Connery does a great job as a man that comes out of prison to help save the day in The Rock.
32. Col William Tarvington: The Patriot is one of my favorite movies of all time. This character makes one of the best arrogant villains in any movie. After all, he killed a boy. The scene where he is attempting to get Mel Gibson to fight by bragging on the killing of his son is intense.31. Commodus: The evil Emperor who kills his father and attempts to kill Maximus is a great villain in Gladiator. He can make your skin crawl with the way he acts.
30. Lex Luther: A more famous villain. It would be hard though, to always be against Superman. What kind of chance is that?

Ha about your side note...maybe the women are always the supporting actresses to the men heroes....if they didn't have the support, they would never get as far as they do! :)
I'm a fan of the Patriot too, but seriously, what was Gabriel (Heath Ledger) thinking trying to take out Col. Tavington by himself? It was a classic case of #2 hero trying to beat #1 villain (e.g. Rufio in "Hook") and getting killed.
For that matter, what was Gabriel thinking bending down to check and see if Tavington was dead or not? He also must not have known the classic movie fact that the bad guy always pretends to be dead when he isn't.
All in all, Gabriel was a pretty cool character, but seriously, someone needed to give that guy a clue on hero/villian dynamics.
Luke: Exactly right. Thought about putting Gabriel on list, but he did not make it...but his father did.
Jamey: It was just an observation :)
Commodus gives me the creeps.
He did a great job in Gladiator. I did like him alot in Signs.
