Greatest Villain!

The Emperor (the one thing Lucas got right in the prequels)
The Joker
Saruman
Agent Smith
Richard III
Dr. Clayton Forrester

Demiurge out.
 





Darth Vader

Hmm...well I'm not sure.

But even though I adore Darth Vader, I have to say he can't be the greatest villain ever. He redeems himself in the end.
 

Winner and still champion: Josef Stalin. Evil is as evil does, and nobody's done more than he except in the furthest realms of fiction.

Runners-up:

Dracula (how many villains today are Dracula based?)
Hitler (for the sheer popularity of his minions as cannon-fodder)
Emperor Palpatine (subtle...)
Vader (of course)
Doctor Doom (because he's right, you doddering simpletons!)
The Borg Collective (if you find the concept of a Borg Queen distasteful, just think of her as an avatar of the Hive Mind. Hence every time she shows up on Voyager she's being reassembled from spare parts...)
Gul Dukat (off Deep Space Nine - a more twisted wretch of a man I have yet to see)
The Mayor (from Buffy, because he's so darn nice!)
Mobius (from Legacy of Kain series of games, because he's a despicable bleeper)
Cell (from DragonBallZ - he looks cool)
Buu (kid form, also from DBZ, because he's so pointlessly evil he blows up planets while he's still on them)
... and the People's Republic of Haven (from the Honor Harrington series by David Weber - an interstellar nation whose economy has been set up in such a way that they have no choice but to conquer everyone in sight)

Can't think of any more just yet...
 

The Wicked Witch of the West. She's only on the screen for five minutes. But it's what most kids remember about The Wizard of Oz.

But if not her, Auric Goldfinger for the line:

Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.
 

Ooh... I have to agree with Barennd here. Goldfinger is my favorite Bond villian for that quote alone.

As far as Star Wars is concerned...

Emperor? Dead.
Vader? Dead.
Tarkin? Dead.
Jabba? Dead.
Thrawn? Dead.

The absolute greatest Star Wars villian is Jilead Pelleaon. For the simple fact that he's survived in the Star Wars Extended Universe from well before the Return of the Jedi right up through the New Jedi Order. He started off as a Captain, and he's still alive and kicking as a Grand Admiral.

He's the Wedge Antilles of the Empire.
