Well...that would also disqualify the Go'auld. But I do agree that specifics should be stuck with instead of large groups.

64. Snidely Whiplash - Rocky and Bullwinkle
Whiplash is the stereotypical villain of the silent movie era, wearing black clothing, cape, and a top hat, and twirling his long mustache. He was the antithesis of Do-Right, a picture-perfect stereotype of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police do-gooder.

reveal said:Yes, yes it does.
But I didn't realize it and the Go'auld had already been accepted.
Gomez, I'll update my Go'auld nomination (#25) to one person as well as the Cylon one (#58).
Thanks I was just about to bring that up.
Dang! I work for 10 minutes on Mr. Smith and someone beat me too it!!!
LOL!

65. Auric Goldfinger
James Bond discovers "Operation Grandslam", a plot by Auric Goldfinger and his organization, sponsored by Communist China, to apparently steal the gold from the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Bond later learns that Goldfinger's intention is not to steal the gold, a completely unfeasible goal, but to destroy it by detonating a nuclear bomb within the depository and contaminating the United States's gold reserve, thereby increasing the value of his own gold.
The most famous scene in the film — arguably the most famous scene in any Bond film — is Goldfinger's repartee with the recalcitrant Bond tied down in the path of a laser beam:
Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."

66. Professor James Moriarty - Sherlock Holmes novels
He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson . . . - Sherlock Holmes
Professor Moriarty first appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle's tale "The Final Problem", in which Holmes, on the verge of delivering a fatal blow to Moriarty's criminal organisation, is forced to flee to the Continent to escape Moriarty's retribution. Moriarty follows, and the two apparently fall to their deaths whilst locked in mortal combat atop the Reichenbach Falls.
He may have only appeared in "The Final Problem" and "The Valley of Fear," but his reputation, and Holmes' grudging admiration, were mentioned in five other tales.

67. Freddy Krueger
Bio: Freddy Krueger is not your standard psychopath who pretty much murders without reason; he has an agenda, he's out for revenge. His scarred visage looks pretty darn terrifying, but also offers this villian the opportunity to emote facially. In this first Nightmare, Freddy is also a lot more sinister (unlike the game show host quipper of most of the sequels). And you've got to admit, aside from the "Never Quite Dead" standard feature of most horror bad guys, Freddy had one other incredible power: he could get you anywhere, anytime, as long as you're asleep. Once one of our characters drops off, they're in Freddy's world, a bizarre mix of reality and nightmare.

68. Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz)
She started out as Miss Gulch, but the tornado and Dorothy's hallucinations turned her into a witch. She can set fire to stuff, send you to sleep in a field of poppies, and send a flock of flying monkies to get you. Unfortunatley she got into a fight over a pair of shoes with Dorothy and her dog and the girl melted her with a bucket of water. I'm glad most villains don't go down that easily.
"I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!"
"Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?"

69. General Zod - Superman II
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
General Zod, as you should recall, was the lead villain in Superman II. In Superman II, Zod and his cohorts, "Non" and "Ursa", were defeated by Superman. Since then, Zod has been up to a lot of things. As you may have seen in "I-Mockery's Where Are They Now?" piece, Zod had a hard time dealing with the loss of his super powers. He tried out many different ways to adjust to human life: Being a hair stylist, a taxi cab driver, a family man, and even the lead man of a German Industrial Supergroup known as "Zod". But none of these things seemed to really satisfy his needs.
Zod knew that his rightful place on this planet Houston (known to some as "Earth"), was to be ruler. Zod eventually made his way back to Superman's Crystal Palace and was able to restore his own super powers. And now that Superman is in a wheelchair (which Zod swears he had NOTHING to do with), there is no longer anyone on this planet left to oppose him.
So Zod is now assuming his position as your rightful leader.
You have two choices:
1. Take his hand and swear eternal loyalty to Zod.
2. Perish for your defiance.
The choice is obvious. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD.
