    I couldn't even put a #1, some of them were truly great and I can't quite bring myself to name one leading contender or standout individual right now, despite what may have been mentioned previous

    Sanchez of course would be up there, and Dario too, although not a main villain, but he was a great adversary also. Wiseman's Dr No, Donald Grant, Donald Pleasance's Blofeld, who we get introduced for the first time, even Kamal Khan I would include. Damn it, almost forgot Scaramanga, he was immense. Hugo Drax was a great talker, but not a great villain for me, although Lonsdale is an actor of caliber, but Drax simply didn't menace enough, but did have the cruel intentions

    No henchmen included, I expect. Probably gonna rank some henchmen later. I included all main villains (even unofficial ones) and didn't include Renard because I think he is a henchman, not a villain.

    003: Auric Goldinger
    004: Alec Trevelyan/Janus/006
    005: Dr. Julius No
    006: Le Chiffre (Peter Lorre & Mads Mikkelsen)
    007: Colonel Rosa Klebb
    008: Franz Sanchez
    009: Fransisco Scaramanga
    010: Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas)
    011: Max Zorin
    012: Elektra King
    013: Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big
    014: Sir Hugo Drax
    015: Karl Stromberg
    016: Mr. White
    017: Prince Kamal Khan
    018: General Orlov
    020: Brad Whitaker
    021: Aristotle Kristatos
    022: Emilio Largo

    12. Gustav Graves

    15. Khamal Khan
    16. Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga
    17. Stromberg
    18. General Giorgi Koskov
    19. Kristatos
    20. Hugo Drax

    I consider Blofeld to be the main villain for FRWL, YOLT, OHMSS, and DAF. None of these villians, while I think about, it were bad per se. Some were just more memorable than others. Some were the weakest part of some otherwise really good movies, and some were the best part of movies even they couldn't save.

    Is there a thread for ranking the Bond girls?

    I think the villains have gotten progressively worse since '74. Drax was the last great villain, and even he was a bit watered down version of what came before.

    You're joking, right? Drax was terrible. There have been so many better villains since him. Kamal Khan, Sanchez, Le Chiffre, Trevelyan, Silva...

    Not a bad list, by any means, except maybe for Drax being there and Silva being a bit too high. I would've liked Dr. No or Rosa Klebb in Drax's place.

    I don't know, I really like Trevelyan. Largo's pretty ineffectual, as cool as he looks.

    Graves just misses out on last place simply because he's such a slimy bugger. Everything that comes out of his mouth is absurd- I find him quite entertaining, in a bad way.

    Im going to rank them from the most evil to the least evil
    only doing top 5 for now.


    1. Max Zorin
    Him shooting down all those mine workers then laughing while doing so ranks him at #1 for me. When I first watched AVTAK I just wanted to jump in my TV and hurt Max Zorin

    2. Franz Sanchez
    When you feed a poor guy like Felix Liter to shark letting him think that you want to kill him only to tell him "this is the first day of the rest of your life" and keep him alive to to suffer from the atatck and the death of his wife to me thats so fucked up and this puts Sanchez as number 2.

    3. Ernst Stavro Blofield (OHMSS)
    When your the proud Owner of a world wide criminal organization you defintly have earned your spot in the top 3 Bond Vilians of all time. In this film when you kill a mans wife on his wedding day thats just so evil in my book.

    4. Hugo Drax
    When your plan is to kill everyone on Earth with nerve gas and have this sick sexual fantices to pro create with your own perfect humans thats just wrong, weird, and evil. Hugo Drax gets the number 4 spot.

    5. Renard
    If you can feel no pain, kill yourself for a physco bitch to kill millions and make her rich thats bad ass and loyal. Renard gets number 5 for me
