    Tim Curry always looked like a pudgy lesbian to me. The blokey kind. Don't get me wrong, he was superb as Darkness in Legend but he was also in Police Academy: Mission to Moscow playing a generic Russian mobster. So me liking him has its ups and downs.

    Gary Oldman I guess.

    Christopher Lee played the best Dracula, ever. Gary Oldman comes close, though.

    Oldman also plays a great villain (Norman Stansfield) in The Professional.

    Oldman's days as a villain seem to be over, but he turned in some great performances. Hammed it up in just the right way. A good villain is a gigantic bastard you actually enjoy watching, and he had that down.

    My sister has a friend who can never recognize him, it's not just that she's most use to him as being Serious Black and then she watches The 5th Element and doesn't realize he's Zorg but also doesn't know it's him in Dracula, Air Force 1, Lost in Space, & Batman.

    I was recently listening to the commentary on the new Star Trek film where J.J. and the producers were talking about Eric Bana who played Nero and they mentioned that the greatest compliment that an actor could receive was the use of the word unrecognizable which is what many reviews labeled Eric Bana's performance. It seems Oldman also has this quality.

    Christopher Lee hands down. The original Dracula can't be beat imo.

    Still... he's second place, when it comes to comparing him against the best 'Villain' actor of all time, Vincent Price.

    Nero wasn’t in it that much or for very long but what little we did get was great. He’s kinda like a serous Aqua Teen Hunger Force villain, no big theatrics or formality just “Hi, I’m Nero, beam aboard my ship or I’ll kill ya.”
    The only complaint I have about him is the fact that people save hole civilizations with time travel all the time in Star Trek but after going back in time he just decides to kill everything. With his knowledge of the future he could have easily Xanatos Gambit his way into power and saved Romulus.
