There will just never quite be another Hannibal.<br /><br />Johanna, I agree that the villains are typically such compelling characters. I love learning what makes them tick.<br /><br />Robin, you're right! It takes a lot of chutzpah to be bad!<br /><br />Gwen, I did entertain including Snape in the list. But somehow, I couldn't quite bring myself to it, just because he is so complicated. I do love his character, though. I love Voldy's sometimes laughable "super villain-ness." (And his awkward hugs in the final film rendition)<br /><br />Linda, I definitely recommend all the ones on the list.
