Also, jack torrance and agent smith are nowhere near the same league as those other villains.

Honestly, while the page was loading, my first instinct was Hans Gruber. However, I think Vader is more iconic and is truly a universally memorable villain.

So when you see Vader or hear the Imperial March or hear mechanical breathing you're momentarily puzzled and then think 'oh, right...the Star Wars guy'?

Seriously?

He's more popular as the hero from the sequel. Now T1000 on the other hand...

David Lo Pan was not in the list there. So I did not vote.

You could have voted "Other".

Yeah thanks for pointing that out. So I finally voted other. I guess I just acted to quickly because Lo Pan wasn't there and I didn't study the list fully.

Vader is the easy choice but Gruber helped make Die hard 10x better than any other action movie from the era or even past the era.

No, I know who Vader is. But he does a lot less for me than a lot of other villains.

I have always thought of Vedal in Pan's Labyrinth. So brutal, but you couldn't take your eyes off him.

For being memorable, there's no doubt in my mind that Darth Vader deserves this award. I'm not debating he's the best villain (although he is certainly up there in my opinion), but he is probably cinema's most iconic antagonist, which I think certainly falls down in majority to the spectacular work on The Empire Strikes Back. Sure, he was great in Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, but when I think of a villain, elements of Vader from Empire are always due to strike up, whether it is the now iconic Imperial March, 'that' plot twist or just his demanding presence in his instantly recognisable suit.
