No disrespect to anyone else's choice, but there really isn't any competition here.

Hardly. He's just another in a long line of scene-stealing villains who had the best lines in the film. Stack him up against these guys(and gals) and you'll see that his role was not ground-breaking by any means:

Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs
Kathy Bates in Misery
Jack Nicholson(also Joker) in Batman
Alan Rickman in Die Hard
Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet
Al Pacino in Scarface
Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest
Fernando Rey in The French Connection
Strother Martin in Cool Hand Luke
Gert Frobe in Goldfinger
Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Jack Palance in Shane
Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard
Richard Widmark in Kiss of Death
James Cagney in White Heat
Margaret Hamilton in The Wizard of Oz

First that poped in mind was Joker from the Dark Knight movie.

I'd have to second the OPs choice of the dentist...I actually liked the boss/villain in ninja assassin too

Well, thanks for your thoughts. I really don't think he could be considered a "scene stealer", but considering the history of The Joker. His portrayal of the villain WAS groundbreaking. No disrespect to ANY of the actors and the characters they played in other movies. Certainly no disrespect to you either...we all have our own feelings about things.

Joe Pesci as "Nicky Santoro" in "Casino"

"I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly
what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I'll
get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank
and... walk in and see and, uh... if you don't have my
money for me, I'll... crack your fuckin' head wide-open in
front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time
that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out
of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head
open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck
about jail. That's my business. That's what I do."

"Get this through your head you Jew motherfucker, you!
You only exist out here because of me! That's the only reason!
Without *me*, you, personally, every fuckin' wise guy skell
around'll take a piece of your fuckin' Jew ass! Then where
you gonna go? You're fuckin' warned! Don't ever go over my
fuckin' head again! You motherfucker, you."

"Listen to me Anthony. I got your head in a fuckin' vise.
I'll squash your head like a fuckin' grapefruit if you don't
give me a name. Don't make me have to do this, please.
Don't make me be a bad guy, come on."

Tommy O'Shea (Michael Parks) - Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)

Tommy O'Shea: Guns make you nervous?
Paul Kersey: Guns have their uses. Idiots with guns make me nervous.

O'Shea's man: Reg, that was really stupid. You've got a big mouth. Now, apologize to the man!
Reggie: I ain't saying shit!
Tommy O'Shea: Ah now, Reggie, you know damn well that if you don't say shit, you lose ninety percent of your vocabulary.

Tommy O'Shea: Lil Reggie's been tellin' tales and talkin' out of school. Now who lil Reggie been talkin' to?
Reggie: I ain't said nothin' to anybody but you you piece of white trash!
Tommy O'Shea: I had no idea you were so prejudiced.
*Reggie spits on Tommy's shoe*
Tommy O'Shea: I usually get a shine with that.

Tommy O'Shea: You, and me, are going to take a lil' walk around the woodshed.

I liked Christopher Walken in True Romance, granted it wasn't that special but when you add in Dennis Hopper and that interrogation scene, Walken becomes a pretty impressive villain.

Walken also kicked ass as the villain in "The Rundown". Mr. Hatcher is one of my favorite comedic villains.

Kakihara from "Ichi the Killer". He is awesome.

Some christmas villains



Bill Goldberg in "Santa Slay"

"Christmas is over when I say it's over!"

Bill Murray as "Frank Cross" in "Scrooged"

Why do you keep calling me "Dick"?

Lucy van Pelt

"Look, Charlie, let's face it. We all know that
Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's
run by a big Eastern syndicate, you know."

Alan Rickman in "Prince of Thieves"

"That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers
and orphans, no more merciful beheadings,
and call off Christmas."

Pinhead, he was a bit of a party pooper.

Christmas Villain

B.Z. (John Lithgow) - Santa Claus: the Movie (1985)

B.Z.: Santa Claus is FINISHED!

[B.Z. is in court over his dangerous toys which include a flammable doll]
Senator: Well, what do you have to say to that, sir?
B.Z.: Well, Senator, I've always known that cigarette smoking could be hazardous to your health. [Laughs]
Senator: This is not a laughing matter, sir! This is a tragedy waiting to happen. You, sir, are a disgrace to your profession!
B.Z.: Senator...
Senator: And I believe THIS toy was advertised as being suitable for three-year-olds?
[Man picks up teddy bear and rips the head off and tips out a contents of sand, nails and broken glass]
B.Z.: Senator, I'm even more astonished that you are to see this and I assure you that if these are not isolated examples, I'll make sure they never happen again.
Senator: Well, you better do more than that, sir. You better withdraw every B.Z. Toy on the market or I'll personally see to it that your license to manufacture and distribute in the United States is REVOKED!
