At age 16 I was fascinated by the character of Cassius in the Marlon Brando film Julius Caesar.
I thought Brando as Antony was ridiculous but couldn't take my eyes of John Geilgud as Cassius.
I remember remarking that he has a fascinatingly ugly face and a wonderful voice.
He's the one on the left, with James Mason as Brutus.

Lotsa hateful bad guys that did a good job
But
My all time fav
Struther Martin
I first loved to hate him in Cool Hand Luke
Then
Just sat back and enjoyed his despicable yet somehow endearing characters
The Ballad of Cable Hogue showed him at his best
(aaaaaand he qualifies since his career started in the 50s)

James Cagney, George Raft, and Humphrey Bogart. They all played "good guy" roles at times but were best IMHO in their villain roles.

I woke up this morning thinking about this thread. Actually, what I was thinking about was Lee Van Cleef, who pretty much defined the flinty-eyed bad guy in so many movies.

Jack Palance, another great villain.

How can we forget Lee Marvin.
I loved him in Westerns.
I have never seen a Western without a card game, have you?

I always enjoyed Lee J. Cobb. Not always a villain but even when he played a good guy there were lots of layers hidden under the façade.

Barbara Stanwyck played a very bad lady in some movies. She was all villainess in Double Indemnity with Fred McMurray.

There have been some great actors, over the years, playing the part of a villian. Recently, an actor from Spain...Javier Bardem...raised the bar on portraying one of the scariest villains I've ever seen, in the movie "No Country For Old Men". Running into someone like that would be a nightmare.
