Possibly the only villain on the list that never actually met the good guy, which certainly makes him memorable.
Oh, and good calls on Verbal Kint and Fiennes in Schindler's List.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Yeah, he met a good guy, he just didn't meet the good guy. I can't think of another big budget action movie where the protagonist never met the antagonist.

Off the top of my head neither can I,but then again The Fifth Element was a unique movie,one of my personal favorites in fact,Garry Oldman was fantastic as Zorg,and lets not forget the lovely Milla"Leeloo Dallas multipass" Jovovich,I could honestly watch a film in wich all she did was read the phonebook.

Yeah, it's a really unique, great movie for a whole lot of reasons. Name another big budget action movie where the biggest set piece is a music number?
And I'll agree on Milla Jovovich being entertaining reading the phonebook. Which raises the question as to why the Resident Evil and movies and Ultraviolet were so boring... is it possible the scripts were worse than the phonebook? It's seems to be the only logical conclusion.

The Colour for being inscrutable.
Carol Bennell for singlehandedly thwarting world peace.
Robert Neville for making his legend sink in the subconscious of an entire race.
AM for his sense of cruelty.
Skynet for methodic self defense on a massive scale.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.
This man made life itself a crime. His rationale? All crimes are committed by the living. GENIUS!
He is just amazing but no in a movie, sadly :(
These were a highlight in the Dredd movie, however. Their appearance is one of the few things they managed to get remotely correct (since most of the Angel gang were killed during the 'Judge Child' quest and then redeadified in 'Judge Dredd and the Angel Gang'.) although the religious aspect is sickening:
I'd also like to extend a nomination to Phil Hartman's Major Thorn:
Armies:
(CSM/HH) - Iron Warriors; Death Guard; World Eaters; Night Lords
IG - Vestfalian Expeditionary
Force (Solar Auxilia - HH)
SM - Blades of Inaros (Homebrew)
DE - Kabal of Ouroboros

Oops, my bad. Dr. Evil FTW though, truly.
It does look like we missed a classic though. Honorable mention at the very least.
Crap I forgot Hannibal Lector. Yep

Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it?

Clancy Brown as the Kurgan. Nothing like terrorizing the woman you kidnapped by playing chicken with pedestrians (and cars, and buildings) and trying to force her to sing "New York, New York" with you.
