Underrated Movie villains

We’re not talking about Darth Vader, Magneto, Loki, or big names in this thread. Who are some villains in Non franchise or lesser known films who you wanted to see die for either their crimes or how slimey they come across? Villains like Col Tavington from the Patriot, Middle Eye from Apocalypto, or La La and the Bloods in End of Watch who were played so ruthlessly you wanted to kill them yourself

What are some underrated movie villains that make you want to strangle them when you see them on screen

Dolores Umbridge.

Mr. Joshua - Lethal Weapon

Not one of my all time favorites, but Billy Zane as The Collector in Demon Knight is so much fun.

Charles Rane. Passenger 57. Every bit as clinical and ruthless as Hans Gruber in Die Hard but gets zero recognition
Andre Linoge. Storm of the Century. Brilliant portrayal by Colm Feore in the cheapy Stephen King adaptation.
Edward Longshanks in Braveheart...cos **** him.
Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. Possibly the most detestable bad guy in film history.

Vidal from Pan's Labarinth

Sauron

Clearance J. Boddicker - Robocop.

not so much that I wanted to kill these villains but they are supremely underrated:

Vincent from Collateral

Brick Top from Snatch

Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York

Vincent D'Onofrio from The Cell.

And Vincent D'Onofrio from Men In Black.

Hellboy

The Cell in general is a hell of a movie, imo. Very underrated.

Yeah, it's a lesser-known gem.

For sleazy bad guys that really needed to die quickly.

So far some great picks, barring DCEU Cavillman 🙄

- Albert Brooks from Drive (2011)
- Michael Wincott from The Crow

- Compared to the rest of the DC lineup, Danny DeVito's Penguin gets overlooked due to the Joker being such a household name along with Jim Carrey playing the Riddler in the better-received (at the time) Batman Forever.

The Mist - Crazy Religious Lady
