Odd little fact, In the film Our Man Flint ( James Coburn, 1966), Flint
is attacked in a Bathroom By an enemy agent Called,....................
.............. Hans Gruber (Michael St. Clair ). )

And it just occurred to me that Silvio Berlusconi might be the closest thing to a real-life Bond villain...
Laurence Olivier as Dr. Christian Szell in film 'Marathon Man' was truly a great, Bondian villain, and the infamous "Is it safe?" torture scene was worthy of Fleming. Olivier would also have made a good Blofeld.
Here's an odd one for you: Rutger Hauer as the terrorist Wulfgar in the underrated, underseen Sly Stallone flick 'Nighthawks.' I think Hauer would have been an ideal foe for Dalton's Bond.

Agent In Training
from Last Action Hero.
The Kingpin, from Daredevil
Hanibal Lecter, The silence of the lambs
with regards also to agent charmed and dangerous suggestion for Bane
another great choice ,but he did remind me of that bloke in MAD MAX 2 the Humungus?
Silva from Skyfall is very similar to Ledgers Joker.
Haha, yes agent always shaken - I hadn't thought of that but you're right! )
Great choice Wulfgar from Nighthawks as a villain for Dalton Bond's...Wulfgar vs Pam Bouvier is my dream
Well, Dafoe technicly was a Bond villian once in the James Bond video game: Everything or Nothing. They used his voice and likeness in the game.
A villian that comes to my mind is Alessandro Gassman playing Gianni Chellini in The Transporter 2.
He was a very Franz Sanchez-like Villian with a Dario like appearance. I'm very font of the drug baron/ business typed villians. They seem realistic cold hearted criminals that you can inmagine excisting in the real world. His henchwomen, the femme fatale from the same movie was very Bond inspired as well.
EDIT:
Just saw the movie "Léon", great movie and good god was Gary Oldman a good villian in that one! He needed to be mentioned in this thread!

Good point!

As the OP said- Alan Rickman. That voice was born to caress Bond villain lines ("No doubt you have realized the splendour of my conception") rather than tell Harry Potter off for forgetting his homework.
I've always wanted Ben Kingsley as a bond villain, his range as an actor is mesmerising!
He was featured as the leading Bond villain in the Everything Or Nothing video game! He'd make quite a good villain on screen
1. GoldenEye 2. Goldfinger 3. Skyfall 4. OHMSS 5. TWINE
