Joseph Wiseman's Doctor No is often overlooked when it comes to arch enemies but the stillness and intensity that he brought to the role for me cuts through many of the more ostentatious characters presented since 1962.

He's the guy who has a tank full of piranha fish that he uses to dispose of people who fail him. I could used a tank like that sometimes!
However, can I make the case that the most sadistic Bond villain and henchman are Robert Davi's Franz Sanches and Benicio Del Toro's Dario from 'Licence to Kill'? These guys are willing to cut out a man's heart at the beginning of the film, rape and murder a woman on her wedding day, have Felix Leiter throw to the sharks, and kill a man by decompression until his head explodes!
Also, Dario used to be with the Contras until they threw him out. Too sadistic for an organisation known for its acts of violence? Gee, he must be bad!

I probably have to vote for Blofeld as well. No other Bond villain is as persistent. But for best henchman/woman, I've always liked Fiona Volpe from Thunderball.

Jonathan Price was about as menacing as Simon Mayo, Mayo too was all wrong for Bond, in fact he wasn't even Basildon Bond. Yaphet Koto was good as Kananga but racial politics meant he was the only black villain. For me the early films got it right as the actors seemed to inhabit the roles, Joseph Wiseman as Dr No, Gert Frobe as Goldfinger, but the best was Robert Shaw as Red Grant in From Russia with Love because when he came face to face with Bond, i thought only one of them will make to the end and it might not be Bond.

The reason is that he wasn't some madman out to get rich, conquer the world or create his own master race or anything else that required a fiendish master plan. He was just a normal drug lord who made the mistake in picking a fight with the wrong man. The best part he does not know why Bond did what he did until the final confrontation.

Never mind that Grant is able to outsmart him, and yet still falls into that eternal trap of trying to talk Bond to death instead of just shooting him- he has real presence throughout the film, and engages in one of the series' best fight sequences when he meets his demise.

The charm and welcoming nature they possess mask the violent killer instinct they both possess.
As for the most hillarious Bond villian; Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies. Hillarious, megalomaniacal, and camp. The man is about as scary as Basil Fawlty. Plus he's an idiot, you don't kill Terri Hatcher just like that!

His understated role through the whole of From Russia With Love builds the mystery to Blofelds identity, which later aids Donald Pleasance's unveiling as Blofeld. Professor Dent is a completely different character to Blofeld, he is just a pawn in the grand scheme of Dr. No's plan, but his twitchy cowardly presence and gaunt rubbery face leave Professor Dent as a competent villain in Dr. No.
I've also got to agree on Benicio Del Toro and Robert Davi in Licence to Kill who are both dark, evil characters and genuinely hold the biggest threat to Bond's character; who is left beaten and bruised at the end of Licence to Kill. Easily the most underrated and ambitious Bond film.

But, so far my favourite Bond villains are Blofeld (Donald Pleasance), Auric Goldfinger and Xenia Onatopp. The reason why I think Donald Pleasance was absolutely brilliant as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice is simply because he created one of the most iconic villains in cinema history. Creating quiet but disturbing evil that is truly embodied by his hate-filled, reptilian eyes. Just a shame he was only in one Bond movie.
However, Auric Goldfinger is one of the most memorable villains in Bond history, creating one of the most famous and most memorable lines of all time, "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
But, there was also one Bond villain who absolutely embodied the femme fatale, but also was sadism incarnate. That villain was Xenia Onatopp. What made her formidable was her desire for Lust Murder, having sexual satisfaction from killing her prey. She was a sociopath and a psychopath.

I believe they originally offered it to David Bowie who turned it down and Walken doesn't have an entirely different look in the film to the one Bowie had at that time. Still my favourite by far.

But i will mention Licence To Kill in general, while Brosnan was the Bond of my youth, i actually grew up with Moore, so when i watched Licence To Kill it was a pleasant shock that I was watching a genuinely new type of Bond, it was action packed, violent and viscious. Sanchez personifies this beautifully.
And on a lighter note, it's always amused me that the one film named after Bond's licence is the film where he actually had it taken away! Bond's quest was all personal.

Walken seems to channel Bowie (the original choice) from The Man Who Fell To Earth in giving Zorin a completely inhuman and dangerously intellectual aura while Grace Jones complements that with her physical might. It might not be the best Bond, but Zorin at least gets the fantastic airship / Golden Gate Bridge set piece to exit on.
Sean Bean is also up there; he works terrifically well as a dark mirror-image of Brosnan's Bond, despite his terribly dated plan to steal all the money from the famously wealthy Bank of England.

His personal vendetta against Bond and against Britain as well as being a former MI6 agent combines the best qualities of the physical threat of Red Grant and the grand scheme of someone like Goldfinger or Hugo Drax from Moonraker (the book not the film). Maybe not the most memorable but perhaps the most personal enemy Bond has had.

I also vote for the 'Blofelds' as each actor brough something different to the role at the same time as keeping him the same evil villian we had seen before.
My all time favourate villians are Mr Kidd and Mr Wint from Diamonds are Forever, these two bad guys who seem to be enjoying each other company as much as they are enjoy there work. There seems to be a deep friendship between them, which makes them great fun to watch.
Non of the more recent bond villians have yet to be as iconic and Connery era villians.

He was of course Bonds 'shadow' who only had two flaws, his greed, and his admiration of Bond (which of course would be his undoing).

In retrospect Scaramanga is one of the few villains who is an equal to Bond, where the rest are just superior by wealth and/or science. Too bad the film was a pretty uneven outing, but Christopher Lee is great.
I was also very impressed as a child by a Jersey Shore pizza eaterie that had a signed photo of OddJob on the wall. He was one of the best henchmen, and apart from "Jaws", one of the few memorable ones. Can we not get good henchpeople nowadays?
Overall, though, I'd have to say Blofeld is the most iconic. As an improviser I know that you can instantly convey the Bond universe by miming stroking a white cat, and making any blandly sinister statement ending in ".... Mr Bond!" You don't even have to be a good mime, or impersonator to pull it off, such is the strength of that image.

He actually manages to rack up a pretty decent bodycount in the process, including a memorable 'amputation by shark'.
'License' was one of the only Bond films that felt ragged, thrilling and real to me as a kid, largely as a result of the villain posing a credible threat, and it's very much a forerunner of the more realistic and grounded Daniel Craig films. Dalton was a great Bond, too.

Nice to see that film has a fan base as it’s the closest they’ve come to depicting Fleming’s Bond (not Daniel Craig as you mentioned, Mark, just sayin’).
Although Moonraker is one of the sillier films, Hugo Drax is a very disturbing villain, When you think about it, he didn’t have a monetary incentive, he wanted to wipe out all human life on Earth and repopulate it with a superior race. He’s essentially Adolf Hitler in space.
Blofeld would be my favourite from the books, but I felt they never really nailed him in the films. He could have been so much more terrifying had they not messed up You Only Live Twice making it before OHMSS when it should really have been a gritty revenge sequel.

Mainly because it was the the film that introduced me to the Bond universe, but he did make a change fro the usual campy bond villain, he was other side of the coin to Bond and had a personal vendetta with Bond which made their relationship interesting - "For England, James? No...for me."
If I have to have one of the pre-GoldenEye bond films it's probably Baron Samadi. I think because there is a sense of mystery to him and is the only Bond villain to be classed as supernatural.
A Dark horse in the Bond Villain Catalogue (and I'm surprised this has only come up once) is Renard from The World is not Enough. OK, it was a fairly poor story and less said about "Nuclear Scientist" Denise Richards the better, but Robert Carlyle gives a really good preformance calm and collected - "Welcome to my Nuclear family".

Firstly, he's a mirror for Bond himself, an evil twin - what Bond could become if he went bad. Plus as a 00 agent it means he has the same training which presumably makes him the intellectual and physical match for Bond. He also attacks him right in the core; while most of the villains just try to kill Bond with bombs and venomous animals, Trevelyan gets inside his mind, destroying him from the inside out. "I might as well ask you if all those vodka martinis ever silence the screams of all the men you've killed... or if you find forgiveness in the arms of all those willing women for all the dead ones you failed to protect." Classic.
Trevelyan also ticks all the villian boxes:
Cool lair (both underwater AND in a volcano)
Sexy henchwoman
Un-ending supply of disposable soldiers
Sinister nickname ('Janus')
Sexually threatens Bond's love interest
Great motivation (both megalomanical self-interest AND political retribution)
Charismatic British actor
All in all, complete the complete package.

Also in the climactic fight he is more than capable of beating Bond, and were it any other film he would.
It's a shame that the Brosnan Bonds had brilliant villains (even the abysmal Die Another Day had more than chilling performances from Toby Stephens and Rosamund Pike) but never scripts that really knew how to accommodate such well-designed and complex characters. Elliott Carver comes a close second for best Bond Villain.

You could also argue he was the perfect metaphor for that cold war era, as neither men engages in conflict but the menace always remains in the shadows.
I cant wait to see the new film, Bardem is always great to watch.
I hope the other characters get the same kind of screen time that Eva Green got in Casino Royale, which made her the best Bond girl In my opinion, ironically, by being a real character and thus much more than just a "bond girl" if you see what I mean.
By the way, when are we doing the next film club ?. I think it should be a horror film for halloween, can I nominate john carpenters They Live, is probably more sci fi but i'd like to see it get some appreciation for a change.

This villain both in the book and the film proved to be the ultimate secret agent assassin. The way in which he humiliates and degrades Bond moments before the villains death on the Orient Express is stunning, never before have I seen 007 so compromised. The villain was so good, his spirit is perhaps seen again in 1967 with Blofelds almost superhuman bodyguard 'Hans' played by Ronald Rich. And then later on you can definitely see it in the eyes of Doctor Kauffmans prodigy Mr Stamper (played by Gotz Otto) in the classic underrated Bond film 'Tomorrow Never Dies' (1997)
Worst Bond Villian, Hugo Drax. Just a silly rehash of Carl Stromberg from the previous Bond film 'Spy who loved me'. Evil for the sake of being evil, a very silly man for thinking he can solve all his problems by building himself a space station and destroying all human life on earth. How was he going to solve the food problem again?

But for me, my fave is Elliot Carver. A lot of people don't think he's scary enough, but that's not the point. Carver is from the league of villains who is just barking mad, and a psychopath to boot. Just look at the scene of him sitting alone after ordering the execution of his wife - there's no remorse, no pity. His scheme is actually excellent, from the stable of a lot of villains plots; start a war and get the sides to blame each other. Pryce is fantastic in the role, despite a sometimes naff script. His death is brilliant too; rule of great villains: you should always have a great death.
And Dr K, of course he's modelled on Murdoch, but he's also modelled on Maxwell too.

Played with icy aristocratic contempt by Michael Lonsdale - although his piano miming skills leave a lot to be desired - he also presides over one of the franchises most ruthless scenes as Corinne Dufour is chased down and mauled by his vicious pet Dobermans.
As for henchmen I have to mention Baron Samedi, for although he does very little in Live & Let Die his creepy presence pervades the film and provides the franchise with one of its best endings.

Jaws is laughable I'm afraid and a reminder of how poor the later Roger Moore's films were. Kananga has stupidest death scene in Live and Let Die - it's just a blow-up doll exploding!!! Christopher Walken gets the hamiest villain award! He spends the whole film smirking.

Yet it's precisely the ruthless nature of the character and Christopher Walken's calculated performance that makes the film memorable. Not to mention Walken's hilarious delivery of the line "I'm happiest - in the saddle!"

In terms of performance I'd have to give it to Max Zorin by simple viture of Christopher Walken being a Bond villain.
In terms of favourite plan though, as a huge misanthrope, Hugo Drax has a special place in my heart even if he appeared in amongst the worst film.
Though honestly I've been a huge fan of the Craig villains. Mr White and Dominic Greene are easily my favouites after Blofeld. White especially as modernised, even icier version of Blofeld and the over-wrought laughter as he mocks M for having no idea Quantum even exists gets me every time.
Honourable mention to Willem Defoe's Bond Villain in 'Everything or Nothing'. He made a great villain in the vein of Walken's Zorin and that game really feels like the fifth Brosnan film, it certainy made for a better Bond story than 'Die Another Day'. The likeness and voices of all the cast (M, Q, Brosnan and even Richard Kiel!) really made it feel like a legitimate part of the franchise rather than just a quick cash-in use of the licence.

Just to get it off my chest, but when Daniel Craig finishes his stint I like to see someone be bold enough to go back to the source material; make some 007 movies in the era the books are set in and actually do justice to the original stories (it worked for Harry Potter). Chris Nolan or Tomas Alfredson at the helm with Michael Fassbender as Bond.

Connery recognies Klebb and you can hear the fear in his voice, before she unleashes her poison-laced dagger shoes.

1. Sean Bean as Alex Trevelyan - whose accent ranged from twee 'recieved English' pronunciation, to his native broad Yorkshire when the character was required to get shouty and angry...
2. Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver - I love Jonathan Pryce (in a manly way!) as an actor, 'Brazil' being in my top 5 - but his performance as the 'evil' Carver was, almost literally, the worst kind of scenery chewing in the Bond canon...
3. Toby Stephens as Gustav Graves - I don't know why, but the character didn't work - even though the script gave the reasons, Graves telling Bond that he based himself on Bond (the Graves character having emerged from a Cuban 'gene therapy clinic having formerly been, very definitely, a North Korean army renegade officer)... too supercilious and sneery.
There are all 'villains' of the Pierce Brosnan era; which is unfortunate, as he was - again, in my view - the second best Bond, until the arrival of Daniel Craig (who is probably the best; apologies to Mr Connery). At least two of the films - 'Goldeneye' and 'Tomorrow Never Lies' are pretty good films.
In my view the role of Elliot Carver was let down by a poorly scripted character with no depth (perhaps that was the point, a supremely shallow media mogul), and the aforemention OTT acting (probably a directorial failure). Toby Stephens was too young, too unknown and too inexperieced as an actor to do justice to a (likewise) not very well written character.
Which leaves Sean Bean; again an actor who can surprise and delight (as he did just a few weeks ago with his cross-dressing teacher character in the BBC's 'The Street' - brilliant work). Trevelyan's subtleties and moodiness were beyond him - at that time. Definetely the worst 'villain'.
