aka Sheik Yerbouti...
my favorites are the ones who’re playfully malevolent... and who (however grudgingly) seem to develop a certain amount of respect, admiration and affection for the good guy, even as they try to kill him...
and, deep down, I hate to see ‘em get killed, ‘cause that means I won’t ever see ‘em again...
top of the list for me has got to be Hans Gruber, played by Alan Rickman, in Die Hard... sigh... I miss that guy...
others include (in no particular order):
Stanfield (Gary Oldman) - Leon (aka The Professional)
Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) - Robocop
Victor Maitland (Steven Berkoff) - Beverly Hills Cop
Zack (Jonathan Banks) - Beverly Hills Cop
Vincenzo Coccotti (Christopher Walken) - True Romance
Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) - Inglourious Basterds
Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) - A View To A Kill
Qualen (John Lithgow) - Cliffhanger
Blake (John Lithgow) - Ricochet
Burke (John Lithgow) - Blow Out
Zorg (Gary Oldman) - The Fifth Element
Korshunov (Gary Oldman) - Air Force One
Vincent (Tom Cruise) - Collateral
Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) - No Country For Old Men
Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) - Goldfinger
Capt. Smith (James Cromwell) - LA Confidential
Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) - Unforgiven
Brick Top (Alan Ford) - Snatch
Eric Masters (Willem Dafoe) - To Live and Die in L.A.

Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman) - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

I know I’m blanking on others I’d want to put on the list...
btw, any time I see that Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe or John Lithgow is playing the bad guy in a movie I’m about to see, I know I’m prolly in for a treat...
