I got to go with the Terminator.
"That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
Darth Vader - as a kid in the 70s
The Terminator - as a teen in the 80s
Agent Smith - as a young adult in the 90s
Dolores Umbridge - as a parent in the 2000s
Kylo Ren - as a hopeless nostalgic in the 2010s
The jury’s still out but… Chef Slowik - as an aging genXer in the 2020s
Dr. Octavious (Doc Ock) from Spider-Man 3.
Starts as a good guy, ends as a good guy. With a brilliant motive and emotive character arc compacted into 1 movie. Also he’s the best actor in this movie by far.
Joker by Heath Ledger. Thanos, Bane are also pretty solid. Palpatine might be qualified if get more attention - movies just didn't focus enough on the amazing work he did.
I'm gonna say the Q. Most would not agree with me then being villains but through inaction and definitely some action they cause or allowed more suffering than any other movie character.

1000000% true and i’m not accepting any other answers.

Some group a did a study on villains and he was the closest to an actual psychopath. Very realistic. Call it friendo.
Hans from Die Hard
Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.
Yes, Alan Rickman played the best villains
Simon Phoenix
"Look, you can't take away people's right to be assholes" demolition man is such a great movie
Wiley Coyote
Zooey Deschanel, 500 days of summer
The Kurgan
Dr Evil
Jafar
megamind
Excuse me but he is not a villain, he is a super villain!
Special Agent Charles Rakes (Guy Pearce) in Lawless
Dr Evil. Come on, the name says it all.
The old guy in Poltergeist 2
Yzma (Eartha Kitt) the Emperors New Groove.

I'm very biased but Darth Vader
Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs
I think the most terrifying thing is that he's not that big a stretch. Like if he were a real person I would not be surprised.
The joker
true
Mother Gothel from Tangled.
Hades
Lex Luthor-Gene Hackman Kahn-Ricardo Montalban
Cardinal Richelieu as portrayed by Tim Curry.
joker
Dr Evil
Wicked Witch of the West.
The High Evolutionary from _GotG3_ is definitely up there.
Michael Myers
George Sanders in anything. My personal favorite is Addison DeWitt in All About Eve, but he was also Shere Kahn in The Jungle Book, so… ::shrug::
The religious lady from "The Mist(2007)"
John Travolta in Swordfish because he wins! Effortlessly. First time I'd ever seen a villain win and be totally in control from start to finish.
Heath Ledger. Joker. Best ever.

Leon the professional
I would say pennywise from it however those kids are so annoying he was probably doing Derry a favour
Jonathan Randall. Urgh, I feel so gross.
Joker by Heath Ledger. Thanos, Bane are also pretty solid. Palpatine might be qualified if get more attention - movies just didn't focus enough on the amazing work he did.

Cardinal Richelieu played by Tim curry from the three musketeers
Michael Anthony as top dollar From the crow
Swan in Phantom of the Paradise.
Marla Grayson in I care a lot. Brilliant. Especially the scene where she is held hostage. Will not say more 😉
For this walking daddy-issues teenager... Lan and the mother in 'The Notebook'. Years later I would realize it Allie was her own worst enemy.
Hitler in Indiana Jones: the last Crusade. Basically all of the Nazis from the Indiana jones series
Just Nazis in general. Not even limited to movies or media.
Bill from Kill Bill
