If i was to think of some off of the top of my head i'd have to say
Zorg from the Fifth Element, just a completely wacky/mad character and brilliantly played by Gary Oldman.
The Number1/John Cavil cylon in the re-imagined battlestar. Creepy, intelligent and again brilliantly played by Dean Stockwell.
Ba'al in Stargate SG1, witty, charismatic and always fun to watch.

"You - my room, 10:30 tonight. You - 10:45. And bring a friend!"
"Locksley, I'll cut your heart out - with a spoon!"
"Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? "
"Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more!"
[Stabs Sir Guy of Gisbourne] "At least I didn't use a spoon..."
Also Gary Oldman in any villain role (Fifth Element; Leon, Dracula, etc.)

You can't get more bad ass than Darth Vader. The sound of his breath is menacing.

Think the Devil from Reaper is a great TV villain of sorts, lights up the screen whenever he's on.
Otherwise, Nazi's in any film, most recently Inglourious ********. They're just evil, and make you hate them, so they do the film villainy role well.

Depends whether we are talking best actor's portrayal of a villain, or just best villain fullstop.
Actor: Anthony Hopkins in SOTL, although some might argue he is an antihero rather than a villain
Villain: Darth Vader is pretty hard to beat; I think the fact that he is masked just adds to it, placing more emphasis on what he says and how he says it. He is also multi-faceted.... he is good in combat, can use force powers, has a large navy at his disposal, yet can also try to use powers of persuasion.
