Picture this: Star Wars without Darth Vader, Batman without the Joker, and No Country for Old Men without Anton Chigurh...what kind of movie world would we be living in if it wasn't for the evil guys wreaking havoc?!

But, how many times have TV and movie villains left us with some pretty good points?!
