Bad-Ass Villianess(es)

These are my top 20 favorite villainesses from various movies. Not really in any specific order. (I tried not to repeat any of the same actresses's in the top 10) Of coarse, I am basing my opinions on the attractive quality each woman portrays and character interaction.

Miranda Richardson ties with Helena Bonham Carter, both showing up 4 times.
