History CardCarryingVillain / Film

%%* 1979's ''Film/TheVillain,'' a western comedy with Kirk Douglas as the hapless, [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote-esque]] titular character.

** Ratigan, The World's Greastest Criminal Mind, from ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''. Seems to have stolen the title from ComicBook/LexLuthor.[[note]]Or vice versa, given that it's set about a century before ''Superman''.[[/note]] His VillainSong involves his minions adoring him for having concocted a plan that's supposedly even worse than the time [[OffscreenVillainy he drowned some unspecified widows and orphans]]. In his case, its not just evil on its own that he prides himself at being, but specifically he wishes to be seen as combining the intellect of a cultured gentleman and the power of a criminal mastermind.

-->'''Badguy:''' It's pronounced "Bahd-Gee."

* ''Film/ChildsPlay'': Chucky becomes one in ''Film/SeedOfChucky'':
-->'''Chucky:''' "As a doll I'm fucking infamous, I'm one of the most notorious slashers in history. I am Chucky the killer doll, and I dig it!".

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish:'' Forget cards—"Big" Jack Horner practically carries a neon sign on his back complete with fireworks, loudspeakers, and a Las Vegas Bellagio-style fountain that screams, '''"UNREPENTANT VILLAIN"''' from every angle—and he not only knows it, but relishes in it. When the Ethical Bug calls him an irredeemable monster, he's not even offended, just annoyed that it took the Bug so long to figure it out. [[spoiler: He's committed so many evil deeds that during his death, he wonders which one of his heinous acts ''specifically'' was the reason why he deserves his fate.]]

** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' has Monsieur D Arque, a creepy man who runs an asylum and goes along with Gaston's plan because he gets bribed while he admits that he also likes how despicable it is. Also, while Gaston is normally more of a {{Narcissist}} than a card-carrying villain, there ''is'' the line in the "Gaston" song reprise "No one plots like Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston, plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston!"

** The RunningGag between him and Number Two is that Number Two has turned Dr. Evil's [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub front companies]] into incredibly profitable enterprises (at one point even at least bowing to the Doctor's ideals a bit and creating a Hollywood casting agency, which is vile ''and'' profitable), but the moment Dr. Evil arrives it's back to the schemes to TakeOverTheWorld and/or putting it under ransom with unprofitable prices (one million dollars in TheNineties where that's only a tiny fraction of what they earn legitimately, then one hundred billion dollars in TheSixties where "that amount of money doesn't even exist") – which will waste lots of money ''and'' lead to Powers destroying everything.

* Gene Hackman's ComicBook/LexLuthor in the ''Film/{{Superman}}'' films proudly declares himself to be "the greatest criminal mind of our time!"

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' not only has the main character Gru -- who, in an EstablishingCharacterMoment, makes a balloon animal for a sad child [[KickTheDog and then pops it]] -- and his rival Vector, but takes place in a world where card-carrying supervillains are common enough to have their own bank to finance their schemes (most of which seem to involve stealing landmarks).

* 1979's ''Film/TheVillain,'' a western comedy with Kirk Douglas as the hapless, [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Wile E. Coyote-esque]] titular character.

* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': "Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?"
* El Nebuloso in ''Film/{{Yellowbeard}}''.

* In ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'', Freddy Krueger absolutely revels in his work, perfectly happy to acknowledge how sick and twisted he is. However, he is after ''revenge'' for the vigilante justice he received, so he does have some delusions of justice. Though he eventually did succeed at his GhostlyGoals... and continued killing anyway, since, hey, it's fun, and just because his revenge is complete, that doesn't mean he can't just go on slaughtering.

-->'''UN Representative:''' Mr. Evil-
-->'''Dr. Evil:''' DOCTOR Evil. I didn't spend six years in evil medical school to be called 'mister' thank you very much.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', Rasputin gets a few lines in "In The Dark Of The Night" that indicate that he knows he is evil. He refers to his curse as a "dark purpose" and he tells his minions to "let their evil shine". All things considered, he would have to be even more insane to fail to see how making a deal with the forces of Evil would make him evil as well.
