-- terrific girlfriends;
wonderful mothers; loving, caring individuals, right? Oh, please.
Nice is, well, nice most of the time, of course, but who doesn't enjoy a
little spice in life? Even if said spice is riding a broomstick, wielding a
dagger or transforming into a dragon? They're certainly never boring and
decidedly cinematic. The villainess, from Medusa to "Mean Girls," makes for some of the greatest roles in cinematic
history -- which is why we're excited to watch ubertalented Cate Blanchett play
sexy Russian dominatrix Agent Spalko in the eagerly anticipated "Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Reportedly inspired by famed James Bond
villainess Rosa Klebb (who appeared in "From Russia With Love"), Blanchett got us thinking about the
treacherous tradition of female movie villains. We've come up with our
10 favorite ladies (including one little girl and one fairy) here. To
paraphrase the great Mae West, these gals show that when they're bad,
they're better. (Everett Collection)
