There is really about that scheming smile that can make every ordinary guy turn into some kind of memorable villain especially in the movies. If smiling is for happiness for the most common people, for the villain, smiling comes with a different reason.

The best villains are not outright obvious that they are the enemies. Instead, they triumph their way by concealing all their vicious plans through a very simple, seemingly gentle smile.

7. Al Pacino in the "Devil's Advocate"

He has that smooth bedroom voice that seduces women and that secret-keeping attitude as that of Lucifer's personality. Keanu Reeves never had the chance to outshine Pacino in this movie.

6. Jack Nicholson as Joker in "Batman"

With the smashing makeup that Jack had in this movie to portray Joker, everything was just perfect for him to fit the role.

5. Robert De Niro for "Cape Fear"

No one can ever forget that scene when De Niro gives that vicious grin straight at Juliette Lewis as he teases her to go on top of the auditorium stage.

4. Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor

Gene Hackman does it best for a smiling antagonist. He deserves the top spots along with Jack Nicholson and even Dennis Hopper.

3. Freddy Krueger

There are no words enough to describe the fear that this movie icon gives each time he shows a smile. He is popular for all the horrifying sarcasm that he uses on his scared to death victims.

2. Anthony Perkins for "Psycho"

With a character left all alone in an old motel where no one wants to check in anymore, he definitely has nothing else to do but to just keep smiling in the midst of his anxiety. That tiny smile that just sends tingles to your spine.

1. Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter

There could never be any better seductive serial killer than Hannibal Lecter. And the entire character just cannot help but come alive at its best with the superb acting of Anthony Hopkins.

Check out the slideshow to get a sample of these villains' devious and suspicious smiles.
