Since this probably won't be an incredibly long list, I propose a single entry per person.

I'll kick it off with Mr. Wynt and Mr. Kidd in Diamonds are Forever - TOTALLY villainous and TOTALLY memorable. Encore! Encore!

Dracula's Daughter in "Dracula's Daughter"

That film was dripping in vampiric lesbian intrigue.

Anyone ever seen Dennis Rodman's "Simon Sez"? The villian in that piece of work was the gayest thing since gay came to Gaytown. Credit to Master Shake on that last sentence.

Although, I'm not sure he was "great", as I'm fairly sure that if I ran into him on the street, I'd crack him one right across the fucking jaw for his terrible work in that movie.

Magneto in X-Men and X2.

C'mon, Eric. No one's buying that "You have no idea" about Mystique in part 2! Can she morph into a beard?

Seriously, Magneto was gay. And it only added to the character.

This one is a little obscure, but the guy from Ninja Scroll who had the electric rope/wire. And there was that love triangle between him, the chick who made things (like people) explode and the big bad guy who could regenerate.

"Come on Bennet... you don't want to shoot me... you want to cut me, WITH A KNIFE!" *Bennet loses control*

Some one above mentioned Lestat. I was going to post this myself, along with Banderas' character, but I'm not sure if they're really "gay" or not. I mean there's certainly a lot of "gay" stuff going on in that movie, but that might just be due to how vampires are very sexual beings in a way, and most of the characters happen to be male. I think all the vampires in "Interview With the Vampire" have been around so long that gay and straight have no meaning anymore, and I'm not even sure if sex does. I mean you can tell that Lestat "wants" Pitt, and so does Banderas, but I'm not so sure it's a gay thing, even though on the surface it's super gay. If anything, I guess they're bi, but the only real turn-on for them is blood, no matter if it's a man or woman's blood.
I can't remember character names aside from Lestat, it's been a while since I've seen "Interview", I could be way off. Hell, I could be way off from Anne Rice's intention, or Neil Jordan's, but that's what I got from the movie.

I would have to agree with the 'Ninja Scroll' dude,

and not that he was a villin, but the gay-est thing Ive seen in a movie, was that guy 'comming out' in the second 'nightmare on elm street'. Have you seen that recently?

Ack! How could I forget the Baron? If you never the read the book (or saw the miniseries), then you might have missed that the Baron is most definitely gay. AND one of the best villains ever! The actor who played him in the miniseries was the best part.

If I recall correctly, in the Vampire books, it's clear that, whether they're gay or straight, none of the proper equipment is in working condition for sex, as they're basically a bunch of corpses. As far as attraction goes, they all seem to be pretty open, although Rice (whom you've got to assume is an aging fag hag) focuses a bit more on the man-on-man attraction. Aside from the relationship Louis has with Claudia, who has the somewhat twisted distinction of being both a childlike object of sexual attraction and a stand-in for Rice's own deceased daughter.

(The books aren't very good, in retrospect, but I seem to have retained a weird amount of information from them. I can scarcely remember a damn thing about the Aeneid or The Grapes of Wrath or even Huckleberry Finn, but I somehow know that the little girl vampire is named Claudia. Fuck you, Anne Rice, for taking up valuable brain space.)

Also, I'm not sure if crazy, wannabe pre-op transexuals can really count as "gay."

Fouchon and Van Cleef from Hard Target definitely belong in the top 10 (yes, that "are they?/aren't they?/well they live together, don't they?" scuttlebutt is still making the rounds in the gay movie villain community)

but in joint number one place it would be a great big hairy toss up between Krill from Under Siege and Penn from Under Siege 2 ("that uncle of yours scares me... and I like it" is delivered with layers of subtlety that Commando's Bennet, with his operatic arena-filling Freddie Mercury showmanship, could never match)

Lance Henriksen's character was at least bi. The proof would be the scene where he grabs the female lead and saucily says "Load me" while holding out his incredibly phallic long-barreled pistol.

I don't know about Milo. He did threaten to show Joe's daughter how much of a "hot date" he was at one point so he may not be as gay as you might think. Bennet never made that threat to Matrix, he was just gonna slice Milano dead.

Any thoughts on the bad guys in SURVIVING THE GAME? All those men going out to the wilderness to "hunt." Something may have been up there.

Oh, he's gay, don't worry about it. I think Taylor Negron even has said in an interview that he played him as gay. Besides, how could he not be gay? I mean he's all polite and shit.

Milo knows he's the bad guy (one thing that I love about the script), and he revels in it. He knows he has to make a threat, and he knows it will make no difference as to what Joe will do. It's a matter of form more than anything else. If he had to he would show her what a hot date he was, but he wouldn't enjoy it. Much.

I'll be sure not to worry about it too much but I think a case could be made that Mr. Joshua was as gay as Milo.

When you're right, you're right.
He seems to me to be about as gay as the fella in Commando.

And I never meant to imply that this business was something that actually worried you

If gay can also include bisexuals and lesbians, then . . . And if we divided them into horror and non-horror, then . . .

Horror
Vampyr
Henriette Gerard (Marguerrite Chopin)

Lair of the White Worm
Amanda Donohoe (Lady Sylvia Marsh)

Fright Night
Chris Sarandon and Stephen Geoffreys (Jerry Dandrige and Edward "Evil Ed" Thompson)

Blood of Dracula
Louise Lewis (Miss Branding)

and whoever said, "Dracula's Daughter," I agree.

non-Horror
The Big Combo
Lee Van Cleef and Earl Holliman (Fante and Mingo)
Not overtly, but it is there.

Heathers
Lance Fenton and Patrick Layborteux (Kurt Kelly and Ram Sweeney)
Supposedly

Spartacus
Laurence Olivier (Crassus)
