The type of villains I like are the ones who are not obviously villians. Good and evil are simply based on point of view.

I cannot think immediatly of an example of this, but I have only seen it a few times. Everyone has their priorities and reasonings. So technically speaking, everyone is a villian and a hero at one time or another, depending on your view.

If I had to choose a villian I liked, that would be the sheriff of nottingham in the kevin cosner's Robin Hood, prince of thieves. that is a fun movie!

Book wise,I would say the mists of avalon as everyone brings their own good or evil. They are their own worse enemy, sorry for the song referance.
