I would go with Darth Vader. I think the new trilogy kind've tore into the mystique he had. Seeing how he came to be the figure in the old trilogy made him more of sympathetic figure than a purely evil villain. Of course the old trilogy revealed him to be inherently good by the end of it, but the intimidation he posses in movies 4 & 5 is amazing. Heath Ledger's Joker is also a good contender, and it sticks out in my mind because the first time I saw The Dark Knight it blew me away, especially Ledger's performance.
