Lee Marvin - apart from when he playing long haired wacky roles such as paint your wagon and cat ballou - e.g Point Blank.

Also Professor Snape in the Harry Potter Movies. But is he really a bad guy in these?

Christopher Walken in True Romance.
"I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you. My name is Vincent Coccotti."

I would have gone for Alan Rickman for both the roles mentioned.
And also for Jack Nicholson, but as the Joker in Batman, and also for another recent(ish) gangster film, the name of which escapes me at the moment (Was it "the departed?). In both, he seems to have a steely menace behind a jokey or personable exterior which makes it all the more nasty.

Gary Oldman in Léon.
"I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven."
That any pretty much any Christopher Walken baddie...

If it also had Matt Damon and Leonardo Di Caprio, then yes it was The Departed. A very good Hollywood remake of the equally excellent Infernal Affairs

Having just checked, yes, it was the Departed, which won 4 Oscars, apparently.
Also a shout for Seven (Se7en) and the chilling performance by Kevin Spacey
