Best movie psychopaths (1 Viewer)

Lecter, joker (ledger version), Annie Wilkes, John Doe, and Max Cady were all pretty great too.

List the movie with your selected psychopath or it's not going in the pole. I am not interested in making this labor intensive for me.

Also a link to a clip is extra credit.

TIA.

Right, I was thinking of the character he was based on.Also some of the best tone setting intro score music ever, by Lalo Schifrin (also scoring, incidentally, Doctor Detroit, the Mission Impossible theme, and many, many more).

Goldfinger, Blofeld, Stromberg (Spy Who Loved Me) and Hugo Drax (Moonraker) were iconic Bond villains, as Odd Job and Jaws were as henchmen/assassins.

- Abnomal violent social behavior.

- Failure to learn from experiences.

- Antisocial behavior without remorse or empathy.

- Inability to establish meaningful personal relationships.

- Lacks human emotions like guilt.

- Unstable and agressive.

Are we sure Dirty Harry doesn't fit most of these? Definitely a hero of a different generation.

 
You mean psychopath or sociopath?

If you mean psychopath, I'll go with Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

Would be neat to make a list of characters original to movies. Chigur and Wilkes and Lector are terrifying but they are also backed by a few hundred pages of detail and description by some of the best writers of the last 100 years.

Awesome. She tied a guy up and then proceeded to read him Walt Whitman all night and then told a groupie she deserved to wear white and that all women do on their wedding day.

Complete psycho.

Full Metal Jacket's Private Pyle and Sergeant Hartman are both psychopaths. Animal Mother, too, I believe.

The Cobra Kai instructor, John Kreese, in the original Karate Kid movie.

Any reason not to consider Darth Vader?

 
Gabbar Singh (Sholay, 1975) is an iconic psycho in Bollywood film, Dude with the army green fatigues and beard, appears about 3 minutes into this clip. Without subtitles, it might be hard to follow, but give it a shot. Hint: he makes three of his own henchman undergo Russian Roulette (three chambered, three empty) -- but it's the aftermath that is important..

 
Pacino's Tony Montana in Scarface is a quintessential psycho, but I can't think of psychopathic movie characters without thinking of the actor David Patrick Kelly; he could play psychos differently depending on the movie. I guess the one he played in The Warriors (Luther) is his 'best' if only because he was at his most rabid.
