Do you mean osteopath?

If so, gotta go with Dr. Richard Kimble.

Mona Demarkov in Romeo is Bleeding

Very underrated. Excellent choice.

 

[George Jefferson Airplane]

Another vote for Patrick Bateman

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Eric Roberts. Even solid in a mess of a movie called Fast Sofa where he plays the husband/pimp of porn star Jen Tilly.

 

[hagmania]

Hannibal lecter - silence of the lambs.

Max Cady - cape fear

Joker - the dark knight

Norman bates - psycho

John Doe - se7en

Annie Wilkes - misery

Not even the best Joker.

Jack Nicholson was terrible as Joker.

... but Mark Hamill was GOAT.

Max Cady - cape fear

Joker - the dark knight

Norman bates - psycho

John Doe - se7en

Annie Wilkes - misery

This is a pretty good list. I have to go with Lecter though.

There's something more scary and real about someone who could be seemingly normal, is educated, and broadly psycho (as opposed to someone who focuses their psychotic episodes on just one character). Lecter fits the bill for me. You just fear he can be normal enough to avoid detection, and that's scary.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Mona Demarkov in Romeo is Bleeding

Definitely the hottest on the list

 

[NewlyRetired]

Does Bill Murray in What About Bob fit a psychopath definition?

[Loan Sharks]

Dr.Frankenfurter - Rocky Horror Picture show

He kills Meatloaf with an ice axe and serves him for dinner to all of his guests, then he raped Susan Saradon and Brad the #######.

Darth is a sympathetic character.

the real psychopath is Emperor Palpatine

When that guy said (paraphrasing) :"If you can't hold a pint, you shouldn't be in the ####ing pub," I think I literally felt my heart sink.

Super hot. I never understood why the guy didn't dump his wife for the babysitter.

Ledger's a fine pick for the troglodytes, but Hamill just is the Joker.
