1. Norman Bates.
Probably because he seemed so normal on the surface. And that demented stare to the camera in the end, of course.

3. Nice house.
One of the few movies in which Costner's blandness is tolerable.

4. Mptel Hell Farmer Vincet cant remember the actor right now
but it takes all kinds of criters to make farmer vincets fritters. What freaked me out is that the very next morning after i saw the film is that he show up on gilligan's island hunting gilligan. How was that actor.

6. It's Freddy for me


I saw the first Nightmare on Elm Street when I was about 8 & it kept me awake for days. It was years until I was brave enough to revisit it.

9. lol....... Gary Oldman should play Bu$h in a movie. Don't know why
but that photo reminds me of him. Blake in'Lost Highway' is a definite contender for all out weirdness. Robert Loggia's tips on tailgating is one of my all time favorite movie scenes.

Sooner or later, he has to get an oscar.

14. Donald Sutherland and Barbara Bain in "Panic"
The BRILLIANT William H Macy plays their son trying to get out of the family business - contract murder. The scene where Grandpa (Sutherland) teaches his grandson how to kill is chilling.

15. Kevin Spacey's "John Doe" in "Se7en"
Ohmyfreakingod!

Morgan Freeman's character (Detective William Somerset)reads the following from John Doe's journal: "On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing."

John Doe to Detective David Mills (Brad Pitt) "Become vengeance, David. Become wrath."

This freak gave me the chills.
:scared:

Henry, from Portrait of a Serial Killer
Edited on Sat Oct-08-05 12:22 PM by Tallison


And if you have the stomach for some scenes, it's actually a very well-done film. Michael Hooker, who plays Henry, does the most dead-on, realistic, understated portrayal of sociopathy I've ever seen on film. Was shot in 28 days on a budget of $111K, based on the confessions of convicted murderer Henry Lee Lucas. Along with The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, it served as the MPAA's basis for establishing the NC-17 rating.

25. Annie Wilkes hands down!
Because unlike the other choices, the supernatural or exagerated, Annie is more realistic. There are people like her out there.

45. She has the perverse coldness about her.
Sort of reptilian. She looks and sounds like someone's sweet aunt, but just oozed evil in Cuckoo's nest. Plus, I saw part of a movie in which she played an evil grandmother that whipped her daughter. I think it scarred me. :scared:

46. She has sort of a detachment, or cold aloofness about her.
In her roles. I got the special edition DVD of Cuckoo's Nest, and it seems as if they had great fun filming it. It really had a wonderful cast.
