Cinema has had a long love affair with nutjobs, because psychopaths are just better business. Would you rather plunk down your $12 at a theater to listen to an actress wax philosophical about her kids while doing the dishes or see Leonardo DiCaprio struggle with his sanity at the creepy mental hospital in Shutter Island? Exaaactly. With this week’s infectious update of George A. Romero’s 1973 horror film The Crazies and Shutter Island on top at the box office, now is a crazy time to look back at some of the most memorable cinema crazies in history. By Robert B. DeSalvo

Patrick Bateman or Jack Torrance for sure. Both were total nut jobs. I give the psycho edge to Bateman and the plain crazy edge to Torrance.

How about Al-Gore in An Inconvient Truth... He is so crazy he actually believes we should all drive hybrid cars, that he invented the internet and that he was Supposed to be President! Thats a case of the crazies if I ever heard of one...
You win hands down.Gore is crazy (but not believable) But I though this was make believe Movie crazy not Real Life Crazy, why not include Jeffery Dalmer as well.

Taxi Driver, "You Takin' Ta' Me, are You Taking to Me?" For what it's worth Christopher Walken, in The Prophecy!!! Imagine if Gabriel the Arch Angel came after Your Soul?! Or Viggo Mortisen as Lucifer in the Prophecy? Is Your Heart Delicious?

You totally forgot Ellen Page from Hard Candy! That girl was definitely one of the best crazy person performances ever.

For a whole cast of crazies, check out Julie Taymar's version of Shakespeare's TITUS (Andronicus). Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Matthew Rhys, and Harry Lennix turn in performances that will convince you just how crazy revenge really is.

Yeah, that's a pretty "powerful" CRAZY list of Acting talents you have going on there: and withouta doubt Icon legend MS. BETTE DAVIS is #1 all the way!!! When she/Jane (Ms. Davis character) caught her sister/Blanche JOAN CRAWFORD another Icon Actress on the phone...'Oh, my God the look of lethal danger in Ms. Davis "eyes" is earth fightening to the core. That screen is priceless "WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE" is a Chill-Thrill/Mystery Masterpiece Classic: I wish the two legendary Actresses could of worked more together: their "amazing" Women. As for the latest Horror/Sci-fi "THE CRAZIE's" Starring Actor Timothy Olyphant: it was terrifying on the edge of you seat "frightening" horror. Great storyline "awesome" talented Cast/Movie!

Worst write up ever on Donnie Darko. Did you even watch the film? No wonder no one saw this film with morons like this doing synopses on it.
The Crazy list without Hannibal Lector is like the Baseball Hall of Fame without Pete Rose? Also What about Dennis Hoppers -Frank Booth in "Blue Belvet" huff (Mommyyyyyy) or for that matter almost any Dennis Hopper Character
