8. American Psycho(2000)
Patrick Bateman is trash and he knows it. A man who can barely come to grips with his own Yuppie reality that he escapes into a fantasy world of murder to even feel anything. Or does he? In a world like Patrick Bateman's, who knows what can be real or not. It could simply be Bateman's own escape from banality mixed with his unstable emotions.
Nevertheless, Mary Harron's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' landmark 1991 novel is at times simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. Able to take us on a ride through the eyes of madman Bateman, it's Christian Bale's performance that truly makes it, as he is capable of keeping Bateman from going over the edge(or too much over the edge) and making it look like he's not completely crazy.
Every fucking person talks about great American Psycho is. It's like Clerks. It became tired at this point so don't listen to me or whatever.
