who played the better phsyco

who played the better phsyco outt of these films

Psycho.

Jack out of those for me.

anthony hopkins is the scariest for me.

there are a few on that list i love (i.e Williams in One Hour Photo, the mans suppost to be funny! FUNNY!) but Hopkins wins just because. Jack comes in second

Hopkins hands down no one else can pull off that type intensity.

Hopkins first, Nicholson second, Bale third. Other fantastic crazies, IMO, not on this list are Anthony Perkins for "Psycho", and Kathy Bates for "Misery".

True she did act like a true physco but Hopkins made you believe he was pure evil.

i think youve left one major psycho of the list

david hess,most noted for playing the sadistic rapist and murderer krug in last house on the left,the man has pulled of the psycho role with ultra intensity in most every movie he has been in

house on the edge of the park,hitchhike are 2 other notable roles among the many he has played

I liked anthony perkins in Psycho

but the films on your list other than the shining are not the best examples , they all seem to be very recent releases apart from the shining

I also like John Doe in Se7en, the chilled psycho. What about Henry?

Nicholson.

From the list Jack Nicholson

Hannibal Lector wasn't a psycho, per se, given he was a professor before hand, he just had a dark side that he hid very well. Perkins was the same deal, given all he did was cover up for his Mother. Nicholson would be the best of the bunch any other day, but I voted for Bale because he was much more charismatic, distant, and totally detatched. Especially how desensitized he seemed.

anyone who eats people are psychos in my book

I still say that one of the most underrated performances ever is Bates' from "Misery".

Kathy Bates was just obsessed a la JJL in "Single White Female".

Being obsessed is just the icing on the cake for her kind of psychosis. Bates modeled a fantatsic example of pure, 100% schizophrenia in the role of Annie Wilkes with her complete 180 degree mood swings from caring nurse and adoring fan to tempermental critic to dangerously angry obsessive. JJL in "Single White Female" was just pantomime, IMO, compared to Bates' performance in "Misery". At the same time she showed us love and adoration while breaking the ankles of Paul Sheldon in an act of punishment and sadism.

I didn't see it as punishment or sadism, I saw it as "there's no way in hell you're leaving me". Unless we're talking about how she didn't like the way the book ended.
