M&M: 10 Smartest Movie Psychos

OK, most of us like lists. They’re easy to compile, easy to read, not particularly challenging to the imagination and fun to debate. Last week I was talked into thinking about movie psychopaths when my friend Dan Fratini brought up a couple of movie psychos, namely Michael Madsen’s Mr. Blonde in “Reservoir Dogs” and Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men.” I gave the subject some thought and rejected both as a little too obvious and mindless. I prefer some thoughtfulness to my psychos, which is how I came up with the following list of The 10 Smartest Psychopaths in Movie History/ Dan Webster , Movies & More. Dan’s Top 10 list here .

Question: Which movie psychopaths would you list as the smartest ones?
