8) Patrick Bateman Listens to Music in American Psycho

None can pull off the facade of normalcy while teetering on the edge of insanity quite like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho (2000). Christian Bale’s chilling portrayal turns Bateman’s life into a performance of plastic grins, empty exchanges, and the uniquely unsettling ability to dissect music and victims with equal enthusiasm. The scene where Bateman, dressed in a sharp suit, grooves to his headphones became one of the most legendary pop culture references for acting normal while internally falling apart or maintaining a calm demeanor even with hardcore rock, metal, or any bizarre music blasting in your ears.
