The character Edwin from the movie Predators because I think the character is the closest match in a movie to a real psychopath.
So many movies depict psychopaths as these emotionless robot-like humans that go on a killing rampage, but that's not how a real psychopath is. A real psychopath blends in and appears normal to those around him. He doesn't reveal his true nature to anyone until a situation calls for it (that's assuming he's high-functioning enough to do that. Not all psychopaths are). That's what I like about the character, Edwin. He appears seemingly harmless in the group. It's only at the end that you see his true colors.
Since we're only seeing a portion of the character's personality, there could be other psychological explanations for his actions, but as far as I'm concerned, he's a very good depiction of a true psychopath.
There are two other fictional psychopaths in movies that I like and one is Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. Nobody else could have played that role better than Anthony Hopkins. He gave the character a real dark edge to it. And the other is Early Grayce in the movie Kalifornia. That movie made me think about going on a road trip / killing spree just for the pleasure of it.

I mentioned it as she used to remind me of Jame Gumb, as in the video.

My favourite CD kid. I was deeply disturbed by this film as a child because I felt that if my mum were to have the same choice in front of her, she would have done the same.
