American Psycho (2000)
From Amazon:
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie obsessed with success, status and style, with a stunning fiancé (Reese Witherspoon).

When I first watched this, I derided it. I liked it but I still put the movie down. Why? Because no movie based on the book could ever do it justice. (Oh, there he goes again, I hear you squeal. Banging on about books, literature and writey stuff. Why can't he just watch the movie...?!? Goddamn columnists!) American Psycho...
