can anyone recommend me a movie where its about a deviant or evil murderer (or thief)?
im watching Serial Mom and its got me in the mood (comedy where a "normal" housewife starts murdering people who piss her off)
i know bonnie & clyde is one to start off
there's that other one about the guy who goes on a day of killing then ends up on the pier with the cop
and that one last year about the man and girl who end up killing the American Idol judges (but that film sucks, seriously)

A Clockwork Orange comes to mind

thanks for the suggestion, i've seen that tho. i didnt' like it that much anyway

Sorted by best: No Country for Old Men Psycho The Night of the Hunter American Psycho Badlands Natural Born Killers Silence of the Lambs Se7en Zodiac Monster
These ones I haven't seen yet, but seem to be good as well:
Citizen X, Marshland, Manhuter, Memories of Murder, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The Boston Strangler, Cure, Man Bites Dog, Sweenery Todd

thanks ill get Attack the Gas Station
i've got another request since Serial Mom is this special type of humor
i want films with that 80s/90s chevy chase/bill murray type of humor. like the parody/cheesy humor. like one of my fav films is National Lampoons American Vacation (and European Vaction) and Quick Change
there was one/a series of movies that parodied indiana jones. i could probs google for that tho
OH YEAH another great example of this humor is Brady Bunch movies but ive seen them 100x
like an example in Serial Mom (one of many) is the boyfriend suddenly turns to the girlfriend and says "I need to take a piss" and she makes this face like EWW?
tnx helpman176 thats a hell of a lot of suggestions!"
i watched No Country and Henry Portrait
i guess Lolita is another one of deviants, and Interview with a Vampire (these r actually my 2 fav films of all time lol)

For parody you can't beat the Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2 1/2 and Airplane. Also Blazing Saddles.

I recommend a German crime film: Das letzte Schweigen (2010) (The Silence)
![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91Qn+5sOp0L._SL1500_.jpg)
It's about a child raper & murderer and spans over a quarter century. Well photographed, acted and overall very recommendable.

Is there any particular reason why those 80s style comedies are not produced anymore?

When society changes, demand changes as well i guess.

The humor is also very of the time, I feel like a lot of the racial jokes wouldn't land quite the same way without the, "oh the 80s factor," that at least the movies I named. I mean Trading Places had Dan Akyroyd in black face ffs.
I personally think, 80s style comedy incurs some amount of if not frank, then borderline offensive by modern sensibilities, humor about race that studios aren't interested in as well. I'm not saying you can't do 80s humor without it but, it seems like a part that is prevalent in some way shape and form in most 80s comedies.

Yes! Good call.
For a more modern example MacGruber is also a decent parody (if you're old enough to have seen MacGyver)

Kingsman, 9.5/10, best movie I have seen so far this year.
