“That is a hard question. There are so many great movies. I would say Silence of the Lambs. Dr. Hanibal Lecter is one of the scariest thriller characters. A great performance by both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins.”

It$ Britney, B*t commented on Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects':

“Is this even a fair question? Favorite psychological thrillers? There are so many! but I suppose if I had to narrow it down to three they'd be Identity, The Sixth Sense (Kind of cliché?), and Shutter Island. Identity is my absolute favorite because of how the movie is split between two realities that you think at first are directly related to each other somehow, until you find out that one isn't a reality at all. I just think that movie makes psychological thrillers because you actually were inside this tortured and murderous man's head; watching how he has coped with his life and redirected all the traumatic events that happened to him into these people that seem so real. I was blown away by that movie and it's ending is one that has you slumped in your seat thinking about the things our minds are capable of. Also, the book was brilliant as well. Do I even really have to explain why I love The Sixth Sense? He was dead the whole time! Shutter Island was beautiful. Leo won an oscar in my heart for that movie. I was so convince by his character's genuine fear and confusion that I almost wanted to believe that it was all some kind of hoax to make him feel crazy. But what really got me was that last line "Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or die as a good man?" Says it all... I was speechless. Maybe any psychological thriller with Leo in it is one I also love? And for the record I also love, Fight Club, The Matrix, Donnie Darko,The Butterfly Effect and all those other classics. JS”

Janet commented on Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects':

“My favorite is the classic Hitchcock, Psycho. I know it may be passé to choose this one, but even after the shower scene, the build up to the climax of the movie is one of the most tense, most "make you wonder" set of scenes in any movie I have seen since. I always compare all psychological thrillers and dramas to this movie and to how it made me feel when I watched it.”

Win A DVD Of The Psychological Thriller 'Side Effects'

Channing Tatum and a psychological thriller--what else could you possibly ask for? Side Effects, the film starring Tatum, Rooney Mara, and Jude Law, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, comes out on Blu-ray and DVD May 21, and we've got 3 DVD copies to give out! For those who haven't seen, Side Effects tells the story of Emily Taylor (Mara) undergoes bizarre side effects after her psychiatrist (Law) prescribes her a certain drug. But--as any other thriller--there are way more shockers and twists. (Especially one scene that will make you absolutely gasp.) The story line isn't necessarily what you think, and will have you talking long after the credits roll. So, what are your favorite psychological thrillers? All you have to do to win a copy is to comment below one of your favorite thrillers...

So Wait, Why Isn't Russell Crowe Starring In The New Bill Hicks Biopic?

Despite apparent rumors to the contrary dating back to 2008, Oscar-winning Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind actor (and not-so-acclaimed musician, Olympic telephone thrower and courageous tugboat captain) Russell Crowe will be directing but not starring in the planned biopic of Bill Hicks, the massively influential stand-up comic and social critic who passed away in 1994 at 32.

"Bill Hicks' life is tragically short, but spectacularly interesting," said Crowe's and attached screenwriter Mark Staufer, speaking with The Guardian. "The screenplay has gone through a number of drafts and we’ll go into production early next year. It is a huge role for someone, made all the more special, or downright scary, by the fact that the director's an Oscar-winning actor like Russell."

Production is purportedly scheduled to kick off next year. No word on why Crowe has passed on the lead role—I mean, the resemblance is pretty uncanny, plus we know Russell Crowe can handle a pack of cigarettes and an angry diatribe, right? Guessing he was too busy fighting minorities. I hope he'll reconsider, though… I'd pay serious money to see him deliver this:

Who would you want to see play Bill Hicks? Let us know in the comments section below.

Justin Oung: I wonder if Dennis Leary is going to make an appearance as himself in the movie... I hope they cover that part of his life, as well.
